About

Sabaidee! Welcome to Sep Lai! We serve traditional Laotian food using many local ingredients to create unique and authentic dishes. As is the norm in Laos, all our dishes are made to be shared! Although you may find similarities with other Southeast Asian dishes such as Thai or Vietnamese dishes, Lao cuisine is a distinct cuisine with its own complex and exciting flavors. Full of fresh herbs, raw vegetables, flavorful meats and always accompanied by a basket of sticky rice, we are proud to share this cuisine with everyone, including vegans, vegetarians and those sensitive to gluten! We hope that the dishes of our parents and grandparents will inspire you with the same comfort and joy as they do us, and that you will exclaim: "Sep lai! It was delicious!"

Délicieux restaurant, j'ai essayé le kua mee avec extra champignons avec un pudding de taro au tapioca & j'ai adoré! Il y a une jolie terasse que j'y irais bien quand il fera plus chaud. Je recommande de réserver si vous êtes 2 & plus

Magnifique terrasse très sympathique & chaleureuse, nourriture excellente & de très belles découvertes! On y retournera assurément! p.s.: la bièrerie Les Beaux Dégâts récemment installée à proximité, sur la rue Charlevoix, offre une superbe sélection de bières & vins (dont plusieurs excellents, du Québec) qui complètent à merveille le repas de ce petit resto'apportez votre vin' à découvrir ! :)

The space was very nice & the patio was pleasant in Mid May. My first time trying Laotian cuisine so I have nothing to compare it to. The food was solidly good, but not great. Everything could have used like 15% more flavor. Nothing was bad, just a little flat. The shrimp was cooked perfectly but could have used a bit more flavor. Same with the red curry soup. The temperature needs some work too. I got a pot of hot tea that was lukewarm. My soup was lukewarm, as was my shrimp. The food came very fast & service was excellent

Le menu dégustation est le meilleur moyen de bien découvrir ce restaurant. Le service & les repas sont superbes, ce qui rend le lieu populaire, donc il faut réserver. Apportez votre vin.

Wow! What a little gem of a place.
Right by Charlevoix metro, it's super accessible either by public transit or by cycling from the nearby canal bike path.
We decided to order the tasting menu for 2, which had most of the items we wanted anyways. Plus, our server modified some items for similar ones that we preferred!
The spring rolls were incredibly fresh & tasty, & the peanut butter sauce was pure goodness. Same thing for the soup!
I'd say it's not the ideal place for vegetarians as there's a lot of fish & oyster sauce in most of the meals, but it's perfect for pescatarians.
They also use local mushrooms & shrimps from Gaspesie.
The mini crème brûlée was the perfect ending to the night.

They're a shared-table style of restaurant, but the tables are very big so you wouldn't feel much different than at regular tables that are close to each other.
I can't wait to come back for the terrasse!

Bonus points for it being a BYOW. :)
