About Satu Lagi

Satu Lagi is easy to place geographically, it sits on a busy stretch of Avenue du Mont-Royal East in Montreal's Plateau-Mont-Royal neighbourhood, but harder to place on a menu, since it draws from Indonesian, Malaysian, and Peranakan cooking traditions rather than sticking to one national cuisine. Peranakan food, the fusion of Chinese ingredients with Malay and Indonesian spices and techniques that developed among Straits-born Chinese communities across the Malay Archipelago, forms much of the connective tissue between the restaurant's brunch, dinner, and drinks menus.

The kitchen is entirely gluten-free, a distinguishing feature the restaurant promotes prominently and one confirmed across independent restaurant platforms and press coverage. Dishes draw on the flavors of the Maluku Islands, the historic Spice Islands, alongside more familiar Indonesian and Malaysian staples: nasi lemak with a choice of Malaysian fried chicken, beef rendang, or jackfruit rendang; satay in beef, chicken, tempeh, and spiced fish cake versions; and a rendang eggs benedict built around beef rendang and a galangal cream. Desserts lean on Southeast Asian staples reworked for a gluten-free kitchen, including a coconut and pandan creme brulee and fried banana with palm caramel.

Alongside the food, Satu Lagi runs a dedicated cocktail and natural wine program developed with an outside mixologist, presented on its own menu section with the same prominence as the food, and its own marketing describes the drinks list as being as much a draw as the kitchen. This is worth noting plainly: it is a full-service restaurant with a real dinner and brunch menu, but the bar and cocktail program is a significant, equally billed part of its identity rather than an afterthought.

The restaurant is closed Mondays, and runs from 11:30 AM to 10:00 PM Tuesday through Thursday, until 11:30 PM on Fridays, from 10:30 AM to 11:30 PM on Saturdays for weekend brunch, and 10:30 AM to 10:00 PM on Sundays. It is the directory's first listing in Montreal or anywhere in Quebec. Address, phone, hours, and menu details are drawn from the restaurant's own website and its OpenTable listing, cross-checked against each other.
