Satay Brothers

Shhh… this was my little secret for years. Stop telling other people about it. The lines are getting too long. We don’t want anyone enjoying this and telling others. So, just keep it our secret at the market and tell others to look for their Indonesian food elsewhere! We don’t want everyone partaking of their interesting soups, salads and satay. So remember… Shhhhhh…

Excellent food, great prices and friendly service.
It does get very busy and it’s the only restaurant with dedicated queue at Atwater market.
The ice tea is also excellent, homemade as it should be.
Really worth it

Satay brothers, please move to London! I could do with eating this more often!
We arrived at Atwater market in the late afternoon, so it should have been long after the main lunch rush… but there was still a long queue of people waiting for their satay goodness! I’m glad we joined the line as this was a truly delicious snack!
I thought I wasn’t very hungry so I tried a chicken satay stick and a pork bun. They were both really good, although maybe a little small… once I tried them I felt like I could have eaten double that amount. Oops. My husband went for the satay sandwich, which was better value and turned out to be huge and gorgeous.
My advice for future satay-​munchers: Order slightly more than you think you can eat as the line is so long you won’t want to go back and order all over again. Even if you’re not hungry, their food is so good it will make you want to eat a little more.

I am in love with Satay Brothers. They are the popular kids on the block. They are spicy yet cool! I love their satay, curry noodle soup with chicken, braised pork belly, and great beers. I’m not yet finished with my food but I already want seconds; damn the line is too long now! Don’t miss Satay Brothers.

Was really looking forward to coming here after reading numerous reviews. Singaporean/​Indonesian/​Malay is a great meal when I can find a restaurant that serves it in it’s fragrant, flavourful and spicy manner. Here at Satay Brothers the vibe is low key. It’s basically a summer food court whereby you eat at communal picnic tables. I’m cool with that as it’s summer and your eating under a tent and there’s are scents of food in the air. Very laid back.
For lunch I had ordered the laksa, 3 satay sticks and a papaya salad. I was really looking forward to a great meal but was seriously underwhelmed. The laksa although looked great was lacking in some flavour. The chicken satay although you could taste was marinated in coconut milk the peanut sauce was bland. The papaya salad was probably the best out of everything but again Paris Phở does a better version. As others have mentioned portions here are a tad on the smaller size. The 3 satay sticks are seriously a joke as they are some of the smallest satay skewers I’ve ever seen. For me overall the food was a 2.75 stars. They could use a bit of galangal, ginger, lemongrass and Thai birdseye chilies to give it more flavour. I respect however that this is their gameplan and I’m a mere observer.
If you have the opportunity and want to check out what I consider top notch Malaysian/​Indonesian food to check out is Restoran Malaysia in Richmond Hill. Or one of the many Banana Leaf restaurants in Vancouver. In Montréal however there is not a huge amount of Indo/​Malay restaurants so they can get away with smaller portions and charging a bit more. My next place I need to check out is Gado Gado. Overall it’s okay I was just expecting so so much more!

the satay brothers atwater market summer cantina (stand) where you find them during the day offering their most popular items.
service and wait time are definitely longer mostly because its in a public market therefore there’s a lot more people and you have to lineup instead. nonetheless, you’re in for a treat.
food is as good and their sandwich du jour is worth it. on the other hand, price wise, it did feel pricier than the restaurant location.
anyway, worth the detour if you’re in the area

Satay Brothers is a wonderful, friendly and incredibly delicious. From their very popular stand during the Summer, at the Atwater Market. To their recently renovated location on St.Henri.
Their food is packed with flavor, as well as simple yet beautifully presented. With their kind and wonderful sense of humor and kindness, never a dull moment seeing the very hard working guys behind Satay Brothers.
Their steamed buns, with tender flavorful pork belly, is outstanding. You like some kick? Definitely order their Laksa soup, it packs a great deal of heat, with loads of flavor. A must try!
Their prices are very reasonable, it will make you want to order numerous things from their menu. A great spot, a must try!

Was looking for Laksa all over town and finally found it by accident on a bike ride to Atwater market.
And it only got better, the laksa was really good, though not enough soup and a bit too creamy.
The pork buns were the best i’ve ever had very comparable the Momofuku’s nyc.
The satay was great. The peanut sauce was a little too sweet.
Problem with Montréal street food Is that it’s as pricy as normal restaurants because there’s isn’t enough for competitive price.

Great place to stop for a bite at the Atwater market! The people behind the counter are always fun to talk to and service is always with a smile. There is usually a line up but worth the wait.
Had the tofu buns with niki papaya salad witch was incredible. The chilies pack punch so if u can’t take the heat move them aside.

Pour prendre une pause et bien manger au Marché Atwater, c’est la place où aller! De style asiatique, c’est souvent le restaurant où il y a le plus de monde au Marché Atwater. Devinez pourquoi ;). J’ai une préférence pour les buns et pulled pork, mais le choix est impressionant de mets asiatiques. Il y a aussi un bon choix de liqueurs asiatiques. Très bon service et une amie me dit souvent que les employés sont beaux.

Les Satay brothers sont situés à l’entrée du Marché Atwater. Nombreux plats à savourer ici, j’ai adoré mes brochettes/​concombres + eau de coco, délicieux ! Par contre, il faut au moins prendre 2 plats car un seul né suffit pas. Soyez prêt à attendre en ligne car c’est devenu une place populaire.

Unreal laksa. I grew up in Australia, and have had my share of awesome Malaysian cuisine. This was completely on par with what I love, and the customer service was brilliant. Quick, friendly, and very very impressive. It’s such a simple thing, but asking your customer’s name in a familiarizing way and then repeating it back to them is a huge deal and makes you want to come back as soon as possible.
