Satay Brothers is the best food I have had in Montreal. Full Stop. Run by two Asian-Polish brothers Matt and Alex who grew up in the hood and know what food needs to be and what is missing from Montreal eats.
They source their meat from the local butcher and use the freshest ingredients. They operate a tight ship of flavor that will have you addicted upon first taste. I remember coming in for the first day this 2012 season and bought the chicken satay (which comes with marinated cucumbers and a to-die-for nut sauce), and Alex gave me a sampling of their Laksa soup. I sat down and was in no way prepared for the intsta-foodboner (WHICH HAS YET TO SUBSIDE ON MULTIPLE VISITS). Since I live in the hood I come fairly often, and not just because Alex has a charm no one can escape.
Their satays change depending on the day (chicken, pork, shrimp). If you're really hungry go for the papaya salad that is a perfect addition of crunch and acid for the satay. I've never had the steamed pork bun but my friend did and he loved it. If only I wasn't gluten free I would eat their whole menu... in one go.
Plus, they have a staff of some of the cutest guys in the hood. I don't mind. The thought of them opening a resto makes my whole body full of mini explosions in anticipation.
Go here! Wait in the crazy line! Just do it. Honestly, it's worth it. So worth it. Plus, what else are you gonna eat? Carbs and carbs?
