Satay Brothers

Montréal


Amid red walls, hanging lamps and mismatched thrift-store furnishings, this lively and Malaysia-chic bar-bistro serves some of the best 'street food' in Montréal. Crowds flock here to gorge on delicious chicken-satay sandwiches with peanut sauce served on grilled bread, tangy green papaya salad, braised pork (or tofu) buns, and laksa lemak, a rich and spicy coconut soup. It has great cocktails, too.

The 30-something Winnicki brothers quickly gained a cult following after opening a food stall in Marché Atwater, which is still open in the summer.
