Taste Buds

thai food in montreal is surprisingly good and Satay Brothers is a must-go for any culinary visitor to the city.

their chicken satay is marinated and cooked over a charcoal grill, served with homemade peanut sauce and cucumbers. outrageously good.

green papaya salad (not pictured) also highly recommended.

my mom's old hair stylist's brother is one of the owners of satay brothers!!

yes exactly! Pumpui’s shrimp pad thai is pretty great too. I am just surprised they don’t do the green papaya salad given that they are so good at veg otherwise.

next time you wanna go, give us a ring

you’re totally right! I never noticed but I go to pumpui when I want curries or more veggie based things. satay bros is def the place to go for skewers, the bao buns and 1000% the papaya salad

pumpui had it one summer! but they haven’t had it for several years :/

that’s amazing, it’s such a good spot.

and yes indeed, probably 30+ times! for me Pumpui is better at noodles and curries, Satay Brothers is better at meat dishes. I would also say that Pumpui makes excellent veg fritters that far surpass SB’s.

love them both, though I don’t always jive with Pumpui’s french influences. their specials are sometimes a bit edgy, we got sick once from a fermented pork dish. they also don’t have green papaya salad which is a shame because it’s arguably the best thing ever and a must order at SB.
