MR CAJUN is widely praised for seafood boils that are generous in portions, featuring fresh seafood and bold Cajun seasonings that many diners find tasty and good value. The dining experience is described as lively and welcoming, with fast seating and attentive service in many visits, though a few reviews note occasional lapses in service or slower moments. The small ocean and grand ocean options are highlighted as flavorful and substantial enough to share, with the sauces and seasoning repeatedly cited as a standout. The concept of enjoying seafood cooked to order at the table, along with the vibrant atmosphere and music, adds to the appeal. Repeated visits and strong recommendations suggest overall strong satisfaction despite the occasional hiccup, making it feel like a go-to seafood destination for fans of Cajun flavors.
The food is DELICIOUS!!! A must visit if you lose seafood & boils. The crab cakes were great, le petit ocean was more than enough for 2 people. & reasonably priced too!
Amazing experience !!! After being disappointed with Seau du Crab, we wanted to try another seafood boil restaurant.
This was hands down the most amazing dinner/seafood boil I had… we were even debating on visiting the next day for lunch 🙈it was THAT good !!!
Must visit whenever you're in the MTL area
Omgoodness, so walking in i wondered whether to turn around because it smells not fabulous in there, not fishy & i don't think it's them i think it's the super old building location they're in. Ordered for the crabcakes meal for takeout, had very low expectations, went to pick up groceries & went home.
Well, i opened that thing & my eyes fell out of my head. First of all, veey generous portion, 3 quite good sized crab cakes, the fries looked like the ones you want for poutine, fat wedge of lemon on the side. Still low expectations but smiling with hope. The fries - still FANTASTIC after the detour to the grocery store. The crab cakes, i want to curse they were so good - the crisp was still there but the cake itself was just this beautiful texture & the taste was sitting on a boardwalk in New England by the sea.
LOVE LOVE LOVE it, i can't wait to try the shrimp & calamari, i see bankruptcy in my future lol.
Thanks so much, just excellent 🙏
C etait vraiment bon. J enleve 1 etoile car il n y avait pas de serviettes pour s essuyer les mains. Il n y avait pas non plus de fouchettes special crabes donc c etait difficiles de décortiquer les pinces de crabes.. La serveuse n est jamais revenue nous voir pour savoir si tout se passait bien. Donc je suis un peu décu du service. Par contre rien a redire sur la nourriture.
After trying seau de crabe twice & being beyond disappointed I was ready to feel the same about this seafood boil. Happy to say it was the exact opposite. Mr. Cajun's boil was spiced & cooked to perfection. Everything was very fresh & the portions were generous. The garlic butter dressing added some extra flavour. The service was fast & lovely. I will definitely be back!

Awesome experience - the food was so delicious. Will definitely go again. We had the small ocean which was enough for 2. Honestly it's value for money with the full big crab. Simply loved it.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at MR CAJUN with a group of seven, & the experience was nothing short of fantastic! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the friendly staff who immediately made us feel at home. The atmosphere is vibrant & welcoming, perfect for both casual meals & special occasions. We started with a variety of appetizers, including the perfectly seasoned crab cakes & the freshest oysters we've ever had. Each dish was a delightful introduction to what was to come. For the main course, we indulged in an array of seafood options. The crawfish boil was a crowd favorite, bursting with flavor & cooked to perfection. The shrimp & lobster dishes were equally impressive, with generous portions & exquisite seasoning that highlighted the freshness of the seafood. What stood out the most was the impeccable service. Our waiter was attentive & knowledgeable, ensuring that our glasses were always full & our needs were met promptly. The staff's enthusiasm & passion for their cuisine truly enhanced our dining experience. MR CAJUN is a gem for seafood lovers. Whether you're craving a hearty seafood boil or a refined lobster dish, this restaurant delivers on all fronts. We left with full stomachs & happy hearts, already planning our next visit. Highly recommended!
Service was good! The crabs & the sauce were very tasty. We had the fried calamari, a little bit hard & chewy but overall satisfied! Would definitely come back

This was a really fun experience & would recommend for a date night. That being said the service was lacking: drinks coming late, appetizer ordered never came. With some strong customer experience training this could be a hot spot. Also it would be good if the seafood boil came with tools as much of the ratio is crab legs.
Amoureux des fruits de mer, voici votre nouvelle adresse préférée. Une cuisson parfaite, une sauce délicieuse, un staff souriant & efficace. Le plaisir de manger avec les mains (gants & tabliers fournis), une belle variété (crabe des neiges, homard, crevettes, moules), & au milieu de beaucoup d'autres établissements pour commencer ou continuer la soirée sur St Denis. Merci pour ce très bon moment
An expensive version of Captain Boil with shrimps that looks very average. Overpriced. Quality ok. Slow service when you get there & no one come to see you. Crab. Cake was made of some mystery meat.
I decided to try this restaurant out for my birthday & I was very happy, amazing staff super nice...the Cajun sauce & lemon pepper sauce was amazing, food was great cooked perfect & good portions....Went at 7pm & we didn't have to wait for a table very happy. Congratulations on the new establishment. (2 Petit ocean plates/ one crab plate one shrimp plate) Second time it was just as good as the first, will always be my favourite spot. Make reservations before going.

Fun concept , great presentation & food was good. We got the bucket for two but the meat in crab & lobster was almost negligible. I also got the unlimited shrimps & they were awesome... enjoyed eating hands
