Excellent food, went in 30 minutes before closure, they served us politely & with patience.
We ordered the fish & chips & dynamite shrimp. Both were great.
The batter on the fish was well seasoned too.
Had a great dining experience & time at Oh Crabbe.
Had the crab cakes, shrimp & snow crab boil & along with two sides rice & corn (the other option is potatoes). My company had the lobster tails & potatoes.
Everything was deliciously seasoned, there are multiple seasoning options as well as spice level options.
⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐? Absolutely Incredible Experience at Ooh! Crabe!
We visited Ooh! Crabe with friends after a strong recommendation, & wow-what an amazing choice. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, attentive, & genuinely welcoming. The owner is incredibly friendly & makes you feel right at home.
We ordered two King Boils, one with the Cajun sauce & one with the home sauce & both were bursting with flavor. The seafood was unbelievably fresh, with a generous selection of shrimp, mussels, lobster tail, sausage, corn, potatoes, & perfectly cooked white rice. The portions were abundant, & every bite was delicious. We also tried the Cajun fries on the side, & they were fantastic.
The ambiance is great, the location is convenient, & there's plenty of parking, which is always a bonus. Overall, an excellent experience from start to finish. Whether you're nearby or coming from out of the way, Ooh! Crabe is absolutely worth the trip. We will definitely be back!

The seafood boil was amazing! Seriously, from the calamari to the shrimp & corn, it's gotta be one of the best in Montreal. The lobster was super good too, perfectly cooked & juicy.The staff were super friendly, adding to the fantastic experience, highly recommend.
I am here with my mom for Mothers day & this is a gem I found ! Service is impeccable & food is sooo good, I will definitely recommend the experience if you love seafood ! This is the place to be to enjoy , shrimp, lobster & good seafood! Thank you so much we had an awesome time!
This is my second time at this restaurant & the food has never failed me. Not only do they cook the food quickly but it's always cooked to absolute perfection. As someone who isn't a big fan of shrimp, Ooh crabe is the only restaurant where i'll eat them. The customer service is also amazing & the owner is very kind! Definitely recommend to come eat here
Stumbled upon this restarsnt & decided to give it a try. Glad we did! We were not sure about the buckets so we tried the fried calamari, shrimps & fish & chips. Big portions, fries have that Cajun seasoning & overall very happy with it! Staff was very kind & approachable! Definitely will be coming back to try other stuff! Keep up the good food & service! ⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?
We accidentally discovered this restaurant. The high Google reviews caught my attention, but the photos didn't seem to justify the ratings-the food lacked that signature seafood boil appeal. Still, I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, my gut feeling was right; the place felt overrated, possibly due to inflated reviews. For context, I've enjoyed seafood boils in California, Hawaii, & Houston-some of the best places for this cuisine. Now in Montreal, I had low but realistic expectations for Ooh Crab, & it still disappointed. Upon entering, we were greeted by a host (likely the owner) who seemed disinterested, spending most of his time on his phone. You're required to order, pay, & tip before receiving any service, which made the experience feel very transactional. As others have mentioned, no water is offered-you have to purchase bottled water. It seems they aim to avoid doing dishes since everything is disposable except for the cutlery, which I suppose is a smart move operationally. We ordered the Jumbo Mix for with rice & potatoes. Sensing it wouldn't be enough, we added the fried calamari with shrimp, totaling nearly $100 before taxes & tip. The shrimp & rice were good, but the lobster tail was overcooked & had noticeably shrunk. The crab legs were small, frozen, & also overcooked. Clearly most of the seafood served were frozen. The only decent dish was the fried calamari & shrimp, which is hard to mess up. We tried to make the most of it, but I would pass on returning. At this price point, there are too many better options out there.
Ooh Crabe is a seafood lover's dream! The crabs are perfectly seasoned, tender, & full of flavor. The garlic butter shrimp & fried crawfish are also outstanding. The staff is friendly, & the atmosphere is casual & fun. Highly recommend for anyone craving fresh, delicious seafood!
