Seau De Crabe draws mostly positive reviews for fresh, flavorful seafood, generous portions, and attentive service that many guests describe as the highlight of their dining experience in Laval. All you can eat shrimp and seafood boil specials are especially popular, offering tasty, plentiful options and good value when promotions are on, though a few guests note some dishes can be dry or under seasoned without sauce and occasional lapses in service. The ambiance is frequently described as welcoming and comfortable, sometimes lively, with friendly staff and a relaxed vibe that many consider ideal for family outings or casual dinners. A few reviews point to inconsistencies in staffing and slower service at peak times, but compliments about the quality of the food, the variety of menu options, and the overall experience abound. In summary, Seau De Crabe is viewed as a strong seafood destination with generous portions, competitive prices for the quality, and a generally high level of customer satisfaction that keeps guests returning.
I was excited to try this place because we love seafood but when we arrived the restaurant was quite dumpy. It looks more like a fast food place even though the prices are quite high. The restaurant has been open for 5 years & still looks like it's under construction. The bathroom sink did not even have hot water. The waitress was friendly but after taking our food order forgot our drinks & never checked on us the entire meal. The food itself was mediocre. The fried items (shrimp & squid) were very good. The batter was light & crispy & the squid was not overcooked. The boiled items on the other hand were disappointing. the lobster tail had most likely been frozen & then cooked to mush. It was barely edible. The snow crab legs were decent & the shrimp was very good. It was cooked properly & was not rubbery at all. The corn on the other hand was way overcooked to the point that the texture was terrible & the potatoes were similar. The mussels were large & juicy & went well with the signature sauce.
In summary, for a restaurant to be charging these prices I expected more. I will probably not go back.
From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for something special. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between elegant & relaxed .Atmosphere: Elegant yet comfortable. Great lighting for conversation & a view that added to the experience without overpowering it.Overall: This is easily one of the best seafood restaurants I've visited. Outstanding quality, thoughtful presentation, & world-class service. A must-visit for any seafood lover!
Absolutely amazing experience! The seafood here is unbelievably fresh & full of flavor. The crab was perfectly cooked-sweet, juicy, & easy to crack open. Every dish tasted like it came straight from the ocean.
The portions were generous, & the presentation was beautiful. I also loved the seasoning - rich, buttery, & just the right amount of spice. The staff were super friendly & attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive.
The atmosphere was cozy & inviting, perfect for both a casual dinner or a special night out. Even that I did not eat at the restaurant & I had a take out,it is easily one of the best seafood restaurants I've ever tried!
Cool casual seafood place that you can eat prehistorically at lol they give you a bib & plastic gloves! Dig in & don't worry about a little mess, the papers on the table got you. Pretty decent service, sweet staff but they could come out from the back a little more often. Food is actually great, much better than I expected walking in & definitely would buy again! Tho I don't think I'll be buying the special bucket, with tip it was $200 but me & my buddy ate well so it's money well spent!

First time & I would definitely recommend. The host was super nice! Informed us on the meals worth getting for two & we had more then Enough to feed myself & my boyfriend . Great 11th anniversary spent eating seafood!
If you like seafood boil, you're in for a treat. We ordered the mixed bucket to share with some extra fried shrimp & calamari & it was amazing. The sauce was so tasty & the seafood was well cooked. The service was great too! It was our first time & our waiter guided us through the whole process.
Great price for the portion size, good quality seafood, but the standouts are the signature sauce & the service! Friendly & helpful with delicious flavours.
Loved it! The seafood quality was excellent. The portion generous. We had the sceau de crabe mix. Meriam, was very attentive to our needs. Plus it was fun to eat with our hands!! I highly recommend this place 🦀
