Review Summary

Reviews describe Seau de Crabe as a lively, casual spot for seafood lovers, with fresh shellfish, generous portions, and a signature sauce that many diners keep coming back for. The hands-on dining with gloves and bibs adds a playful touch, and the staff is frequently praised for friendly, attentive service. Dishes ranging from shrimp and crab to lobster and mussels are consistently noted for quality and flavor, and buckets are often highlighted as good value for sharing. The experience can vary in practice, with some guests reporting long waits, occasional gaps in service or supplies, and a few issues with temperature or heating. Overall, the restaurant is regarded as a standout option in Montreal for a memorable seafood boil, and many guests say they would return and recommend it to friends, despite the occasional caveat about price or consistency.

I wish this was better!! We were really looking forward to trying this place as it is soooo popular. Service was so nice but unfortunately I don't think the food was too fresh…. Crab wasn't breaking cleanly & we were sick the next day. Would recommend other seafood boil place

The food was amazing!!
The place had a queue & we waited about 30 mins but it's worth it. I've always wanted to try seafood boil & this was a great first experience.

Helt fantastisk mat, Seau de crab kan verkligen rekommenderas. Var förbered att marinera hela ditt ansikte i deras mustiga seafood boil. Detta är ett minne för livet 😍
