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.

Went there for a quick lunch today as I am an avid customer of this resto. Unfortunately today the lady seemed not to be in good mood to work. She was on the phone most of the time & the quality of her service is very poor. She never smile, very disrespectful & when we asked for additional rice & cup she just doesn't care at all & had to repeat again, it's like we have to beg to get our order. This staff needs proper training for customer service. Truly disappointing.

I would like to make a complaint about my recent order from your restaurant.

First, you advertised a promotion saying'Buy one, get one free.' However, it looked like you simply split one portion into two smaller portions instead of giving a proper second meal. The quantity in each container was much smaller than expected.

Second, the rice was undercooked & not prepared properly, which made it difficult to eat.

Also, no utensils or gloves were included with the meals, which was inconvenient.

Overall, the experience was disappointing, & I hope you can look into this issue & improve the quality & service.

Delicious Lunch at Seau de Crab!

I recently had the pleasure of having lunch at Seau de Crab in Montréal, & the experience was absolutely excellent. The dishes were delicious, well prepared, & generously served - a real treat for seafood lovers!

I highly recommend this place for a quality meal in a warm & friendly atmosphere. It's definitely a spot worth visiting if you enjoy fresh & flavorful seafood.

Music is too loud, food quality is okay, they make you order at the counter before you sit down so had to get my whole family to get up, check the menu & order before sitting back down. Dont know why they changed the system compared to before. Also, they didnt change their system to the 15% tip before tax.

Food was absolutely delicious. Great taste & good sized portions too. Priced fair for the quality. The only negative is the entrance it's hard to get in especially with access needs - we have a 5 months old & it was really hard to get the stroller in but we did manage. Service & ambiance was good but could do with some work. But makes up for the awesome tasting food.
