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 bought some takeout & very disappointed because the sauce which should be the heart of the food is just a small tiny box & not even enough for half bag of seafood. In other words, the rest of the bag is tasteless. The only thing I would recommend is their fries which is so crunchy. I would go back only for the fries & skip the expensive disappointing seafood.
Expérience incroyable , les portions généreuses & l'ambiance vraiment conviviale. Chaque bouchée était un pur plaisir. Le service était rapide, attentionné & toujours avec le sourire. Honnêtement, c'est une adresse que je recommande à 100 % si vous aimez les fruits de mer. J'y retournerai sans hésiter !
The waitress is kind & welcoming. She recommended good meals that suit my taste better. The food is high quality & price is affordable. What a very good location. It's near stores with good desserts also, so really love it !
Honnêtement au début je trouvais les prix élevés, jusqu'à ce que notre sceau arrive a la table. Le goût était sublime, les accompagnements étaient parfaits, les fruits de mer frais, la cuisson parfaite. J'ai dur en rapporter à la maison car c'était énorme comme portion, je vous le recommande vivement
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 delicious, well served, & full of flavor, & the atmosphere was really enjoyable. I especially want to highlight Lamis's outstanding service-she was friendly, attentive, & quick, always making sure we had everything we needed. I'll definitely be coming back & highly recommend this place!
Amazing experience! The food was delicious, fresh, & full of flavor. The service was friendly & attentive, & the atmosphere was warm & welcoming. Definitely a place I'd recommend & can't wait to come back !
Très belle expérience au restaurant Seau de Crabe. Les plats étaient succulents, bien garnis & variés. L'accueil chaleureux & la belle ambiance ont rendu le moment encore plus agréable. Une adresse que je recommande sans hésitation.
Great seafood restaurant! Everything was very tasty & fresh, the portions were generous, & the presentation was nice. The atmosphere is cozy, & the staff are friendly & attentive - you really feel welcomed.
The only small downside was the cellophane gloves; it would be much more comfortable if they offered gloves like those used in burger restaurants.
Overall, a great experience. I'll definitely come back & recommend this place to others!
The food was great. But the waitress' service was horrible - she did not provide utensils nor the gloves, apron or anything & kept insisting they were at the table when they weren't! At the end after the meal she provided some scissors. The entire time she kept frowning at us & also when we requested the utensils. Her attitude was the worst. She provided better service to some other folks, & her intent borderline felt like she was being racist. Recommend visiting the restaurant when she is not there!
