Overall, Seau de Crabe delivers fresh seafood with generous portions and flavorful sauces that many diners find satisfying. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the staff are usually friendly and attentive, though some visits feature slower service or moments of chilly attitude. Value is mixed, with portions and quality praised but prices sometimes felt high for the amount received, especially with takeout where packaging and sauce portions sparked complaints. Repeated visits and consistent praise for the crab and shrimp show this spot as a reliable choice for seafood lovers, while a few reviews caution about variability in service and pacing.
If you love saucy seafood boils this place is definitely worth trying . The shrimp were super juicy & covered in buttery seasoned sauce with just the right amount of spice. The sauce soaked into the rice too which made it even better 🦐🔥
The portion was honestly pretty generous & everything tasted fresh. Messy in the best way possible lol. Definitely one of those comfort seafood spots you crave late at night.
En francais : Si vous aimez les fruits de mer bien saucés, cette place vaut vraiment le détour . Les crevettes étaient super juteuses & couvertes d'une sauce beurre épicée pleine de saveur. Même le riz absorbait toute la sauce .
La portion était généreuse & tout goûtait frais. C'était salissant dans le meilleur sens possible lol. Définitivement un spot réconfortant que je recommanderais aux amateurs de fruits de mer.
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.
I had such a wonderful evening at Seau de Crabe Restaurant 🦀✨
The atmosphere was cozy & stylish, perfect for a relaxing dinner. The seafood was incredibly fresh, especially the crab - absolutely delicious! Every dish was beautifully presented & full of flavor.
The staff were friendly, attentive, & made the whole experience feel special. You can really tell they care about their guests.
If you love seafood & want a place with great vibes & amazing food, this restaurant is definitely worth visiting. I will happily come back again!

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
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!
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.

It's not a fancy restaurant but the seafood is very good & very reasonably priced. Great place to eat crab & lobster without crushing your budget. A friendly little place on the Montreal Plateau. Highly recommended!
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 😍
