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.

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 😍
The service is very average. You order at the front & wait to receive your food at your table. What shocked me is that we ordered one of the pricier options (100$ after tax) only to receive 2 tiny pieces of potatoes & 2 small pieces of corn with your seafood.
The seafood was amazing, no complaints there, but I shouldn't leave still hungry after spending a lot on a meal.
They also pressure you into leaving a 5 star review before paying which wasn't the most appreciated either. Anyways, we were disappointed as we had tried another location beforehand & loved it.
