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.
Accueuil décevant, pas de bonsoir , on nous demande seulement d'aller commander avant de s'assoir.
La portion du seau est décevante versus le prix. Les crevettes étaient excellentes, les moules & le crabe, rien d'extra. Le riz lui était infecte, de très mauvaise qualité.
Aucun service de la serveuse qui n'a apporté que l'assiette sur la table dans nous souhaiter un bon appétit.
Décevant ++.
Une seule fois pour ce restaurant. ☹

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 !
My husband & I dined there last week Jan. 22. We ordered the winter special & the food was amazing! It made us forget about the rude young lady/cashier. We asked her a simple question about the menu in a nice way but she acted sarcastic/rude... not welcoming at all. Half way, the place & our food became very cold.. not sure if the heating was on.

Nous nous sommes rendus dans votre établissement à trois personnes & avons commandé le plat à 200 $, présenté comme étant destiné à quatre personnes selon la documentation.
Toutefois, lors du service, j'ai été extrêmement surpris par la taille des portions, qui étaient objectivement très insuffisantes. Malgré le prix élevé, la quantité servie ne nous a pas permis de nous restaurer convenablement.
En résumé, nous avons déboursé 200 $ pour un plat dont les portions ne correspondaient ni à la description annoncée ni aux attentes légitimes pour ce tarif. Très découragé…
