Same seafood deal compare to captain boil but the sauce here is not as co distant nor flavourful. Shrimps seems to be smaller in size .
Fried calamari was descent good size & much better than most restaurants but compare to Marvin's in Montreal still not tender enough. Yet, still a 4/5.
It was a quiet & chill place. Our waitress was super attentive & gave us great service (shoutout to Gaby)! Thank you again for making our first time at Seau de Crabe a memorable one 🦀🦞
Recommendation: Let girls with fake nails know off the bat that the sauce will stain their nails 😬

Faut aimer l'ail!! Hahaha On va essayer l'autre sauve/marinade la prochaine fois. Nous n'avions pas de sauce pour tremper comme vu dans d'autres photos/reviews. Belle expérience & bons prix!!!
Excellent idea!
Very good food, fun to eat.
The sauces are very good & good portions.
Excellent service.
My 3 stars for the ambiance... It's because the place was empty... But good music.
To be enjoyed with friends.
Thank you for a good experience
1st time going with my daughter this evening. It was our 1st seafood boil experience. Ordered the crab mix bucket with the seau de crab sauce. Loved it. I always pass by the location saying I should try it out. Next time I will be back with the whole family. Great service also!

Absolutely loved this place! The seafood at Seau de Crabe is super fresh & so tasty. The food was full of flavor, & the sauces made it even better. Portions are big, so you definitely get your money's worth.
The staff were really friendly & made sure we had everything we needed, & the vibe of the restaurant is fun & welcoming-perfect spot to enjoy seafood with friends or family.
Highly recommend if you're craving good seafood. I'll for sure be coming back! 🦀🍤 🦞
Nous avons adoré notre expérience! Tout est excellent & rempli de saveurs! Si vous aimé mangé avec les doigts, c'est la place! Le plaisir de déguster de bons fruits de mers cuits à la perfection & qui baigne dans une délicieuse sauce épicée à votre goût! Le restaurant est beau & accueillant! Nous y retournerons à coup sûr!
Been to this location a few times, never disappoints! Seafood is fresh, the sauces are flavourful, service is attentive & friendly. One of the few places where the cravings have me coming back, which I have. If you want flavour, freshness & quality, one of the best seafood/boil experiences I've had on the island to date. Highly recommend!
The food was delicious. Shrimp, mussels & fried calamari were our favorite. The garlic sauce was addictive. I did find that the service was a little bit disorganized - tables weren't getting cleaned, ordering was a little weird. All in all though, would definitely come back
Delicious! Not our first seafood boil, & the seau de crabe signature sauce was the best we tried. Seau de crab mix was the perfect size for 2. Great service by Marwan & the decor is also super cute! Will definitely recommend.

great seafood boil to satisfy seafood boil cravings! it's not out of this world amazing but quite tasty & just spicy enough! just wish that there was more sauce! service: waiter was great, waitress was kinda cheap though (barely gave us any napkins every time we asked for some lol) mojitos tasted like juice though, so probably watered down
We decided to go to this franchise because the restaurant looked nicer & more convenient. The restaurant actually look "cute". There is an effort with the nets, the lights & the bar. The food was good & tasty! The cooking was ok & nice.... The sauces were good! But.... Service was truly horrible. Everybody in the restaurant had to get up to get what they needed. (Drinks, tools, sauces, etc.) There was fairly a waiter on the floor. They serve everything in cardboard, bags, wooden forks & plastic cups. They do not serve the plates with special tools, you have to asked for them.... In a seafood restaurant 🤔 The music was very loud & we couldn't hear ourselves. I do recommend "Seau de Crabe" for the unique experience & great taste, I do not recommend this franchise.
Best service I had in a long time. Malek is a great server! He is very friendly & will take the initiative to always make sure everything is impeccable. The food was amazing. I had calamari & it was so good with lemons & white sauce. If you are looking for the best authentic sea food come here.
I went on a Friday night. The sauce they give for the fried calamari & shrimp is excellent. I got the shrimp salad which was ok as well. The service was fast & the waitress gave an excellent service.
Great service, timing was okay for the food. Didn't give it 5 stars because the seafood boil sauce is either to spicy or not spicy at all. If you go for mild the food has absolutely no flavour. Only way to get that succulent flavour is by going spicy but then it's also too spicy. I liked eating in though. The waiter was nice & professional. I would highly recommend the dynamite shrimps & the calamari.
