🦞 Ottawa Seafood Boil 🦀 SeauDeCrabePartner Ottawa friends, this one is a MUST ! 🔥 If you love bold flavours and a hands-on dining experience, Seau de Crabe needs to be on your list! I brought a pal and we kicked things off with calamari, shrimp, and fries as the perfect app, then dove straight into their Seau de Crabe Mix platter drenched in the mild signature sauce which is sooo flavourful. We also loved our pineapple and blue raspberry fun drinks that are just as exciting as the food! 🍹 Everything at @seaudecrabe.ottawa is taken to the next level with their in-house sauces like their tartar and dynamite sauce for a little hit of spice. 🌶️ Picture juicy crab, shrimp, lobster, corn, and potatoes with no forks needed, just gloves and delicious vibes! This spot is such a FUN experience whether you’re planning date night, a family dinner, or satisfying a serious seafood craving. Bring your appetite and thank me later. 😉 Send this to a friend who needs to go! Visit seaudecrabe.com for their menu and details. 📍2284 Tenth Line Road unit f1, Orleans, Ottawa @seaudecrabe #ottawa #ottawarestaurant #seafoodboil #seaudecrabe #ottawabusiness
