I make it a point to come eat here at least once every summer. There are so many things that come with grabbing a bite here. First, I want to address the pricing issue many people seem to complain about. So guess what, lobster is expensive AF. I don't go 'round complaining bout this 15$ roll, because you don't see anyone complaining 'bout how expensive caviar is. Then again, maybe it's because I've had many lobster rolls in my forever hungry life and I've paid much more for one, because I just can't control myself. So yes this 15$ roll might not fill your appetite, but it's a dang lobster roll and not a chicken taco (not that Chicken tacos aren't delicious). Second, the taste of this roll comes down to personal preference. I normally hate celery but I appreciate this mayo celery lobster combination. I find that it is creamy, flavourful and delightfully delicious. I would put less mayo in it myself but hey, I ain't making the food. The food has always been consistent from year to year and I always get a full scoop of lobster meat (tail, claw, all of it). Now the best part of eating here is that it is perfectly located on the piers. I grab a bite under the nice warm summer sun with a friend. I enjoy said friend's presence and then we catch up during a stroll on the pier, watching boats and people pass by. That's the way to enjoy summer in Montreal. read more

Müvbox - Seafood Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

What do you get when you cross an abandoned cargo shipping container and food truck? No not a cheesy joke, but the delicious and hip concept that is Muvbox! This old port equivalent of a food truck embodies the essence of shipyard chic. Located in the old port conveniently right outside bota bota spa, it's the perfect snack to keep you energized for biking the port or walking old montreal (or powering through your bridal party photo sesh). The muvbox complex hosts both a taco box and a homard box (the montreal version of a lobster shack). I tried Taco Box and OMG- DUCK TACOS, best I've ever had! The duck confit was plentiful, succulent and perfectly complimented by the hoisin, shiitake mushrooms and shreds of seaweed salad. My friends had the lobster taco and were equally enamored. I was in canard confit heaven! So much so, that the next day at my friend's bridal party photo shoot (which ended in old port) I tried to get us all to recharge at taco box just so I could have another taco- but sadly were pressed for time. [Insert sad face] I had the horchata (a Mexican rice drink) which was delectably cinnamon-y and milky... Perfection! Wonderfully refreshing on a hot summer day. We had the chips and guacamole as well and while the guac was great, the chips had sesame seeds(?) which was different I guess, but didn't work for me. My friends got a cucumber lime juice which was a bit too sweet for our taste- definitely skip that. read more

My friend read about this place in the Foder's 2012 Montreal guide book. We stayed more on the northbound side of town near the museum district, so it was quite a track to get to Muvbox. The plus is that we rode bikes along the river and saw the zip lines and ropes course, which looked amazing. We then walked through old towne and back along the river again past the cruise ships and some cool 1970s housing on the other side of the river. So, when we finally arrived, expectations were very high, and my friend was starving. Since I'm a raw foods enthusiast, I had brought my own raw burger from Crudessence and was happy to sit and eat that while she had a lobster role. However, I know a thing or two about lobster rolls, and these looked average to say the least. So I didn't even have a bite when she offered it to me. So, she then became ill with what appeared to be a mild case of food poisoning. It took more than 2 days for the food poisoning to run its course. Otherwise, we ate vegetarian the whole time. If you are really "into" lobster, use yelp to find the best place. If you just happen to end up he, sure go ahead and eat the lobster roll. Since I am the first person to mention food poisoning, it may have been a one off or related to the Poutine that we are at another establishment. (However, I also ate the Poutine and didn't become sick). Also, it's such a casual place that I did feel comfortable rating my own food that I had brought with me so that is a plus for this place. read more

To eat lobster, you'd think you'd have to fork up a fortune at a dressy restaurant, but that's not the case. Located in the Montreal's Old Port, Müvbox makes the best lobster rolls in town for only $10 or so. A bit more expensive than usual street food, but the location, the taste and quantity are well worth it. You can see the shape of lobster claws in the roll, and the ratio of lobster meat vs. mayo is perfect. Our neighbor raved about the pizza which I am looking forward to trying out soon. read more

I have to admit, their lobster rolls are pretty darn good and also their clam chowder. The lobster rolls are served on a grilled bun which makes it really crispy. One bite, and you are in lobster heaven. Maybe I'm hyping it up, and that could be because I don't eat much lobster. But anyhow, I enjoyed the food. Oh and warning to people who think chips is fries, it's actually just Vickie's chips, not made by Muvbox or anything. My only main complaint is the price.But then again, this place is in the Old Port so rent is probably quite expensive. read more

Lobster Roll implies it is served on a roll. Not a piece of white bread similar to Wonderbread. Respect the lobster. Respect yourself. Plus it is too pricey for what you're getting. Not into it. read more

I like the taste of their lobster roll, tastes great but its so expensive that I don't think I want to come back: for $15 you get some lobster with a lot of mayo stuffed inside hotdog buns. Not my idea of a good meal. read more

Müvbox - Seafood Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

One of the fresh lobster role you can get in montreal. The place is located in the old port and hence the cool atmosphere. The roll is delicious and will definitely come again. The price may seem a bit higher $13.50 after tax. But I should say it is definitely worth it for the money. read more

Müvbox - Lobster roll - Seafood Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Nice location, on the water, in a cool little box. Lobster is good but not out of this world or anything. The sandwich you get for $10 is tiny (understandably so, lobster is not cheap). Worth a trip for a snack but don't go here if you're hungry looking for a meal because you will end up spending a lot. read more

Muvbox is a little restaurant inside a container located in old Montreal. It's such a fun concept and a great spot to grab a snack during your stroll in the old port. There are two Muvboxes in old port. One is Porchetta, the other is the lobster roll stand (or lobster box!). I've only tried their lobster roll so far and may go back for the other items on the menu. The lobster roll is a bit pricy at $13.75 after tax (one star off for that!). They are quite generous with the lobster as you can bite into chucks of fresh lobster meat. But the size is so small that I would need 2 to make it a worthy meal... The price value relationship definitely reminds me of the gourmet food trucks. :P read more

I went to the small location near quaie Jacques-Cartier, where all the food trucks are. I was so excited to try it but was very disappointed with the quality. Considering that all they serve are lobster rolls that cost nearly 20$ with taxes, I was expecting something great. The lobster meat only consisted of claws. There were 3 claws in my roll. The lobster was very chewy to the point where I had to spit out one whole claw as it was impossible to chew. They obviously use pre cooked frozen meat, which I understand since lobster season is over, but the product should remain edible. I love love lobster and I was so looking forward to this... They do toast the bun... but even a good bun could not save it. The service was very friendly. read more

Ive heard about this place and seen it all over instagram... I was really excited to finally try it. When we got there I was really happy , the location is so nice right by the water and near the bota spa.. but honeslty for 11$ a lobster roll its really nothing special , they use a really cheap brand of bread. Also they could atleast butter the rolls or press them? And they sell bags of chips. I dont know about you but if your already serving homemade lobster rolls why dont you make your own fries? They have a wood oven to make pizzas and the couple beside me had it , it looked great. I guess I got a little disappointed because you kinda expect more than a bag of chips & cheap bread. By all means you dont want to serve homeade fries no problem but atleast be unique and make your own. The place really looks like a small box its really cool. It sucks when you have something going on with downgrading quality. I think the location really helps with the place.. otherwise good luck! read more

Le roll était certes très bon, mais 21,21$ pour le trio avec Diète Coke, tasse de chowder (correct) et chips? La prime du buzz et du lieu est chère payée. Et le pain est un pain style Weston. Une chance que les chips étaient des Miss Vickie... read more

We stopped by for a "snack" while playing tourist on a beautiful sunny day in the Old Port...and I was disappointed. For just over $15 after tax I expected more. The lobster isn't bad but it's a small portion served in what is basically a hot dog bun. read more

Heard of this place a lot and saw a lot of pictures Instagram, so figured I had to try it. Wow what a waste of money. Not tasty and incredible overpriced read more

In all honesty it tastes ok. So why did I give it only 3 stars? The answer is simple, first of all the roll was filled with only lobster knuckle. When your paying $15 I expect some tail, also way to much celery. I also tried the shrimp and crab roll. More of the same, a lot of mayo both seafoods were mushed and shredded beyond recognition. For a few dollars more might as well be seated in a nice restaurant downtown and be served the proper way. read more

And little box by the river serving delicious lobster rolls in the summer at a reasonable price. Also does lobster pizza and a surprisingly good clan chowder. Lobster was fresh and you are given a good sized portion of it. read more
