Review Summary

La Boîte aux Huîtres is described across reviews as a consistently fresh oyster destination with oysters shucked on the spot and a wide, distinct selection that runs from salty and briny to creamy and buttery. The atmosphere is welcoming and unpretentious, with staff described as friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, making the experience enjoyable and informative for first timers and oyster lovers alike. Pricing is considered reasonable for the quality, and several reviewers highlight the chance to sample different varieties via combos such as Slurp Slurp Express and Tour du Monde. Many readers say they would return, with some calling it a must visit and the best oyster experience in town, appreciating local selections and the opportunity to learn about each oyster. A few minor notes include a raspberry mignonette that was only okay and a cocktail sauce that could use more flavor, plus one comment about clearer counter guidance, yet none of these detract from the overall impression of freshness, variety, and attentive service.

The young lady seller here is quite knowledgeable & convincing. Glad we did the exploration combo with four types of oysters from east west coast of canada, US & Ireland. Believe it or not, PEI oysters were the best. The BC oysters were a bit fishy in smell. The oysters from Cape Cod were also flavourful! Quite a specialty store!
