By far the BEST oyster place in Montreal. They have so many different variety of oysters (different tastes, textures, sizes, etc). The quality & taste is out of this world. Best go-to one-stop summer spot! I can't get enough of the oysters here. Can't wait to go back. Yum yum yum.

I felt like a kid in a candy store here. This is a brilliant shop. If you're in Montreal & you love oysters then you should make it a point to come here.

Coming from New York City there were oysters of fantastic quality that I've had before. Most of the oysters were new to me. Their selection is outstanding. I can't wait to come back here again.

Minor nit: The raspberry mignonette was just ok. The cocktail sauce could use more flavor. I was keen on buying an apron that was on display. It was of great quality. Unfortunately they had none for sale. The other goods that they sell are of remarkable quality.

I wish this place was close to home! Cheers!

The oysters were incredibly fresh, with a great variety to choose from. The vibe was chill, & there was plenty of space for us to relax & enjoy our seafood. The service was friendly, & the restaurant was very clean. The prices were absolutely reasonable for the quality. We came a long way to visit again,this was our second time here, & we had no doubt about returning. We missed this place so much, & it definitely lived up to our memories!

Overall, everything was perfect! We came & the person that assisted us was very sweet & helpful. He explained to us how to open oysters. Since we took them to go they gave us ice so they stayed fresh. Quality Quantity & price is perfect.

Some damn good oysters! Fair prices for exceptional quality & the staff know their stuff. They are not playing games here; unfortunately you have no choice but to leave with a smile on your face. This spot will be a staple for me every time I visit Montreal. Please come to Toronto, we need good seafood purveyors like you guys.

It was a very crowded raw oyster bar on the corner of the public market. I had the slurp & slurp express & was impressed with the quality & flavours. Although I’m not sure if it was worth $18, I still enjoyed the oysters & recommend this place to anyone visiting the public market!
