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!

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.

We were happy to be part of La Boite aux Huîtres's first ever edition of the "Merci pour les Huîtres" event ("Thank you for the Oysters" event) in collaboration with Virginia Seafood. Three kinds of oysters were part of the event:
J&W Seafood from Lower Bay Western Shore, Massawadox Salts from Upper Bay Eastern Shore & Sewansecott from Seaside.
A little suggestion, the next time you will pass by the Jean-Talon market, come visit La Boite aux Huîtres & slurp some fresh delicious oysters! We promise you will fall in love all over again with the sea because we did!
