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!

I was here on Saturday around noon & when I saw the lovely selection of oysters, I couldn't resist. The chucker man was very charismatic & told us a little about the different types of oysters. We tried 6 varieties for lunch. They are high in protein & very satisfying. It was a perfect light lunch. We also took some home for Sunday & they were wonderful all over again! I will be back!
