About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
Claude Bosi’s Oyster Bar stands proudly in the ground floor space of Michelin House, furnished with unique mosaic flooring, and fascinating wall tiles steeped in history.

Shellfish and seafood is the main highlight of the menu, but there are many other dishes to choose from too.
Sharing platters, family-style feasts and relaxed dining options are what we do best.

We have space to dine inside and outside. Our outside tables are situated both ‘streetside’ at the front of the building, and also within our semi-open patio. All tables are on a first-come-first-served basis only.

Children of all ages are welcome. Please let us know if you need a highchair and/or space at the table for a pram.

I was disappointed when I learned that I messed up and booked the Oyster Bar. So glad that I made that mistake. Oyster Bar manager was very understanding and welcoming. Had a great meal in a really interesting space. Very enjoyable!
