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.

Absolutely our favourite restaurant in London. Service is incredible. Friendly but equally so professional and the food NEVER disappoints. As for sitting at a table surrounded by beautiful seasonal flowers….that has to be the ultimate in happiness for me.
