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.

It was closed after the holidays on Monday and Tuesdays. Our reservation was canceled. We made a reservation at the oyster bar instead. We had great food, chips, champagne along with a wonderful server! Drinks after in the bar! What a fun evening!! Wonderful stop on the way to Egypt!!

Mains - vongole, clams throughout chewy which was unpleasant, they took this off the bill. Mussels, flavourless. Ambience was nice but overall not a great experience, would not return.
