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.

    Service was very subpar at this price point. The staff was friendly. It felt like they did not know the menu or the drinks. The raw food was good. But the main courses were subpar for this price point a 400 pound dinner should be better would definitely not recommend Scots is a much better restaurant

    Food and service were absolutely first rate … However, it was so cold … diners wearing coats to eat… would only visit in late spring, summer or early autumn
