Review summary

What guests say about La Boite Aux Huîtres

La Boite Aux Huîtres is highly appreciated for its super fresh, flavorful, and varied oysters, with selection often mentioned in reviews. The service is generally described as fast and friendly, but the place can be busy and people often eat standing up, so the experience is more quick than leisurely. A negative review mentions poor takeout service, so it’s best to go knowing it’s a popular spot that can sometimes be crowded.

Summary based on 17 reviews.

Mate, delicious. This is the place to try oysters, if you are not an oyster person. We went back for seconds.

Market oysters are always the best. So much variety, freshness and great service. You will not be disappointed. You can buy beer from the local next door and enjoy with your food. Shrimp cocktail was also excellent. Good value.

Hard to describe oysters when it is not a dish that gets prepared. But I will say, all of it tasted fresh, a really great assortment, great recommendations and great value. All of it shucked in front of you if you watch.

Great oyster spot where you can eat right on the spot! The oysters are always super fresh, and it’s no surprise the place is always packed. It’s more of a quick grab-and-go experience since you eat standing up. Perfect for a fast, delicious stop

Went there to order some oysters to go, I asked the cashier if they got the order right as i saw it didn't seem right, the shucker replied yes. Then they served me a platter of shucked oysters!? I said it was to go, then they threw away the oysters and starting mumbling about how terrible I was and shaming me. They threw a bunch of oysters into a bag and when I asked if these were the ones I ordered, they ignored me. I understand it's a tourist destination, so they don't need to treat the locals well. Going to make sure to tell people to avoid this place at all costs

Tried the Slurp & Slurp Express, 6 oysters (BC, US, NS) with raspberry mignonette sauce. Delicious but gone too too soon. Crowded, people standing around makeshift tables.

By far the BEST oyster place in Montreal. They have so many different variety of oysters (different tastes, textures, sizes, etc). The quality & taste is out of this world. Best go-to one-stop summer spot! I can't get enough of the oysters here. Can't wait to go back. Yum yum yum.
