“An oyster is never hurried. It takes the time of the tides, of the seasons, of four years. Our craft is to give it that time.”
— La Famille Boutrais, Saint-Malo
From the selection of the spat to the chef's table, the family watches over every oyster. We do not seek volume, but the houses that will know how to serve it.

Edition
A rare edition, reserved for discerning lovers.
on request
The ritual
The strength of the ocean, the softness on the palate
Three ways to receive it.
Natural
No lemon, barely a turn of pepper. Let the hazelnut speak.
Paired
Pomegranate, blanc de blancs champagne: iodine meets celebration.
Entertaining
A platter, gilded cutlery, and the table becomes a moment.
To give
The illustrated crate
A wooden crate dressed in nautical charts, engravings and mythology, to evoke the oyster without ever drawing it. An object to give, and to keep.

The origin
Four stages, one signature
From the bays of Ireland to Cancale — four years of farming, then purification and shipping in Brittany.
I · Vendée
Spat
Origin
It begins with rigorous genetic selection: the spat, cradle of the future Ostra Regal.
II · Ireland
Grow-out
Growth
In the lively, cold waters of Ireland, the oyster grows, firms up and finds its character.
III · Bannow Bay & Dundrum Bay
Pond growth
8 months minimum
The signature gesture, on our beds of Bannow Bay (Ireland) and Dundrum Bay (Northern Ireland): pousse-en-conche refines the flesh, sculpts the shell and gives its inimitable taste.
IV · Cancale, France
Purification & shipping
≤ 2 weeks
Back to Brittany: in Cancale, the house purifies, selects under a strict specification and ships — the finishing touch of an exceptional French house.
