Oyster bar: the shucker experience by Ostra Regal

An iced counter, a shucker opening to order, the full range of a producer-shipper: the Aper'Oyster bar turns your reception into a moment of the tide.

What is an oyster bar?

An oyster bar is a live culinary experience: a professional shucker sets up an iced counter at your venue, opens each oyster in front of your guests and serves it to the minute — lemon, mignonette, bread and salted butter. Every oyster is opened the moment it is enjoyed, at peak freshness.

The shucking itself is part of the show: guests watch, ask, taste. It is the moment they remember — at a cocktail, a wedding reception or a company party.

The Aper'Oyster service: from the beds to your table

Unlike a caterer who buys in oysters, Ostra Regal is a producer-shipper: our oysters grow on our Irish beds, are purified and dispatched by our workshops on the bay of Cancale — then served at your venue under a controlled cold chain. Direct route, traceable freshness.

You build your blend from six ranges — from the convivial La Céline to the exceedingly rare Signature —, add barbecue oysters if you wish, a caviar of your choice (Aquitaine, Baeri, Imperial Oscietra) and the drinks service (champagne, paired whites). Shucker, counter, ice and equipment are included in the package.

An instant quote, an online booking

No opaque forms, no waiting: our configurator prices your event live — guests, format, ranges, grades, options — and you book online. Enter your city: our shuckers are based in Brittany, the Basque Country and Provence, and travel around their territory, Tuesday to Saturday — Sundays too in summer around Saint-Malo, Dinard and Dinan. Outside these areas, we review each request case by case.
