Rodney’s Oyster House Toronto

Canada’s original Oyster House – est 1987

The Ocean to You

What’s new at the House of Shells?

We’re now open 7 DAYS A WEEK!

From Monday June 5th, we will be serving Every Day, from 12 noon onwards. That means you can get your Ocean fix any time you need to.

We’ve also started taking reservations outside, in our Oyster Garden.

So you could join us on a Monday, that’s not a stat holiday, for Oysters and drinks on the patio. What a treat! We’ll have some great and exclusive offerings to reward the Monday visitors – those will be starting in July. Oyster Education, cheap eats, discounted wines – stay tuned for the offerings we’ll be putting out.

THE ONTARIO OYSTER FESTIVAL RETURNS!

For the first time in 4 years, we’re going Back to the Alley! We’re once again raising funds for the Ecology Action Centre in support of their efforts to preserve shoreline and coastal habitat, and we’re doing it at home.

The Date – Sunday July 16, 2023 The Time – 1pm door

The Place – The Laneway beside the Oyster House

The best Oyster Shuckers in the country compete for glory and your adoration. Live music to set the mood. And of course, Oysters for days.

Your entry, as always, comes with two drink and one food tickets. After that, drinks are (still!) $5 each, as are Oysters. Other food ranges from $5 – $30 for a lobster. You can buy extra food and drink tickets in advance or on site.

Catering

Catering, like oysters, is in our blood.

Long before Rodney “The Oysterman” opened his first restaurant, he brought the magic of the mollusk to Upper Canadians in their homes and at their events.

The Return

Wow. We’ve had a year to get ready for this, I suppose, but of course it all feels super last minute and extremely rushed getting this beast back into ‘full service’ mode. What can we say? The last 14 months has been a challenge to be sure. We are so grateful to everyone that supported…
