For seafood / oyster lovers!
Perfect for a snack date! We visit this place when we're up for a chic seafood snack (Portions are small yet delicious!).
The wide variety of oysters they have to offer is very interesting and tasty! And honestly the price isn't bad for the service you get their.
The indoor is well decorated and usually calm with some light lounge music and the staff is very nice. We were in a great mood in here! And the outdoors would be fantastic for smokers or during the good weather. Since it's on the happening part of St-Laurent street.
They also have a wall of oysters signed by famous people from around the globe!

The town's best spot for American food during the summer! Roy street is famous for its beautiful Terraces during the summer. Icehouse offers a small yet beautiful space of its own. We recommend the Ribs, lobster rolls, fried chicken and last but not least the famous Bourbon Lemonade! It's very small so you might have to wait a little...but it will be worth it!
