Richmond Oysters | Oakleigh

The Verdict

Melbourne institution Richmond Oysters has arrived in Oakleigh and local seafood lovers are hooked! (See what we did there?!) These ocean-to-plate experts have been shucking oysters way before you were born, and boy, do they know a thing or two about our favourite aphrodisiac friends. Sometimes we forget to appreciate how beautiful our own Australian produce can be and Richmond Oysters do a damn fine job of reminding us how lucky we are.

Featuring a live oyster holding tank, the Oakleigh restaurant sources the same fresh, premium and sustainable produce as the bustling Richmond store. The oyster shots are a great option to kick start your seafood dinner with the choice of Bloody Mary or Japanese (sake, mirin, wasabi and ginger).

The main event is a hit too: An epic variety of share platters, perfect for any occasion, are guaranteed to satisfy all your seafood cravings. The platinum platter includes natural oysters, moreton bay bugs, soft shell crab, wild South Australian king prawns, the all mighty mornay lobster and much, much more. It's a sure fire crowd pleaser and must-order for any special event or birthday. Just be sure to share because you don't want to appear shellfish (...last one, we promise).
