Blu Oyster Co — Restaurant in Melbourne

My mood is soooo down and sleepy when I hopped into this place because of cold weather, yet, this place brought back my energy and smile onto my face and tummy!! Haha. 😛 we actually accidentally landed into this yummy place because the traffic going back in CBD is crazy and I am hungry haha. I couldn’t say anything more but to rate this amazing place and Overall, 10/10!!!!!! I love seafood especially OYSTERS and had it before in other places yet this unexpected discovery is really worth being landed into! Their oysters are sooooo fresh! 😍😍😍😍😍 worth the price!!! And very comfortable place including the toilet. Cleanliness and comfort is 10/10. Definitely recommended for all tourists visiting Melbourne for oyster 🦪!

Most recommended is the VINAIGRETTE OYSTERS with lemon 🍋 REALLY A MOUTHWATERING TASTE! Very very very yum! Their mussels with chardonay sauce is new for me but it catches my heart and taste buds!!! I actually finish them all that fast with the bread! Hahahhaa 😇🥰 Plus, their garlic bread. 🥖 oh soooooo yummmmmmm!!! I am not really a fan of garlic bread but here, I ate 4pcs in 2 orders. Haha. Happy tummy, happy mood indeed.

Staffs are very friendly and very warm 🥰🥰 💯. They deserve more than 5 ⭐️ rating!!

My friendly neighbourhood oyster bar, BLU OYSTERS CO. 😍😍😍🥰

(Forgive the garlic bread photos. It’s supposed to be 4pcs but yeah, my mouth is faster than my hands to take the...

We went on a Saturday at 3pm (so in between lunch and dinner). It was wonderfully quiet (we still made a booking anyway), so easy to find parking and we had excellent service.

We got two cocktails, the bloody Mary and the Blu oyster spritz. Both were fantastic. The spritz was very refreshing, perfect for a warm afternoon and washed the seafood down beautifully. The spritz recipe is actually made by the owner.

We got garlic bread. The garlic butter is made by the owner as well. It was very yummy. The bread was also cut just the right amount of thick for us, so the garlic butter wasn't overwhelmed with bread. There was sea salt on top as well.

We also got the Morton bay platter. We recommend eating the oysters with the red wine vinaigrette. You don't need a lot. They make the red wine vinaigrette (and the thousand island sauce) in house as well. It paired really nicely. They had tabasco and lemon too, but once we had it with the red wine vinaigrette, we didn't need those anymore. The prawns were very fresh and fleshy, and perfect with the thousand island sauce. The Morton bay bugs had a special sauce on top and that was also fresh and delicious.

Service was excellent, but St Kilda parking means we'll probably only try and eat there when...

There must me something in the air in Melbourne because I’ve been having very strange & rude experiences lately.

Went here yesterday and kindly asked if my partner could sit with me at the table with food from next door. The guy said no and I totally understood why - which is why I asked in the first place. He continued to go on and on about why he’s saying no even though I kindly accepted his decision and he even made a comment about this issue being a ‘generational’ thing. Sorry but most people from any generation would not even ask in the first place. If anything it’s a generational thing that he had to be so patronising and rude to me about it.

No one should feel ashamed for asking such a question. I was being polite and was responded to in an awful way.

This experience kind of shook me. Don’t like being spoken to like that. I was a regular, coming here weekly and even boasted about the oysters here to friends and family. I’ll sadly be taking my...
