Walk-in BC oysters shucked to order on Blanshard Street, with all-day Sunday happy hour and a 4.8 you can actually trust.
Blanshard Street, Downtown
More infoShuck Taylor's is Victoria's most spontaneous date: no reservations, doors open till 10, and BC oysters shucked to order right in front of you. Jess Taylor decked the Blanshard Street room out like a seashore hideaway, so it all feels like a happy accident. Happy hour runs all day Sunday, which is the universe being unusually clear. Order the tower and let the shells pile up.
No reservations here, just walk in, which makes it a great spontaneous move. Grab seats at the bar, order a tower of BC oysters shucked to order right in front of you, and add moules frites or a lobster roll; for a flourish, split a little caviar service. Budget about an hour and a half, and time it for happy hour (Mon-Sat 2-5, all day Sunday) if you can. Don't miss watching the shucking up close. You're dead-centre downtown for a wander after.
