This stall at the Jean-Talon Market is about as close to the source as it gets when it comes to fresh oysters. Offering dollar oysters from 10am to 5:30pm on Tuesday, there’s only one catch; you have to buy by the dozen. Thankfully $12 is a small price to pay for some of the freshest oysters in town.

Having made its name as a dessert restaurant, oysters aren’t necessarily what one would expect from a place like Ratafia. That said, a small selection of savoury items features on the menu, one of which is $1 oysters on Thursdays from 4 to 8 p.m. 

Brasserie Bernard is an Outremont mainstay, and buck-a-shuck oysters makes this spot even more likeable. Get them on Mondays alongside other French bistro dishes like beef tartare and steak frites.

Seafood is the name of the game at Belon, so it comes as no surprise that it has multiple oyster specials. Tuesdays are buck-a-shuck night, while Thursdays will get you two glasses of bubbles and a dozen oysters for only $30.

This Old Montreal brasserie is known for events like its signature boozy brunches, and happy hour specials. Dollar oysters are on offer Sunday through Thursday during its 5 à 7, with $30 sangria pitchers to wash it all down. 

Tucked inside the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth hotel, this chic spot offers $1 oysters in a more upscale environment on Wednesdays from 5 to 8 p.m. Even better is that the hotel’s Marché Artisans offers a similar special on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 to 7 p.m.

This downtown supper club brings budget-friendly oysters to the menu every Thursday, offering them for $1 all night.

For those who like to enjoy a cocktail or two while slurping back bivalves, Le Speakeasy on McGill can be found tucked behind Freeze Brothers ice cream. It offers $1 oysters Monday through Wednesday from 5 p.m. until the kitchen closes at 11 p.m.

Point St. Charles’ Knox Taverne offers oysters every night of the week, but on Thursdays from 5 to 8 p.m., they are only $1. They’re best enjoyed with a glass of natural wine, of course.

If the name wasn’t already a giveaway, oysters reign supreme at Lucille’s Oyster Dive. Offering $1 oysters at all times, every day, there’s no bad time to slurp a few back. Expect to enjoy small, briny oysters from PEI, like Avonlea’s.
