If you’re craving oysters, why not make it an economical outing and take advantage of all the buck-a-shuck deals that Toronto has to offer? Whether you enjoy them plain or dressed up, with wine or champagne, or even paired with beer, there’s a deal going on every day of the week. Clearly, the only thing the city loves more than a half priced bottle, is oysters that only cost $1.
Take a look at 10 of the best places to get buck-a-shuck in Toronto below.
Locals Only
589 King St W
When: Everyday
You don’t have to be a local to enjoy this sweet deal! Locals Only on King West is serving up buck-a-shuck oysters everyday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Even if you don’t live in the neighbourhood, you’re going to want to go the distance especially since the restaurant will be doling out half-priced bottles of wine and prosecco within the same time frame. Nothing pairs better with oysters than some bubbly.
Boehmer
93 Ossington Ave
When: Tuesdays
Boehmer is a hip spot on Ossington is usually full on Tuesday nights, and for good reason. Not only does the restaurant have buck-a-shuck going on all night long, but there’s also $22 lobster and half-priced bottles of wine. Don’t stop at the $1 oysters; have a whole seafood feast! Just be sure to make reservations since this deal is always super hot.
Luma
350 King St. W., 2nd Floor
When: Tuesdays and Fridays
Luma, the upscale seafood restaurant inside the TIFF Bell Lightbox, is a great place for buck-a-shuck if you’re in the mood for some vino too. Starting at 4 p.m. onwards, get $1 oysters with the purchase of a bottle of wine. However, don’t wait too long as this deal only goes until supplies last which means happy hour is the perfect time to sip on a glass and slurp some oysters back.
Bar Hop
Multiple Locations
When: Tuesdays and Sundays
Why not switch it up the next time you have oysters and pair your ocean fare with some craft beer? Along with lots of beer, Bar Hop has buck-a-shuck deals going on at all three locations: Tuesdays at King West and Bar Hop Session locations, and Sundays at Bar Hop Brew Co.
La Societe
131 Bloor St W
When: Thursdays
The only thing better than exquisite French food, is $1 oysters! Lucky for you, you can find both at La Societe on Thursdays during happy hour from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. But the deals don’t end there because in true French fashion, the bistro-style restaurant compliments oysters with select half-price bottles of champagne.
Batch
75 Victoria St
When: Wednesdays
This sleek outpost is in the business of brewing small-batch beer and blessing us with $1 oysters every Wednesday. Located in the heart of the city, Batch is the perfect place to gather with friends or work colleagues while you sip on a $5 Lot 9 Pilsner. We suggest making it a Wednesday night tradition.
Nome Izakaya
4848 Yonge St
When: Tuesdays and Wednesdays
If you love Japanese tapas or sashimi, Nome Izakaya is definitely worth a visit. The restaurant and lounge has amazing seafood and boasts one of the best oyster bars in the city. Be sure to plan your outing on either Tuesday or Wednesday to make the most of the buck-a-shuck deal.
Ufficio
1214 Dundas St W
When: Tuesdays and Wednesdays
Ufficio is about to be your favourite spot on Dundas West if it’s a Tuesday or Wednesday night. Get up to 24 oysters per person for $1 all night long, and be ready to feast. The rest of the menu is equally as enticing as the buck-a-shuck deal with pastas, insalate, more seafood, and delicious charcuterie.
The Hole in the Wall
2867A Dundas St W
When: Tuesdays
The Hole in the Wall might be one of the coziest restaurants in Toronto to grab some oysters. Better yet, make sure to go there on a Tuesday to take advantage of the buck-a-shuck deal from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. You won’t regret it as there’s also a nice selection of craft beers to wash all that oyster deliciousness down.
Montecito
299 Adelaide St W
When: Thursdays
While Montecito’s Wine Wednesdays is a definite treat, the restaurant’s Thursday deal is just as popular. Starting at 5 p.m. upstairs in By The Glass, oysters are only $1 with any purchase of a bottle of wine. Unlike other wine bars, the sophisticated spot also promises to have a set markup of $30 on every bottle of wine. Looks like oysters aren’t the only deal here.
