Morrison’s passion for oysters is matched only by that of their guests, with a minimum of 6,000 oysters freshly shucked to order each week. Famed as the oyster destination in town, Morrison’s present guests with the finest oysters, providing a daily selection of at least four distinctive oyster varieties.
Morrison’s list regularly features Moonlight Flat (Claire de Lune), East 33 Sydney Rock, Appellation Oysters and Coffin Bay Pacific Oysters all sourced through well-established, direct relationships with the farmers. Each of these premium varieties are now elegantly displayed in a newly unveiled brass oyster cabinet bringing theatre, sophisticated charm and timeless oyster bar appeal.
The Sydney Rock Oyster’s time as a contemporary luxury food, valued for its flavour, provenance and authenticity, couldn’t be more evident that the sheer number sold during Morrison’s much-loved and hard to beat, Oyster Hour. Every Wednesday from 6pm-7pm, Morrison’s freshly shuck to order a staggering 3000 Sydney Rock Oysters for $1.50 each.
As one of the world’s most renowned culinary delights of the sea the Sydney Rock Oyster is globally celebrated as one of the finest and rarest varieties, making up less than 1% of the world’s oyster supply, and Morrison’s proudly showcase this prized oyster in their offering.
Much like wine has its ‘terroir,’ oysters have ‘merroir’— their flavour, characterised by deep, rich and lasting sweetness, is shaped by the environment, capturing the essence of the New South Wales coastline.
So, whether you like your oysters in their purest form au natural with a crisp Semillon, or with a squeeze of lemon and a glass of Champagne, a classic mignonette with a dry Chenin Blanc, or a smokey Pacific Oyster Kilpatrick with an icy cold beer, the choice is yours at Morrison’s. Or, if you’re feeling a little more bougie, lash out and order a dozen with Sturgeon caviar.
Morrison’s have earned their place as ‘the’ place for oysters in the CBD where you can watch their chefs freshly shuck the best oysters in Sydney every day. Arguably one of the mostvibrant and buzzing places to sup oysters in the city, Morrison’s is open 11:30am until late.
