Airy, modern stand with fresh oysters, wine & bar seating

























"Set amid the crowds and commotion of Grand Central Market, The Oyster Gourmet is a vaguely steampunk-y wooden stand designed to look like a giant open oyster shell. The selection of oysters constantly changes, and the shuckers are super knowledgeable. Even if you don’t know the difference between a Blue Point and a Wellfleet, they’re always happy to help you figure out what you’ll like." - sylvio martins, nikko duren

"An existing seafood stall within the market that will face fresh competition from the incoming Malibu seafood group; as one of the market’s seafood tenants, it may see rival offerings such as lobster rolls with uni and caviar, seafood towers, and burgers vying for the same customer base." - Mona Holmes

"French-born chef Christophe Happillon has become known as L.A.'s oyster sommelier through his oyster pop-ups at high-end restaurants and hotels. In 2014, he brought The Oyster Gourmet to Grand Central Market in the form of a tiny stall with wood-canvas wings that open and close not entirely unlike...yes, an oyster. Like the space, the menu is small but satisfying—oysters, of course, and also a selection of clams, shrimp, and some raw fish, along with wine and beer. In addition to his space at Grand Central Market, Happillon still does seafood catering, and brings oyster pop up bars to events and parties in Los Angeles."
