As any Sydney seafood aficionado should know by now, The Morrison has a constant focus on the not-so-humble oyster. But in August, when the month-long Oyster Festival takes over, that focus turns into an overwhelming obsession.
From Thursday, August 1 through to Saturday, August 31, the Sydney bar will become a shucking shrine to the freshest oysters around. And one of the major drawcards is Oyster Hour. Between 6pm and 7pm every single day, you'll be able to eat as many oysters as you can handle at just $1.50 a pop. This deal is available for walk-ins only, so we suggest getting there a little early.
Throughout the month, Head Chef Sean Connolly will be conjuring up his favourite oyster dishes, from fried oyster sliders, oysters with slow-cooked pork belly (also known as pearls and pig), oyster carbonara, oyster and leak chowder served with duck fat fries and oyster-stuffed steak.
Plus, there'll be oysters paired with bottomless bevs on weekends during the month. Rock up on Saturday and Sunday and you can down a dozen oysters with two hours of bottomless bubbles for just $55 a head. Bookings are recommended for this.
