Oyster Talks Oyster Bar - Business Reviews

Oyster Talks is an oyster specialty brand from Hong Kong, founded in 2002, the head office is located in Happy Valley, where land is at a premium, on Hong Kong Island, and is famous for its top-notch oyster quality and wine culture, and enjoys a good reputation among oyster lovers. The owner of Oyster Talks, Mr. Leung Ka Chun, is a well-known chef and veteran gourmand in Hong Kong, who has travelled the world to taste oysters and has a unique insight and taste for oysters. In 2013, Oyster Talks opened its first outlet in Beijing at the Workers' Stadium, marking the birth of the city's premier oyster show.

The team of chefs at Oyster Talks Beijing are all from Oyster Talks in Hong Kong, and they have copied the operation and cooking methods of old Hong Kong restaurants. After the opening of Beijing Oyster Talks, it quickly accumulated a lot of popularity, and was praised by the media as the "pearl of workers' sports"; Celebrities and celebrities have come one after another, including Huang Bo, Li Bingbing, Su Youpeng, Tian Liang, Zhang Zilin, etc.

As the name suggests, Oyster Talks is a Western restaurant that focuses on oysters. As one of Beijing's iconic oyster restaurants, the variety, quality and freshness of its oysters are impeccable. More than 20 varieties of fresh oysters are served daily, and diners can enjoy a wide variety of oysters at the Oyster Talks bar. The restaurant's oysters come from well-known oyster producing regions such as France, West Africa, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, and the category coverage is quite high. Crates of oysters arrive fresh by air every day, and it is said that the restaurant's opener will randomly select one oyster from each box every day and scrape the skirt of the oyster to judge the freshness of the oysters. If the skirt of the oysters does not shrink, the entire box of oysters will be eliminated. Oyster Talks' strict selection criteria for oysters mean that diners don't have to worry about the word "fresh" here.

Oyster Talks is amazed at the quality of oysters. Among the oysters, French oysters are the largest, basically covering several major oyster-producing areas in France. The well-known Giraldo will not be absent, and the moon, white pearl, anti-angeline, Normandy, etc., which are popular among oyster eaters, are also impressively listed. Depending on the region of production, the taste and texture of oysters vary greatly. For example, the star oyster Giraldo, which is said to be named after the family of farmers, each oyster needs to go through 59 complicated cultivation processes, and it takes at least four years to go to market. Oyster Talks' Giraldo each has a G stamp with the Giraldo family, and the meat is soft and plump, in addition to the salty and umami taste of the seawater in the mouth, there are also a little hazelnut flavor and cucumber flavor, and the aroma is complex, known as the "Rolls-Royce" of oysters. If you are a first-time candidate for oysters, oysters with light saltiness and sweet taste will be more acceptable, such as Pacific oysters, which have soft meat, rich milky aroma, light salinity and refreshing taste; New Zealand's Gigas and Ireland's oysters, as well as France's Fontaine and Rose, are all lighter oysters with different textures and tastes. The taste of Fendi Claire is salty and then sweet in the mouth, the skirt is crisp and chewy, with a sweet and fruity flavor and a long aftertaste. The highlight is the French Belon, known as the "king of oysters", the first choice of French oysters and the most expensive of Oyster Talks' oysters. In the mouth, it has a strong mineral flavor and seaweed aroma, and it has a unique "metallic taste", so it is also called copper oyster, and it is a favorite of many oyster gourmets.

In addition to the main oysters, the restaurant also has a variety of grilled main dishes such as pasta and risotto, which are classic in recipes and tastes, and appetizers such as Joselito ham, lobster salad, pan-seared foie gras, blue-mouthed scallops, and pan-fried New Zealand scallops are also classic delicacies. Even if you don't order oysters, the oyster bar is more than capable of delivering a basic, complete finedining. Oyster Talks has a great wine list, with restaurateurs sourced from wineries around the world, and their own wine cellar with over 100 wines won't disappoint.

Oyster Talks is a small restaurant with two floors, the first floor is a bar and individual seats, and the second floor is a few private rooms. The restaurant's décor is elegant and natural, with a variety of oysters on display at the bar. If you're here for the oysters, it's also a good experience to sit at the bar and watch the oyster opener pry the oysters up close. The restaurant service is respectful and orderly, can give effective advice to diners, pour and remove the wine properly and steadily, the details are professional, and the service fee is 10%. The restrooms are also equipped with mouthwash, hand cream, cosmetics and perfumes, which shows the restaurant's attention to detail. There are few seats and a limited number of private rooms, so it is recommended to make a reservation in advance.
