About Richmond Oysters

A Church Street staple for pristine Australian catches, Richmond Oysters pairs an energetic dining room with a bustling retail fishmonger counter. Patrons head in for heaping platters loaded with Moreton Bay bugs, pickled octopus, and pan-seared Patagonian toothfish—or drop by on a Tuesday for lunch specials and freshly shucked Sydney rocks. Tables easily handle family milestones without white-tablecloth pretension, while the kitchen customises whole snappers with garlic butter and shucks oysters on demand right off the ice.

  • Accessible family dining: Step-free street entry, roomy accessible facilities, and colouring sheets for toddlers ensure milestone seafood meals welcome every generation.
  • Integrated retail counter: Select whole catches from the front display for dinner on-site or wrap raw fillets and shucked bivalves to cook at home.
  • Mobile oyster station: Offsite wedding receptions and private parties can book staffed shucking stations that deliver raw oysters straight to guests.

  • Accessible Multi-Generational Venue

    Step-free flat entrance access, spacious facilities, and table activities make refined seafood dining accessible across all generations.

    It's the kind of place that won't turn its nose up at kids or the mobility impaired, which I am- the disabled bathroom was roomy and great, and a flat entry to the restaurant.

    We had the seafood platter and it was so good. It said it was for two people, but it can feed 3-4 people.

Before you head over

Practical advice on parking, family accommodations, and menu portions for your visit.

  • Plan Ahead for Church Street Parking

    Street parking along Church Street can be challenging, so allow extra transit time or consider arriving via public transport.

  • Dietary and Family Dining Support

    The venue accommodates strict dietary restrictions—including salt-free dining—and offers coloring sheets for toddlers to keep young children occupied.

  • Portion Sizing for Seafood Platters

    Seafood platters listed for two are remarkably substantial and can comfortably feed three to four diners, so calibrate your order size accordingly.
