Oysteria

You're walking into somewhere that actually gets oysters right—no faffing about with pretentious nonsense. The raw bar is the star, where you can watch them shuck while you sip something crisp, and the menu reads like someone actually knows their fish. It's Canary Wharf, so yes, there's a postcode premium, but this place doesn't lean into the corporate sterility of the area. Instead, it's got genuine energy: locals perched at the counter, deals being discussed over platters of fruits de mer, and staff who actually know what they're talking about rather than just reciting descriptions.
