Oyster Shack Café

Highlight • Restaurant

Super nice little outdoor coffee hut that also does a variety of really nice looking seafood dishes like mussels, oysters, crab and lobster. Coffee and cakes were good, didn't eat on this occasion but will definitely try it out in the future, and add my thoughts here when I do.

Dog friendly (they do doggy icecream which I assume is ice cream for dogs).
