Oysteria is a seafood restaurant and bar in Canary Wharf, bringing Mediterranean-inspired cooking to a premium waterfront setting overlooking the docks. Run by the Topkaya family, the restaurant combines fresh seafood, relaxed hospitality and waterside views, making it a popular choice for everything from business lunches and date nights to larger celebrations with friends, family and colleagues.
The Oysteria menu draws heavily on Mediterranean coastal cooking, with seafood firmly at the centre of the offering. Starters include grilled octopus, pan-fried tiger prawns, calamari and burrata served with tomato and avocado, before moving into seafood-focused pasta and risotto dishes such as crab linguine and fruit de mer gnocchi. Signature dishes include the lobster linguine, featuring whole fresh lobster served with pasta cooked in a rich lobster bisque, alongside black risotto alla pescatora and traditional fish and chips.
A dedicated seafood section highlights the restaurant’s premium fish offering, ranging from pistachio-crusted tuna steak served with soy dressing to Dover sole, monkfish and sea bass. For groups, the Oysteria house platter stands out as a generous seafood feast featuring whole lobster, sea bass fillet, salmon, tiger prawns, squid, mussels and octopus. The menu also includes salads, burgers and ribeye steak. Lunch offers a slightly pared-back version of the menu, with oysters to start and pasta, burgers and fish and chips as mains.
There is also a separate bar food selection featuring lighter dishes such as chicken strips and truffle arancini for those stopping in for drinks and nibbles. Drinks range from wines, champagnes, beers and spirits to cocktails and soft drinks. Oysteria itself feels bright, contemporary and airy, with large windows running along one side of the dining room and filling the space with natural light. Simple wooden tables and understated decor keep the focus on the waterfront setting and the vibrant food offering.
