Indarsena Oyster Bar
About
Indarsena Oyster Bar, nestled beside the Museo del Mare e Sommergibile on Genoa’s bustling Old Port, is the sole authentic French‑style oyster bar on the Italian Riviera. Every week it brings a hand‑picked selection of 7–8 fresh oyster varieties shipped straight from France, alongside premium shellfish such as the prized Alaska King Crab. Guests can savor classic French preparations—from steamed shellfish served cold with tangy dips and crisp oyster platters to delicate fish carpaccio and a fragrant soupe de poisson—complemented by a curated menu of French cheeses, artisanal pastries from the city’s finest bakeries, and an extensive selection of wines and spirits. Beyond the culinary delights, the restaurant’s waterfront location offers a relaxed, chic ambience perfect for families, couples, and solo diners alike. The table‑service layout, coupled with complimentary Wi‑Fi and a dog‑friendly patio, makes Indarsena an ideal spot for brunch, dinner, or a lively evening by the harbor. Its hours run from 19:00 to 23:00, closed only on Mondays and Tuesdays, and reservations can be made conveniently by phone or WhatsApp at +39 347 713 9020.
