A Broiled Oyster With GP & Hazelnut Pesto At “Shelter”

Portrait

Any visit to Tofino should include one of these beauties: a broiled beach oyster with hazelnut pesto and grana padano Parmesan cheese (accompanying garlic toast not in frame). It tasted cleanly of the sea, but with a hot and nutty, salty, multi-textural chaser of indulgent deliciousness that made us want another as soon as it was gone.

$4.50 | Shelter | 601 Campbell Street | Tofino, BC | 250-725-3353 | www.shelterrestaurant.com
