At Bonnie’s, oysters are more than just a dish on the menu; they are an experience, a craft, and a tradition that is meticulously cared for. Here, oysters are served in a way that honors their natural flavors and textures. Classic oysters are often served raw, placed on a bed of crushed ice to preserve their freshness and enhance their subtle, marine flavors. The icy presentation not only provides a visually appealing experience but also helps keep the oysters at the perfect temperature, which is crucial for maintaining their quality and taste.
To further enhance the oysters’ natural flavors, they are typically served with a traditional dressing called mignonette. This simple yet exquisite combination of finely chopped shallots and red wine vinegar adds a subtle acidity and sharpness, elegantly balancing the oysters’ natural salinity and highlighting their delicate flavor profile. Mignonette is a classic that has stood the test of time, and at Bonnie’s, it is served with precision and care.
