Pearl Diver

Pearl Diver is a seafood restaurant in Toronto Centre that focuses on oysters and fresh fish prepared simply. The space features wooden booth seating, a raw bar with cold preparations, cooked dishes like fish and chips and burgers, plus a private dining room called The Pantry that holds 12 to 18 people.

This location was formerly a restaurant called Starfish before being renovated and reopened as Pearl Diver with a more casual concept. The renovation kept some original features like the shell-covered bar to maintain connection with longtime customers.

The name Pearl Diver draws from the tradition of diving for pearls, connecting the restaurant to ocean heritage. The decor with shells and nautical details creates a seaside character that reflects how locals gather here to share meals and conversation over fresh catch.

The restaurant is open Tuesday through Saturday evenings, with earlier hours on Sunday, and accepts online takeout orders for delivery or pickup. Reservations are recommended for dining tables during busy times, and larger groups should contact the restaurant by email to arrange group dining or buyout options.

Many visitors overlook the private room called The Pantry, decorated with cookbooks, a record player, and vinyl records, with a window overlooking the kitchen. In summer, this space also serves as a staging area for prepared picnic baskets ready to take away.
