Pearl Bayview

What is Pearl Bayview? Located at 291 York Mills Road near the intersection with Bayview Avenue, Pearl Bayview is the uptown outpost of the long-running Pearl Harbourfront restaurant group. The room trades waterfront views for a sleek, serene aesthetic detailed with clean white and blue accents, crisp frosted glass, and spacious round banquet tables equipped for multigenerational family meals.

Pearl Bayview Menu & What to Order Dim sum is served all day, anchored by benchmark standards like translucent Har Gow, pork-and-mushroom Siu Mai, and the house signature pan-fried shrimp and green onion pancakes—affectionately nicknamed hockey pucks. Baked BBQ pork buns with glistening tops and slippery BBQ pork cheung foon in sweet soy sauce are reliable crowd-pleasers. For evening banquets, shareable orders of two-course Peking duck, stuffed fried eggplant, and chicken fried rice with salted fish make for a satisfying feast alongside endless pots of hot jasmine tea.

Know Before You Go Operating on a split shift from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily, the kitchen closes the dining room for an hour in the late afternoon, so time your visit accordingly. Plentiful free plaza parking makes this location far easier to access than its Queens Quay sister, but reservations by phone are strongly recommended for peak weekend yum cha hours.
