Pearl Diver

Pearl Diver is the Adelaide East oyster bar that took the old Starfish address and made it a neighbourhood living room: 100 Adelaide Street East, rotating East and West Coast oysters, Tuesday towers, Thursday buck-a-shuck energy, wine on tap. Official pearldiver.to/reservations: Tuesday–Wednesday 4:30–10:00 p.m.; Thursday–Saturday 4:30–11:00 p.m.; Sunday 3:00–9:00 p.m.; closed Monday. Phone (416) 366-7827. First-timers: a Diver's Dozen at happy hour, then chowder or the black cod if you are staying for dinner; the seafood tower on Tuesday if you are splitting. Small room, street windows, no cathedral. Book or arrive at open — by 5:15 the dozen-count is already moving. Groups: pearldiverto@gmail.com.
