Pearl Harbourfront: Toronto's Ultimate Dim Sum

 



Overlooking Lake Ontario with fabulous views of the islands, there's no better way to enjoy delicious handmade dim sum and endless pots of Jasmin tea than at Pearl Harbourfront, where they serve, without a doubt, the best dim sum in the city. Tucked away on the second floor of Queens Quay Terminal, the light filled 6,000-square foot interior of blonde woods, cream-hued walls and floor-to-ceiling windows provide a simple yet sophisticated backdrop for enjoying steaming baskets of Har Kow, while admiring spectacular harbour views and Porter's symphony of flights coming and going from the Island Airport.

For those devotées who come to Pearl Harbourfront expressly for their delectable dim sum, the parade of bite-size dishes are temptation enough. Prices range from $3.75 for a bamboo basket of Steamed Beef Dumplings, Crispy Spring Rolls or Steamed Chicken Feet; $5.50 for medium dishes such as Steamed Spinach Dumpling, Scallop Dumpling or Crispy Spring Rolls; $6.00 for large dishes including Har Kau, Shrimp Cheung Foon and Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf; to $7.50 for special plates which include Deep Fried Stuffed Crab Claw or Fried Beef Short Ribs with Honey Black Pepper Sauce. The best way to sample as many dim sum as possible, is to bring a group of friends and order to your tummy's content.
