Pure Spirits
The best of the upmarket eateries in the Distillery District, Pure Spirits' superb brick-lined vault fills with theatre-goers, international tourists and affluent locals enjoying plates of oysters on ice ($2 to $3 each) and delicious seafood and meat meals, like the Arctic Char – a mussel and clam bourride (soup) with toasted pine nuts, basil, vegetables and pesto tapenade ($27). Free live jazz on the patio in summer aerates the mood; reservations essential.

Chiado
Classy Chiado sits among laundromats and used-car dealerships at the not-so-classy western end of Little Italy, but it's well worth suffering the surrounds. Start with the grilled tiger shrimp with piri-piri, roasted jalapeños and banana peppers, then move on to the grilled octopus with roasted sweet-pepper salsa. Service is formal and faultless; framed oils enliven the walls.

Rodney's Oyster House
A classic underground oyster bar run by a PEI oyster boy made good, Rodney's flies in a dozen types of fresh oysters from both Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Dungeness crabs, lobsters, Fundy scallops and seafood chowders swim their way onto the long daily menu, which ends at a N'awlins-style banana flambé. Well-chosen beer and wine pairings are available.

Whalesbone Oyster House
If the local chefs are purchasing their fish from Whalesbone's wholesale wing (or should we say 'fin'), then there's really no doubt that it's the best place in town for seafood. The on-site restaurant offers up a short list of fresh faves like lobster, halibut and scallops ceviche on small plates.

Harbord Fish & Chips
This graffiti-covered, white-brick fish shack wins big smiles for its generous portions of haddock, halibut and shrimp, all freshly fried. Get yours wrapped up in newspapers, or chow down at outdoor paint-peeling picnic tables while your laundry spins at Coin-O-Rama across the street.

King's Table
A fraternal, back-slapping feeling suffuses this storefront, which we'll crown King of The Beaches' fish-and-chip shops. Cheery tables fill up fast with diners ordering hearty halibut or salmon grills and salads.
