Matty loves to give off ‘I’m an idiot vibe’ when we really know that in fact dude is whip smart and clever AF. It took me a long time to realise that. He is such a talented chef and deep thoughtful human being. I hope his restaurant brings him the success that he deserves 🥰
Agreed 100% he’s really a top bloke!
THIS! I had no idea Matty was this smart and talented.
You gotta be a lil crazy to be a good chef
@@lionzion86 Gotta be a little crazy to be the best or good at anything. Cant just wake up and be good but if you do, good for you lol.
Lol first time I saw his video I said “he’s the Columbo of chefs”
As a contractor who mainly builds high end restaurants, this architect knocked it out of the park. The finishes on this unit are insane

The culinary industry is a very competitive sector especially in big cities like Toronto. So seeing Matt hire someone who doesn’t design restaurants to design his restaurant to set him apart is pretty smart . The final result is 💯. Love it .
It reminds me of Coco's. No hate. I ate there a lot growing up.
@@Stierenkloot yeah, no one specializes in anything ever.
@@Stierenkloot tell me you are clueless without telling me.... I'll let you go first
IKEA must be big Toronto cause that’s what the inside of this place looks like!
@@kidmackenzie still looks incredible though.
I’m in grad school for architecture and would seriously lose my mind if someone as creative, fun, and curious as Matty were my client. He sounds like a blast to work with.
My dad was an architect before he retired and he loved it. It’s a rewarding career. As a kid, it was super cool watching him make models of buildings. You’re gonna have tons of fun.
I didnt expect such appreciation for Architecture from Matty! I used to watch him cooking with DEEP FRY OIL, WITHOUT A SHIRT! HAHAHA Then he has this magnificent restaurant. Kudos Matty!
Something I realized, people who are deeply embedded in any art form, often appreciate other art forms very much, even ones they don't have knowledge of. Knowing the depths of one, makes you respect the others.
@@salgamate13 well said 👍
hehe matty's personality paired with this sleek sophisticated space is quite the contrast
I am floored by the amount of time, care, and thoughtfulness that went into this restaurant. It was definitely worth it! I would love to dine (with friends and family) in this gem of a restaurant! 👍
But what about dining alone
@@yaboicolvin2870 that works too! 😊
@@annjohnson8437 no it doesn't lol
It's everything it looks like in the videos and more. Great vibe and great music to boot. We loved it.
I really appreciate the inclusion of Omar Gandhi into the AD video, as he obviously made many valuable contributions to the architecture of the building!! Other AD videos only have the current owner and exclude the architect, so this is really cool.
This restaurant’s aesthetic is so unlike Matty’s persona it’s hysterical.
So happy for this guy!!. He deserves all the cheers :)
Certainly 😊
Congratulations
He may look like a hillbilly stoner, but Matty is so unassuming and wicked cool. The fact that he acts silly but all his ideas in both food and architecture are sensible and filled with nostalgia.
This is one of my favorite episode yet. Matty and Omar are so proud and excited about the place. Such good vibes!!! So nice of Matty to bring the designer for the visit. I love all the inspirations for the project... And the place looks AMAZING! I'm vegan and I can't wait to eat at this Seafood and Steak place... LOL Only 7 hours aways. ;) Congrats to Matty and I'm sure the place is going to be a hit!
As a Finn, I'm so proud that you took a combination of Scandinavian and Japanese influences! If I was in Toronto and visited this restaurant, I'd feel completely home. Such an inviting place and I love Matty's attitude in the video!
His attitude is just sooooo beautiful. Makes me want to visit. He's one happy fellow and it's obviously contagious. Positive energy!
This restaurant is incredible, it’s so refined I absolutely understand why it took 6 years. The Asian and Scandinavian influences perfectly complement each other yet.. it’s clearly a freakin diner! I’m obsessed with the booth tables and madly jealous of the pots and pans. True art is balanced and the beauty of this restaurant is perfectly balanced with the beauty of the food and the beauty of the experiences people will share here. Congratulations! You’re earned every success
He had no money
If he had fundsv6 weeks max
I love how Matty sprinkles gems of the humor that made me a fan of his. "When they come down, the aliens, they'll be like - "this place is kinda tight".
exactly the kind of AD interview I’d expect from Matty. class it up a bit from his normal unbridled chaos, but absolutely a couple bits of said unbridled chaos. “when they come down, the aliens” 😂😂😂
This guy's energy is amazing haha. He seems like a nice man. Beautiful restaurant, the bathroom looks awesome, the skylight, the sink, the materials and the color palette, simply amazing.
ZELENSKY IS THE NEW PRESIDENT FOR RUSSIA IT WAS THE JUSTICE SHOULD DONE BY BRITISH.......
do subscribe to his cooking channel. i love him 😂 always funny
matty looks so happy. he's worked so damn hard and is a culinary legend. he's travelled the world and brought gems back to the city. he deserves everything and more. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
One of the most beautiful restaurants I’ve ever seen!!! Can’t wait to check it out!
Reminds me of a lighter version of bar raval
Obviously you have not been around
Pretty basic here
You can go to any major city on earth. Literally. And there would be a hundreds of these.
It's laid out like a 50's diner, but with a contemporary, minimalist design aesthetic. Beautiful.
What a beautiful clean restaurant would love to eat there
Okay
@@kathleenweinberg6442 Of course it's clean, it's not open yet lol.
Yeah it will better as it gets lived in too
Super 😊
It gives me such joy that Matty mentioned how long it took for the design and completion of this restaurant. I'm assuming Omar's office designed the base building and the interior?
Regardless, a 6 year collaboration with designers, carpenters and engineers is what it takes for good quality. Let this be a lesson to anyone pushing creatives to do quality quickly.
In 1986 I lived in the top floor apt of the building next door to this restaurant. It was 940 1/2 Queen St. W. My two roommates and I would climb out of my bedroom window to go on the roof of Matty's restaurant. We had no other private outdoor space so this was all ours. We would usually sun ourselves and drink beer or wine of course. The usual stuff 21 year olds do to be adult like. I think the building use to be a garment factory. Not sure. Was very nice to see how lovely it all is now.
So is this where the opening night dinner scene of the bear season two was filmed…. It seems like it! Love Matty! He’s seems like such a cool guy! I love watching him cook!
I discovered Matty during covid lockdown and his joyous videos kept me so entertained! Love his example of hard work and family man!
I love the amount of care involved in this project - I expect nothing less from Matty & team. Gorgeous space and I can't wait to enjoy a dinner there. Congrats!
I love Matty, I'm a huge fan.
Congratulations on another restaurant buddy! It's beautiful.
Matty i'm so blown away by this restaurant. I'm so glad you got a space like this for you and yours. keep killin it, love you man.
Matty, thank you for supporting a great architect and the trades. It’s beautiful.
Matty Matheson is a treasure, must protect him at all costs!
I love Matty so much! That place is BEAUTIFUL and it was so smart of him to hire someone to design the space, that doesn't typically design restaurants! The attention to detail, and that bathroom!!!! Amazing! I hope to go check it out someday!
This is a WAY more classy look than I expected from Matty.
I love Matty!! So incredibly happy for him and can't wait to visit the resto
I'm used to watching Matty noodling and cooking outdoors, so this was a bit of a shock! Looks absolutely stunning - great job guys. You clearly have great taste in both food and architectural design.
So classy and every detail is custom, it’s a real signature Matty, way to go !
That space is fire Matty! I'm so happy on your growing success and you deserve every bit of it!
This restaurant is "eye swooning" from exterior to interior. Omar is a wonderful architect informed by Matty's inspiration. Love the simplicity, Scandi/Japandi aesthetic that permeates this space evoking taste and calm-then there is Matty who I simply cannot take at all. He is the antithesis of everything minimalist !
That restaurant is STUNNING! So proud of you Matty!
I love Matty and I love that he has written a love letter to his family and the tradespeople that are hardworking and love the land.
Love all the details. Love how he wants to everyone who comes together to bring the plate succeed. Much success to you, Matty, and everyone involved!
Every detail is just perfection. Even the restroom was gorgeous, maybe even my favorite part. The sink is definitely an awesome touch.
Bathroom was definitely my favorite part also, and that’s saying a lot because everything about this restaurant was beautiful and intentional.
It looks so similar to the restaurant in The Bear.
Matty is a Toronto legend. Kudos on the truly beautiful resto
So impressed with what Matty and his design team pulled off here. Love the vibe, love the functionality (or the appearance of it) and the amount of care and intention placed on this. I work in the AV technology space, and I'm always blown away of projects like these that don't leverage the auditory experience elevation with this type of space. I work with some chefs here in Vegas and I absolutely love when they pay this level of attention to detail AND take into account the opportunity to elevate the experience with amazing audio, lighting and video if applicable.
This gives off a homey but elevated and sophisticated take to a restaurant- I can picture how it would really come alive full of costumers sharing conversation surrounded by rich food aromas.
Working as a server for the past 10 years I can see how this would be really hard to keep pristine (those sheep skin seat covers 😬) still super sick. Keep on keeping on Matty 🤟🏻
I SO want to dine here! Thanks for sharing how your vision all came together. Gotta go plan my Toronto trip now :)
What a beautiful introspective matty. The thoughtful use of materials make me so excited for you. All the cheers!!!
Absolutely love this! Love seeing Matty and the architect, can't get better
Wow matty I'm so fucjing proud of you and the crew I can't wait to come feast!!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🙏🏼🙏🏼
Beyond impressed. Matty the design is impeccable. I could tell a lot of thought went into every detail. Happy for you bud
This is great Matty! I'm happy for everyone involved on this project! Cheers from Brazil!
Matty, I’m a big fan of yours, I believe you have broken the stereotypes of what a cook show should be like, and once again you’ve hit the nail on the head by contracting this very talented architect....I’ll definitely look into his work...his taste is exquisite😍 I am an architect myself, and have a couple of projects going on. So if everything goes as planned I will take a small vacation to travel to Nova Scotia and personally congratulate you on your new endeavor! Sending lots of love from the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴
Beautiful, beautiful work OG. Always amazing synergy between designer and client! I'm most curious about how the design conceals the mechanical and sprinklers of this space? It's details like that, that are able to make the space so elegant
Matty, I am so proud of you! This restaurant is excellent. You may be funny, unconventional and eclectic - but you are the best at what you do. I look forward to eating at your restaurant someday! I hope I get to meet you too.
My man Matty! Glad to see this restaurant opening and glad to see AD recognize this beautiful space
One of the best tours ever...passion so evident.
Yes yes yes we need more commercial spaces and especially restaurants!
Yes! I love this, and would love to see more Canadian spaces!!
So happy n proud for Mattyyy. Thanks Matty, Omar and team
Great looking space team. Happy for you Matty. You deserve good things.
That's a gorgeous place. Living in Ottawa, I don't get to Toronto as often as I'd like, but I will definitely be suggesting Prime Seafood Palace to friends in TO.
Can't imagine how expensive building this during COVID was, and with such limited seating. Really feels like a legacy project for Matty.
I’m obsessed with every detail🤎
So happy and proud of you Matty! This is so inspiring 😊💖
Matt's energy is positive and contagious. A very happy fellow. Would be a pleasure to visit.
Now, this is a beautiful restaurant!
Saw this video after the bear s2. Shocked that Fak is a chef and its his restaurant in s2
So lovely to see Matty actually honed in and calm you can really tell how much love he has put in shame I’m like 3k miles away lol
I absolutely loved this. So aesthetic, minimal yet beautiful
Love the relationship between Omar and Matty- what a beautiful restaurant. Can't wait to check it out when I get to Toronto!
The way this looks extremely similar to the bear
This is such a beautiful personal and meaningful space. Congrats Matty & Omar.
i've always been disappointed when I check the location of these places but the fact that this is 20 mins away makes me so happy. 100% checking it out
That is the most beautiful and inviting restaurant I have ever seen. Amazing Matty!
HUGE shoutout to Matty for getting Omar to design this gorgeous space. Gotta love a guy who gets local people/businesses involved. BIG Nova Scotia vibes
let's get Pat Stay to do the reservation line voice mail.
Were parts of season 2 filmed here?
OMFG. Way to go Matty. Absolutely stunning. Congratulations to all involved.
This man is a whole vibe. Love it 💕 many blessings to you
I would eat at this restaurant because of him, he's like a movie character that you want to meet in real life and be his friend☺️
Trying to get a reservation... it's booked up 5-6 weeks out.
Absolutely breathtaking! 180degrees what I thought you restaurant would look like. I am soooo happy you will celebrate vegetables too. Bravo to all the tradespeople , this is a destination life event kind of place. I would be honored to wait as long as any top Restaruant in the world 👏🏽🙌🏼👏🏽
Omar describes everything so beautifully. What a dream of a restaurant 😍
finally passed the fire suppression test
looks like the same space as the bear lol
So proud of Matty! Keep it up big fella, can’t wait to visit this place!
Always great to see a good guy winning. Way to go Matty.
It’s pretentious but the bathroom at fine dining restaurants actually makes a difference. You’re often there for 2-3 hours and will definitely use the bathroom so it needs design elements too! Matty and his designer did an excellent job on this place.
The nicest bathroom I've ever seen was inside a fine dining restaurant. Chef's kisses 10/10 detail
Looks so awesome. Love the Minimal Japanese-Scandinavian-Maritime styling. Very calm and cozy.
such a stunning place. I'm so happy for Matty and I hope to one day visit!
Am I crazy or does his restaurant look a lot like the final look of the Bear's season 2 restaurant?
Yes!!!!
Never trust a bald barber or a skinny chef... so this guy's food must be incredible.
WOW! Looks like an amazing place! All the best to you Matty, you deserve success and happiness mate, you are an absolute legend 🤟👍
I met him once and lost the admiration I once had, but even still, I have to admit this restaurant looks incredible. That skylight is art.
Is this where they shot The bear season 2 or am I tripping?
AD please return here in one year. I feel like this is the sort of place that looks beautiful until you put the public through it for a couple of months and the leather is stained and the brass all has fingerprints all over it. I'm very interested to know how this place is going to age in 3, 6, 12, 24 months.
It's sure to look a little worn but Math will have it done up I am certain 😊
It's not that kind of restaurant, partner. 🙄
Absolutely love Matty. Such an amazing soul.
Wow this crazy 🤯 I absolutely need to go there. The precision and thoughtfulness of the design is stunning 🤩
Looks slightly similar to the Bear
Nobody becomes a millionaire or billionaire by working for others and depending on them, good Investment breed millions of dollars and consistency breed billions
You are absolutely right about that Investment are the stepping stones to success
His success stories are everywhere 😱
@VIvian Lindley I got Mr Logan Willie info how good is he ?
If you've started trading with this man then you're not far from making profits
First started small but with the outcome I got. I decide to put more and it's been amazing
gorgous, looks cozy and memorable...really sets apart itself from other restaurant as is intended. love it!!
Beautiful design 👌 Everything was make to perfection!!! Clean and and so welcoming 😍❤️ and so enjoyable
