Chef Matty Matheson has achieved somewhat of a cult-favorite culinary personality status in Toronto with his various delicious ventures—from being the executive chef of Parts & Labour and the mastermind behind Matty's Patty's to regularly appearing on Vice's famous show 'Munchies.' Now, Chef Matty Matheson has something new in store for his fans and the venture is based in Toronto. Recently, he collaborated with Canadian studio Omar Gandhi Architect (OGA) on the stylish interior for a new culinary venue—Prime Seafood Palace, which is located on West Queen West.
The establishment is located in a "non-descript brick building" while the interiors are adorned with wood. The architectural studio equates its work to a "light-filled wood cathedral" and through this design, it wanted to bring about a "timeless space, free of trends."
