A Toronto restaurant from celebrity chef Matty Matheson that made a huge splash upon opening in late 2024 appears to have already closed. Being a big name on the Toronto restaurant scene is about as sure a golden ticket to city-wide notoriety as any, but, as Matty Matheson's ill-fated Bar Clams is seemingly proving this week, it's not a promise of longevity. Wherever you stand on the great Bar Clams debate of 2025, it's time to lay any hopes of resolution to bed, as the restaurant appears to have closed down for good. At the time of publication, Bar Clams has not responded to blogTO's request for comment on the closure or whether the restaurant will be making a comeback in the future. Bar Clams was located at 802 Dundas St. W.
