About Mati

Mati Crudo + Charcoal brings modern Mediterranean cuisine to Ottawa's Little Italy, offering an elegant dining experience on Preston Street. The restaurant specializes in refined crudo dishes and expertly charcoal-grilled steaks, with their signature seafood towers serving as show-stopping centerpieces.

Drawing inspiration from the rich heritage of Mediterranean cuisine, Mati combines traditional flavors with contemporary techniques. The restaurant's name reflects its dual focus: fresh raw preparations (crudo) and bold charcoal-grilled dishes.
