The restaurant, Nicey’s Eatery, is now looking for the mystery man.

A man has been captured on a security camera, falling to his knees in despair as he realises his favourite restaurant in Scarborough, Toronto, is closed after he battled through a blizzard to get there.

In the CCTV footage, you can see the poor man arriving at Nicey’s Eatery, a Caribbean-themed restaurant, and dropping to his knees in the snow after realising it is not open.

The restaurant is now on the hunt for the man, who they have nicknamed ‘Nicey’s most wanted’ after their footage showed him wading through knee-high snow towards the front door.

Suddenly, it dawns on him that the restaurant is closed, and he drops to his knees and raises his left hand to his head in clear heartbreak.

He stays there for a few seconds before admitting defeat and wading away.

Nicey’s Eatery obviously felt sorry for the man and posted the video to their Instagram page and offered the customer a free meal in compensation.

They wrote: “To our loyal customer, we don’t know who you are, but we will be looking out for you.

“We are terribly sorry the restaurant was closed. We feel your disappointment and hope to see you soon.

“Whatever you had on your mind to purchase today, that meal is on us.”

The video has racked up over 65,000 views and hundreds of comments from users showing their sympathy for the mystery man.

One person commented: “This is next level disappointment. This goes to show how incredible the food and service is though.”

Another wrote: “I can see his soul crumbling.”

Many people also pointed out if this restaurant’s food was good enough for someone to trek through a blizzard for, then it must be worth trying.

The restaurant has also created a ‘most wanted’ poster to hunt down the man, which reads: “'Where are you Mystery man? You are our angel in disguise who has brought unexpected publicity to our restaurant. Who are you? It's been a week now, will you be coming to our doorsteps today? We are waiting and really want to meet.

“The man has been described as 'wearing a grey jacket with dark trim, a mask, black joggers with white stripes and in search of soul food”.

We hope he is eventually found and gets the free meal he deserves.
