As the weather heats up, the Canvas deck is the perfect place to enjoy an alfresco lunch or dinner. Share in small plates from our new Spring Summer bar menu while sitting on the picturesque deck taking in the Sun (if it ever decides to show its face!)
With a great Summer wine list and plenty of beers on tap - the deck in Summer is definitely the place to be in Hawthorn.

Read the Canvas review below:
Confidence isn't a flavour, but it does make food taste better, as proven by Pierre Khodja at Canvas. Two years after the restaurant opened in 2006, the Algerian-born chef stripped the menu of its French–Mediterranean tendencies and boosted the north African experience. It's been a smart move. Khodja plays with flavours he grew up with – chermoula, harissa, preserved lemon – and wrangles them into modern, expressive dishes. You might eat cinnamon dusted scallops with succulent raisin jam, or a gently spicy seafood pie with milk-poached flathead. Restraint is evident in disarmingly pretty cold dishes, like shaved fennel salad with olives, and a refreshing dessert of watermelon and fresh mint. Tagines have a homely, traditional feel, whether snapper baked with spice paste and clams, or a melting lamb stew with dried fruits and rosewater. Desserts meld French technique and exotic tastes, as with date creme brulee, mint-tea sorbet, and halva parfait. Though there's sometimes a hubbub from the popular deck, in the peaceful dining room everything is stylish, from the terracotta serving pots to the attentive service. Recent splashes on this Canvas suggest it's a masterpiece in the making.
