Canvas on Postcard

"Food meets art at Chef Riley Sanders' plush establishment. Every dish of the culinary journey is depicted as a painting on the menu, like an art gallery brochure. The talented Texan sources seasonal ingredients from all over Thailand and transforms them with a modern interpretation. Counter seats offer views of the chefs, while tables upstairs offer more privacy. Wine pairings are available to complete the experience." - Michelin Inspector

"An Effortlessly Stylish Addition to Bangkok's Fine-Dining Scene Bangkok’s culinary scene has recently been enlivened by an influx of talented U.S. chefs who are upping creativity levels at venues around the city. One such addition is Texan Riley Sanders, the head man at Canvas. Sanders cut his teeth at restaurants in Austin and Chicago, as well as on aluxury yacht, and his globe-trotting approach to cooking is evident here. Theemphasis is on local ingredients in the six- and nine-course tasting menus, which showcase modern Bangkok cuisine in a freewheeling approach. Recent menu highlights have included shrimp noodles dressed in an intense seafood sauce, and mud crab prepared with lotus root, lotus stem, swamp algae, and rice paddy herbs."

"With a beautiful oversized canvas on the wall, this restaurant is where art meets food and every dish looks like a masterpiece. Driven by premium local produce and a variety of techniques, Chef Riley has created an inspirational seasonal menu. A tasting menu of 6 or 9 courses takes diners on a real culinary journey; the live action in the kitchen can be enjoyed from the counter seats. Tables and a bar upstairs offer privacy and intimacy." - Angie Thien

To be honest, I didn't have high expectations for the food before my visit, given some negative reviews by many here. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the Oomph course, which left my stomach thoroughly satisfied with bold and unique flavors that are not typically found in ordinary cuisine. This restaurant and its thoughtfully curated set course are definitely worth trying, thanks to the chef's creativity, despite the slightly higher price. Overall, it was a worthwhile experience that I would recommend.

We loved the concept and enjoyed the food experience. Having the food cards with the images created curiosity about what the next dish would look like. I found it interesting! However, I didn’t get or fully appreciate all the dishes but some of them were an explosion of unique flavors. The staff were very attentive and kindly explained every single dish. Prices are in line with other Michelin star restaurants. Overall, we liked our dinner experience and we would recommend it for anyone who is eager to leave their palate confort zone. Downsides: I found wine a bit pricy even for the category and we were a bit underwhelmed by the fact that the chef didn’t stop at our table (it has been the norm in any other Michelin star restaurant we’ve been to)

This restaurant is of of the world!!! Starting with the whole concept, the food, the service, the drinks, and last but not least the chef. We were there end of March with high expectation but Canvas exceeded it way more. We had our son with us which was not a problem at all. Luckily we were seated at the counter so we could see the chef and the crew in action. We had 20 course menu and each course was a highlight. The chef noticed that we were interested in food served so he came to us and took the time to explain anything we wanted to know. One of the best Michelin Stars I have been to, of any the best!

Amazing experience. It truly was a painting sess - it's so clever how they use the ingredients as the brush to mix all the condiments together, the plate being the canvas you paint on, to create heavenly umami in your mouth. Light, not too heavy. Don't be fooled by the tiny portions - they add up. Beautiful interior, delightful menu, gracious hosts - the fine dining trifecta!

It was literally our worst dining experience. We went in with high anticipation on the colourful dishes and of course trusting the michelin star. Things kinda went down hill quite soon. We can’t hear anything the waitresses said about the dishes which was quite a turn off. The taste of all the dishes is all over the place and disoriented. Our stomach was overwhelmed and we felt physically quite unwell and couldn’t even finish the dishes from mid way onwards.

Such a whimsical evening at Canvas with its Wild Things tasting menu. Every dish is an experience in itself - a colorful feast for the eyes, a party of flavors in your mouth, a flutter in your heart. I came with blank canvas and left in awe and wander. ❤️💙💜💚💛

If food was a movie, this meal was definitely a thriller. Every dish pushed the boundaries of the senses, playing with savoury, sweet, sour, spicy, soft, chewy, and crunchy. All the dishes were great except two of them were challenging to eat: the crocodile tongue because of what it was and the vegetable stick because of their very intense flavours. Presentation of the dishes was truly a piece of art, and the service was great. All the staff did a good job in describing the dishes except the chef himself that kind of served one plate and said: "just mix it all up and eat it". I would have expected a bit more passion and better description from the chef himself.
