Canvas, located at 113/9-10 Sukhumvit Soi 55 in Bangkok’s lively Thonglor area, is a remarkable dining experience that fully earns its Michelin star. Chef Riley Sanders and his team transform Thailand’s local, seasonal ingredients into innovative dishes that feel both artistic and approachable. The two-story space is intimate and modern, with counter seats offering a front-row view of the open kitchen—a treat for anyone who enjoys watching culinary precision in action. The tasting menu (around THB 4,500++ for 18 courses) is a highlight, featuring creative takes like toasted rice bread with salted egg yolk or tender mud crab with unexpected flavor pairings. Each dish tells a story of its origins, from farms in Khao Yai to coastal provinces, blending Thai roots with global techniques. Service is friendly and attentive, with the staff happy to explain the inspiration behind every course. The wine pairing option elevates the meal further, though it’s not cheap. Reservations are a must, as the small space fills up fast. Canvas isn’t just a meal—it’s a celebration of Thailand’s bounty, reimagined with flair. Perfect for food enthusiasts looking for something unique in Bangkok!

An amazing dining experience! We had the Oomph course and every dish was like a piece of art, made with ingredients sourced from all over Thailand. We were blown away by how much thought went into each plate, from the way it was cooked and presented to the stories behind the ingredients. Each dish came with a postcard showing a painting of the dish and a write-up about its inspiration, which made the experience even more special. Even the plates were custom-made! The staff explained every dish in detail without being too formal or intrusive. It was the most expensive meal we’ve ever had, but it was more than just food—it was an incredible mix of art, culture, and flavors!

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!

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.

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.

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.
