Artistic tasting menus showcasing local Thai ingredients and flavors
"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 its stately double arched façade, Canvas stands out in elegance amongst its neighbouring humble shophouses. The impeccably plated dishes thought up by chef Riley Sanders quickly earned the restaurant a star, and for good reason. The seasonal six- and nine-course tasting menus here feature local, organic or wild ingredients that have been meticulously sourced from farmers and suppliers all around the country. Think dishes like king mackerel with ant egg, cucumber, soy, and dill, or Thai Wagyu with Thai truffle and Chinese kale. If you can, grab a seat at the chef’s table-style counter to get a close-up of Riley at work." - Veronica Inveen
"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
