We went to an exhibition at the Fremantle Arts Centre recently, and dropped by their Canvas Cafe for lunch before heading home.

We fell in love with the infectious, happy vibe at Canvas, and then we fell for the glorious food, delivered with enthusiasm and a confident smile! Just goes to show that food made with joy and love and passion creates a lasting enjoyment that goes way beyond the actual experience on the day.

Can't wait to get back there - my taste buds are tingling at the memory of our magnificent lunch. We tried the breakfast shakshukas (available all day) and are now totally hooked on the incredible flavours and gorgeous presentation. The shakshukas arrived sizzling hot in a little frying pan, sitting on a wooden board with Moorish bread and herb butter, and a dish of the most INCREDIBLE spiced olives I have ever tasted.

Apparently the food at Canvas is based on spanish-basque-north african cuisines. All new to me, but I am a huge fan of the bold, knowledgeable, joyous use of spices and the most important ingredients of all: love and passion!

Opening Hours: 8.30am – 4pm, 7 days a week (kitchen closes at 2pm)
