Canvas - We Love!

When in a mall, it's hard to find a meal that's cut above the usual fastfood or casual  meals. You'd be  surprised when you dine at Canvas- located at the 2nd level of The Terraces Ayala. If you love good food, then you'd definitely fall for Canvas!

It was a triple birthday celebration dinner for Sheng, Mark & Nico and I recommended we dine at Canvas! Some are first time diners at the bistro so they were so excited since I have been telling them that food at Canvas is great! We ordered all 6 Canvas creation full meals/main  ( 1 Canvas Creation wasn't available that night) plus 1 special order!

 

 Five Spice and Lemon Grass Roast Chicken with Garlic Mash at 295php.

I am a big fan of beef dishes and I must say I love this dish! Beef Fillet with blue cheese, red wine jus served in wok-fried Asian greens and sided with mashed potatoes. 345php for the full meal/main. Entree  priced at 220.

  

Imported Baby Back Ribs in honey and rum sauce served with potato wedges, corn and green salad. 

Price: Entree 265php   Main: 395php

 

Substituting our Grilled Lamb Cutlets, is a special order. Lamb shank served in a bed of  sauteed veggies. Tender and juicy lamb meat with a semi sweet sauce. Ronald and I are a fan! \m/

 

Mixed Grill - Thai BBQ Chicken, local beef, pork medallion and cream of dory served with potatoes and roasted veggies. Priced at 495php

  

Also one of my Canvas Fave is the Garlic, Paprika and Thyme rubbed porkchop with Spanish onion, Caramelized apple with Cumin curry battered potato wedges. 275php.

 My personal pick for the best Canvas creation -Pork medallions with grain mustard sauce, tiger prawn and pesto fettuccine. Main/ Full order is priced at 365php or without tiger prawn at 285php.

It was such a nice experience for we haven't seen each other for months and sharing a table with great food, amazing friends and loads of catching up was just perfect! As we all agreed- WE LOVE CANVAS!

We also have to commend the service at Canvas specially to Ms. Christ Cille Gegremosa! Service is very close to a fine dining resto at a casual and laid back ambiance. Keep it up guys!

For busy people like E, Homer, Edd, Kara and I, we find comfort in food! We had a scheduled get together dinner at Canvas after work and as expected I was the last to arrive at the table. Pardon me people for I work an hour away from the city of Cebu and have to battle traffic! raaawr! hehe

Canvas! You might have noticed the waiters and waitresses showing you the menu while your walking the 2nd level of the terraces which some people find annoying. But for me , I love Canvas! Will definitely go back!

I ordered Pork Medallions with grain mustard sauce, grilled tiger prawn and pesto spinach fettuccini. Entree 195php and Main Course priced at 295php. I love the fresh basil taste on the pesto, the tender & juicy grilled prawn and the taste of the grain mustard sauce on the pork medallions.

Another dish I sampled was chicken wrapped in Pancetta on thyme garlic jus with vegetable cous cous. Price: 270php. Yum!
