Canvas is an odd creature - located on the second floor of what is basically an office block. It also is one of these multipurpose venues - there's a large outside area, a formal dining room and a bar/cafe area.
It's also opposite another place, The Undertaker, that seems to be doing the same thing.
For today's lunch, we're in the formal dining area - there's another menu for the bar/outside area.

Butter, Dukka and Olive Oil
In the dinning room the bread along with this dish of butter, dukka and olive oil is gratis - in the bar/outside area you'll have to pay $4.50 for it.

Sauteed marinated quail with peppers, deep fried olives and herb salad ($16) - Quite a nice dish though the quail isn't as good as The Press Club.
