After quite a few attempts to return to Canvas - having found it closed we ended up dining across the road at The Undertaker - we turn up to actually find that it's open!
With the bar section full of LWL (ladies who lunch) an executive decision is made to try out the restaurant again.
Confit Duck Terrine and Foie Gras Parcel ($22)
Paalo's starter - there's a slight dusting of icing sugar and cinnamon over the filo wrapped foie gras. Paalo is impressed with the quantity and quality of foie gras.
Seared prawns with Rabbit Rillettes Spring Rolls served with a parsley sauce ($19)
This was my starter - 4 plump prawns with crispy tails intact. In the spring roll, finely shredded shiitake mushroom mixed with carrot, spring onion and shredded rabbit rillettes.
Mixed Vegetarian Treats ($26)
Paalo opted for something lighter for a main to counter his rich first course. On the plate we had Pumpkin Soup, Mushroom and Taleggio Tart, Spinach and Feta Triangle and Lemon Risotto.
Quail with Stuffed Cabbage Rolls ($18)
I decide to just have another starter and it's quite a hearty serving - a boned quail cooked till wonderfully crisp served with a meat stuffed cabbage roll. I especially loved the crunchy outer leaves of the roll.
For a side we opted for the Roasted Garlic and Rosemary Kipfler potatoes ($6.50).
Yoghurt Pannacotta and Rhubarb Tart with Vanilla Ice cream and Sesame Wafer ($14)
Paalo's dessert - the yoghurt certainly adding a good tang to the pannacotta, the tart was served warm and had quite a molten core.
Mixed Berry Pudding with Orange Custard and Cointreau Ice Cream ($14)
This was my dessert - my only complaint would be that the ice cream was too heavily flavoured with Cointreau.
