Canvas

A creative tasting menu offering first-rate, expertly handled, local produce - and one of Bangkok’s most exciting restaurants. Riley Sanders has a familiar story; falling in love with Southeast Asia during his travels in 2013, he decided to lay down roots in Bangkok and went about the creation of Canvas in 2016. Originally from Texas, the young chef - he’s still under 30 years-old - is fast becoming one of the culinary driving forces in the city. The crayfish is the standout dish, both in its presentation and taste; a beefy specimen, the innards mixed with dala, som jeed (kumquat), and lemongrass, then reattached to the head, and plated with artistic flair.
