About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
The Canal Bistro is the realization of a dream for Mona and George Hanna. George's homeland is Egypt; Mona spent her first 23 years in Lebanon. They know Mediterranean cooking. George has been in the restaurant business for 22 years. And over the years, Mona watched her mother and grandmother cook for their big family from their own herb and vegetable gardens, learning the value of freshness in cooking.

George says. "It's been our dream to open our own place, to be creative with cuisine, and to have a family business that our sons can be a part of."

The Canal Bistro is that dream. "It's like you've come to one of our parties -- we've basically just moved our kitchen from home to here," they say. "We put the grill in the dining room because we want people to know that we are using top quality ingredients, and that freshness is our goal, so everything is done right in front of you."

So eat up, relax, be happy. You're eating in a dream come true!

    When we walked in, they told us to sit anywhere, food was just okay, moussaka was burnt on top. They never mentioned the birthday, which was tagged on the reservation.

    Great service and meal outside on the patio. Recommendation by our waitress of the Mezza plate appetizer with the choice of 4 different apps was a great tasting experience! We can't resist the baklava here, so we were so full we asked to take it home.

    Excellent service, Mazza Plate was great appetizer. Spanakopita was tasty and browned to perfection. Moussaka was good (I would have preferred a bit more seasoning, but well done), and did I mention the service was great?
