Canvas is a breathtaking restaurant on level four of the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (MCA Australia) in The Rocks, blending the art and culinary worlds in an ever-changing experience.
Canvas hosts a new chef in residence each season, commencing in October 2024 with Josh Raine, who was executive chef at Tetsuya’s from 2018 until its closure. Josh’s menu is inspired by the diverse places he’s called home including England, France and Hong Kong.
Complementing MCA’s carefully curated selection of artworks, the dining experience at Canvas has been meticulously coordinated down to the fragrance (Oregano by Loewe), floral displays by renowned local creative Dr Lisa Cooper, relaxed staff uniforms by Australian label Unison, and a soundscape by composer Dan Fontaine.
The restaurant has views across Circular Quay to the Sydney Opera House, an uninterrupted outlook on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and a textured, neutral interior with Huon pine, ripple glass, and white marble elements that ensure diners’ focus is kept on the real artwork: the chef in residence’s menu.
Canvas serves a two-course ($85pp) and three-course ($100pp) menu) between 11.30am and 4.30pm Wednesday–Sunday, and is available for private event hire in the evenings.
