Where every plate tells a story of the sea
"So eat up, relax, be happy — you're eating in a dream come true."
— Mona & George, Founders · Canal Bistro
You are about to experience the freshest, tastiest, most authentic Mediterranean food you can get without a passport. Dine inside where you can watch your food being prepared, outside by the canal on our beautiful patio, or call ahead for carryout.
Enjoy a unique blend of delectable cuisine from our seasoned chefs in a one-of-a-kind atmosphere. Pair your meal with select wines or specialty cocktails. Our patio is dog-friendly!
"It's like you've come to one of our parties — we've basically just moved our kitchen from home to here."
Canal Bistro is the realization of a dream for Mona and George. 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.
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. "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."
