Overview
CANESS is a Middle Eastern tapas bar in the heart of Paddington that fuses bold flavours with laid-back charm. The venue blends Middle Eastern ingredients with Mediterranean tapas culture, creating a menu of punchy, ingredient-led share plates – from traditional prawns saganaki to smoky grilled octopus with caper salsa.
The drinks offering is just as thoughtful, featuring 80 plus wines (with over 20 by the glass) and a cocktail list built around vermouths, amaros, and regional twists – like the Figroni and the Clear Gazpacho. Designed for connection, the warm 60-seat space invites guests to settle in, sip, share, and stay awhile.
