Canvas is housed inside the beautiful and historic Fremantle Art Centre. Its a truly tranquil spot to bring a group of friends, some BYO bubbles and have a long table birthday brunch...with a Middle Eastern bent.
The stars of the menu are the Shak-shukas. You probably know the traditional form - eggs poached in a rich tomato sauce with aromatic spices and fresh herbs, served in a small skillet. Well Canvas have taken this traditional berbers breakfast and made it their signature, offering versions that include fancy things like barrumundi, prawns and pork chipolatas...even lamb brains.

| Sea shak-shuka with whiting |
I tried the "Sea" version with my pick of whiting. The plentiful dish came with buttered spinach and herbs, labneh, harissa and a side of Moorish (extremely satisfying) bread, olives and herbed butter. The serving was enough for two, but too delicious to be shared :D.

| Soup of the day - bean, ham hock |
It's still a bit of a Freo kept secret but its in an easy running for one of the best brunches in Perth in my books.
Ups: inspired breakfast menu, generous serves, house made bread and luxurious herbed butter, peaceful setting
Downs: Coffee was just ok, courtyard cold in Winter.
Subsequent visit worthy? Yep
