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!

    We had a great lunch experience from beginning to end. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and responsive. Sky was a top notch server. Food was DELICIOUS! It's a great atmosphere though a little too chilly. I will look forward to coming again.

    My daughter and I went to Canal Bistro before going to Newfields for the Christmas light experience. We were looking for a place we could both eat that wasn’t far away. Canal bistro was perfect. Food was delicious, and the service was great. I’d love to go back with a group of friends or during the summer to sit outside.

    When I walked inside, I was warmly greeted by the women up front. After we sat down, we quickly got service and then ordered our food. Bread came shortly after and was delicious. Overall, the foods were incredible as was the service as well.
