CantinaS utilises the immense talents of husband and wife team Irene and Ronald Szeto, owners of what was ABC Noodles based in Glebe. This is harmonized by the proprietor's vision for a Spanish style communal kitchen which is based around the simple philosophy of providing great food, great wine and most importantly facilitating great conversation. The style of the furnishings reflects this philosophy. Inspiration has been taken from Spanish artists Miro and Gaudi and marries well with the art works of some Australia's finest glass sculpting artists. Indeed, some of the blown vases and plates have been displayed in galleries in Miami, Chicago and the Victoria and Albert museum.
CantinaS offers both a three course dining menu and a counter meal menu. The cuisine is ancient in origin yet modern in translation. Drawing on flavours that have their origin in the Asia-Pacific rim the end result is what is best described as modern Australian. Signature dishes such as the crispy skin squab tantalise the taste buds.
And for $22.00 for two courses and $30.00 for three, this represents true value for money.
