the canopy

as you first walk in, the canopy looks like a set from a school play, carved out trees and birds spray painted silver, but there is something charming about the place. smack bang in the middle of the city, opposite the famous hyde park, makes this placegreatfor people watching if you find yourself sitting under the shady trees outside. i've come here a few times now for breakfast, lunch and dinner and every time it has been a pleasant experience, it's what i like to call "a bit of an all rounder" no matter what time of the day you go, there is always something on the menu you feel like. eggs, sandwiches, pizza, pasta, steak, chicken, veggies. it is not wow food ( you would think it was for the price), but it's decent sized and has a lot of flavour. they usually havegreatmarket fish specials and a solid wine list. i guess you could say this is my regular, the restaurant i go to when i want to go out

we came here after a very early morning flight up from melbourne. the middle east brekky is agreatcreation to bring some new fresh flavours mixed in with some old favourites and my partner and i loved it. coffee was also great!

the canopy is a hidden gem! lovely wait staff,greatlocation (just by hyde park) and delicious food. would definitely recommend esp for those looking for a bigger size cafe in the city.

came here in a groupon deal which worked out to be pretty cheap. for entree we ordered fried squid with 5 spice, and mozzarella wrapped in prosciutto. both were excellent.

for mains we ordered a sirloin steak that was lathered in dijon mustard with a dukka crust. it came with a side of fried potatoes. it was excellent!

our second main was a duck dish. it came with two duck marylands which i thought was very generous.

overall, excellent meal andgreatvalue even if we were to come without a voucher.

just opposite hyde park and right outside museum station, the canopy is an amazing restaurant offering agreatselection of classic brunch, lunch and dinner plates! on our visit, we tried theirgreatbreakfast menu, which is just about to be revamped with some delicious dishes, including the waffles with berries and fresh fruit. the crunchy waffles and the tart berries were agreatsweet treat to start the morning!

this restaurant is located on elizabeth street close by to museum station and hyde park. service here is lovely even in the early hours of the morning especially scott who was the main waiter serving us. there is both an indoor and outdoor seating areas and the inside is decorated with forest designs thus their name. outside there is a coffee cart outside sogreatfor dropping by for a quick coffee and snack to go.

we came here to sample the breakfast menu which is extensive and provides plenty of options even to the fussiest of eaters. we wanted a variety of dishes so went with wild mushrooms with a side of bacon, salmon gravadlax with a side of wilted baby spinach, and french toast to share. the mushrooms were cooked well and were bursting with flavour and truffle hollandaise on top of the poached eggs was delicious. the egg on the salmon was a nice accompaniment to the creme fraiche on the bagel. french toast wasn't too sweet and had a nice berry compote and mascarpone on top.

thank you to zomato and the restaurant for offering the chance to dine here.

been here about 3yrs back as i live more out towards south west sydney way, especially the truffle oil asparagus n mushroom risotto, it wasgreatthen and still is now and i just came 2nyt for my birthday dinz, def. recommend just for a good entree and this main 😆

it is a convenient local near to museum station. the waiters are very nice people. the menu incluides pizza, pasta, salad and sandwiches. the food is fresh and have agreattaste. the service is quite fast.

i love this place. so convenient, next to hyde park, and still serving lunch til quite late. food has always been good, i had dinner here one time a few months ago before a show and it was spectacular - my companion had the salmon and was raving about it. had a pizza for a late lunch most recently and was less keen on the pizza, but it was good - just nothing special. ambience is surprisingly good, especially for being so cbd-central. even outside, the tables are nice and solid, and the pavement is so wide that you're back from the road.greatwith our dog. staff are always friendly and courteous, and bathroom is clean and well appointed. my current favourite place in sydney cbd.

this is agreatspot for a cbd big brekky; conveniently located just opposite museum station, and only a short walk from george and pitt street. our waiter was a really nice italian bloke who couldn't do too much for us. my flat white was nice, and served in the perfect size mug... the milk to coffee ratio is too often undervalued.

i was recommended "the canopy" from a friend and i have been a regular customer since!
the decor is modern and clean with a playful simplicity. 
the extensive drinks offer compliments the menu and it isgreatto have a cocktail or two with dinner. 
i have tried every entree on the menu but my favorite is the scallops. always cooked to perfection and the portion size is just right. the dips are to die for with plenty of olives served as a starter. 
you cant go wrong with any of the quality meat options for mains and they serve the best shoestring fries i have ever eaten!
the fresh ingredients and full flavored sauces are agreataccompaniment to any of the mains on offer. 
the pastas are a generous size full of flavor,but i never can eat the whole bowl.
i have only ever eaten 1 dessert - the cookies and cream cheesecake.  divine, i cant go past it every visit.
breakfast is a must.  my breakfast favorite is the sweetcorn & zucchini fritters, although the big breakfast comes in as a close second.   well done "the canopy" i will be back!!

the top line: the canopy is agreatplace to hang out after work in the city, to catch up with friends or to have a family dinner. we loved the casual-fine setting, simple menu, attentive and helpful staff and the meat… we loved the meat here!!! (also hear they dogreatbrunches as well!! so i can’t wait to try brunch there one day)

customer for life. i love this place. the staff are incredible and are very generous - especially if they remember you.
the food is always consistent and is really well-priced for a cbd cafe. it's got agreatvibe any time from a monday morning to friday after work drinks.
the baristas out the front are so friendly and seem to genuinely love their job which always puts a smile on my face.
muffins never seem to taste fresh but the banana bread is delicious.

i love having breakfast here!greatcoffee, cheap breakfast (i added so many extras!) and lovely waitors !!

great breakfast special. the canopy has a breakfast special that is just under 10-.
included is coffee as you want it; eggs cooked as you choose, toast of your choice and bacon. all was cooked to perfection. they even sprinkled some fresh sprouts over the eggs. it was agreatvalue.
