Canal Bistro brings scrumptious Mediterranean dishes to Broad Ripple with style. Enjoy a great view of the canal from the patio, authentic gourmet food made from scratch and refreshing cocktails from the full bar. Choose from among signature items such as the marinated kabobs (lamb, chicken, beef tenderloin, and shrimp) and pair your meal with select wines. Then, complete your culinary occasion with delicious homemade Baklava or Tiramisu and a cup of Turkish coffee.
Canal Bistro features daily drink 
specials and weekly food selections. For instance, you may sip on a glass of sangria while deciding between grilled Norwegian salmon or a Tilapia fillet served on a bed of couscous with sautéed spinach on the side. Many items are vegan including the lentil or roasted tomato artichoke soups. Also, there are many gluten-free choices on the menu. This particular bistro with a dog-friendly outdoor patio allows one to appreciate the casual sensation of outdoor seating coupled with the elegant approach to fine dining all in one memorable experience.
Looking for a caterer for that upcoming Indy 500 party? Canal Bistro provides catering for any occasion including weddings, rehearsal dinners, showers, graduations, birthdays, business luncheons, garden parties and more. The kitchen crew will deliver freshly made meals to your home or office.
This family-owned restaurant represents the magic of a dream come true for two people, George and Mona. George, from Egypt, spent 22 years in the restaurant business. Mona grew up in Lebanon, helping her mother and grandmother prepare large family meals using the harvest from their own vegetable and herb gardens. Mona appreciates the benefits of fresh food and incorporates this value into Canal Bistro. George and Mona invite you to experience the exceptional brand they have created. Whether you sit inside the dining room where you can observe the grill, watching the chef in action, or dine outside and enjoy a view of the canal, either way you will receive a gourmet meal served with much attention and care using only the finest ingredients.
