A Monday Takeover Readers' Dinner at Caness Tapas Bar

Caness is hosting Broadsheet Access members for a special Monday takeover fill with wine, tapas, and an off-menu dessert. Plus, there may even be some exclsuive and a few exclusive extras to be won on the night.

It’s co-owned by two chefs, Erez Nahum (who heads up Surry Hills restaurant Shaffa) and Juan Colmenares. “We believe that great food doesn’t need to be complicated,” says Nahum. “It’s about stripping things back to the essentials and letting the ingredients speak for themselves.”

Caness translates to “come in” in Hebrew, reflecting the pair’s intention to create an unfussy, comfortable space. The facade is bordered by the grocer’s original glossy blue tiles, with freshened up double-front windows and footpath seating. Inside, an open kitchen and bar area runs along two walls, with a range of spots to sit.

Arrive at 6.30pm and be handed a zingy Gazpacho cocktail (mixing vodka, tomato, cucumber and citrus) or a glass of bubbles. Then, settle in for a casual feast with fellow Access members. You can opt to receive matched wines with each course.
