Menu Reveal: Four Things To Order at Paddington’s New Tapas Bar, Caness

Caness will open in a converted Paddington grocer this April, with punchy small plates that dance between the Middle East and the Med. The team has a welcoming ethos, serving unfussy food in a warm, convivial setting.

It’s co-owned by two chefs, Erez Nahum (who heads up Surry Hills restaurant Shaffa) and Juan Colmenares. Plus, head chef Jeever Domingo has an impressive CV, having worked in kitchens like Opera Bar, The International, Morrison’s and Whalebridge.

Here, Domingo gives Broadsheet a peek at the evening’s menu.

Beef tartar with pimenton-harissa aioli, chives, capers and crispy shallots

Seared tuna andaluz with a micro herb salad and finger lime “caviar”

Prawns saganaki with ouzo, cherry tomatoes, feta and mint

Sloppy Yosef: minced lamb, roast onion and capsicum, Middle Eastern BBQ sauce and pickles
