Canvas is the brand new restaurant and market located at the Laureate Park Village Center in the heart of Lake Nona.
Over the years the area of Lake Nona has seen some pretty rapid development, most notably of which is the development of Lake Nona Medical City. The 650 acre health and life sciences park is a landmark for Orlando and a premier location for medical care, research and education. Canvas Restaurant and Market, as it is formally named, is certainly hoping to make the area a premier dining destination as well.
Led by Executive Chef Bryan Thoman, the Canvas restaurant menu features new American cuisine that is influenced by Florida’s Southern and Latin American roots with a focus on seasonal and regional produce as well as an abundance of fresh, Florida seafood. The chef driven menu is filled with shareable appetizers, creative salads and sandwiches, hearty entrees, and wood grilled pizzas and flatbreads.
Every detail of Canvas has been thoughtfully designed and planned to create a welcoming space for guests. The restaurant’s exhibition style kitchen opens to the main dining room while floor-to-ceiling windows provide picturesque waterfront views.

The market part of Canvas is open daily for breakfast and lunch. Guests can stop in and have a meal at the market’s communal table or chose from a variety of grab and go options, gourmet coffee, and fresh-squeezed juice and smoothies. The market also has comfortable seating and nooks where patrons can enjoy food and complimentary WiFi.
The 278 seat restaurant is one of Orlando’s only waterfront dining destinations and is really a beautiful restaurant from top to bottom. You may not live close to Lake Nona or Medical City, but I highly recommend you make the drive over there to check Canvas Restaurant and Market out. Who knows...you may even decide to become a resident of one of Orlando’s fastest growing communities.
