Qingdao’s Western Food: The Canvas

50%off Hamburgers

Let me just rave for a few minutes on how awesome that this place is in Qingdao, China. The food is very tasteful, my hubby and I will be spending many future date nights here. I can vouch for the hamburgers since that’s all I have had there so far. The food is even better on Monday night when the hamburgers are half off, yes 50% off, meaning the meal is only about 25RMB (about $4 for a fancy smancy cow depending on the hamburger style you select).If you buy a hamburger the side dishes include french fries and a fresh salad.

Date night with my best friend.

In this book my creative husband came up with a cute game! We were to randomly drop our finger on a page, without looking and create a story on that topic. Genius!

Borrow Books for FREE

Not only do the prices speak my language but the restaurant offers customers the ability to borrow books and return them on a honest policy base and wait for it….books in English, IN CHINA. The Lord blessed me with a book called “A Time to Embrace” by Karen Kingsbury. I literally couldn’t put the book down.

The restaurant is owned by two partners, a Chinese man and a woman who is from South Korea. The woman is married to a Canadian and has lived there too. I was amazed and so proud of the woman for opening this restaurant and that she handles most of the business. (Note to foreigners, the easiest way to have a business in China is to partner with a native). She’s one smart cookie, she did a really good business move to take a usually slow night like a Monday and make it the busiest with a discount off an item.

If your looking for western food in Qingdao, China then visit The Canvas. It’s the place to be folks.

It was my first time in China over a month to see a chocolate chip cookie. It’s the size of my face. It hit the craving but wasn’t my all-time favorite kind, soft, chewy and gluten-free. Note to viewers. You see the black chalk board sign?  Notice the tiny writing that says “Saturday” that is when these fancy drinks are on sale for 20 RMB.
