Canteen is a casual Wine Bar from Chef Greg Kuzia-Carmel, of Camper fame. The restaurant is conveniently located at the corners of Oak Grove + Garwood avenues in Menlo Park just a short hop and skip away from the Menlo Park Caltrain Station. Featuring an ever changing mix of seasonally driven small plates, tapas, and larger dishes, alongside a menu of craft cocktails, great wines by the glass and the bottle, and non-alcoholic options, Canteen is the "Urban Oasis" Menlo Park has been clamoring for. The vibe is laid back with a mix of bar, communal, informal style seating. Canteen is the perfect place to meet up with friends, family and colleagues, for whatever reason (or no reason at all). In the warmer months Canteen features an expansive outdoor patio, perfect for sharing a pitcher of Sangria and a symphony of small plates + pintxos.

    Delicious food. Excellent service, but the music was awful and loud. We weren't able to talk with our friends. It's not a good place to talk and enjoy dinner at the same time

    Love this restaurant! Service is always top notch, food is perfect every time. Drinks and appetizers came out so fast that we couldn’t believe it was our order. We order the pulp dish at each meal and it’s perfect each time. Loved the paella mixta and cocktails are well balanced not too sweet or heavy on the alcohol

    The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable but did not hang around and interrupt our dinner. The food was outstanding, the Patatas Bravas were crispy and flavorful, the octopus was tender and had just the right amount of char on it, and the churros were well balanced with a crunchy exterior a slightly chewy interior and not overly sweet like so many churros you get in a restaurant.
