Canter's Deli is a famous Jewish delicatessen in the Fairfax District of Los Angeles, California, near the border of West Hollywood.
When you make a reservation at the Farmer Daughter Hotel you will be just a couple block walk to this historic Los Angeles Landmark.
Canter's is a hangout for show business personalities, given its location and its late hours. In the 1960s, Canter's became a late night hang out for hippies, rock musicians, and other countercultural types, partially for the same reasons. Also, many rock musicians had grown up in Fairfax and West Hollywood, and the Sunset Strip was only half a mile away. Canter's has remained a favorite of rock musicians to the present day, and is still open 24 hours as always. Canter's is open every day of the year except for the Jewish holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
Canter's is widely celebrated for its traditional deli favorites, such as pastrami, corned beef, matzoh ball soup, challah, lox and bagels, and brisket. But it also has a massive menu of other breakfast, lunch, and dinner options and has been awarded for its food many times over the years.
The bar in Canter's, called the Kibitz Room, has its own history and has been a favorite of music personalities. Even though the restaurant is open 24 hours, the Kibitz Room closes at 2 am. They have live music every night, and were the launch pad for plenty of bands, most notably the Wallflowers, Fiona Apple, and Rick Rubin's new project, the Vacation.
Today, the restaurant is not certified kosher- the restaurant is open on Saturdays and offers many items on its menu which are not kosher or treif (e.g ham sandwiches).
