Comfort food to the max if you love pickled herring, lox, and massive heads of delicious cabbage. The quality of the food is only matched by the sense of humor of the servers.

I like the atmosphere. It's kind of dark and subdued with booths and a lovely ceiling.

The holy land of Hollywood. Canter’s is a staple of Los Angeles, and has been visited by many of the greats and legends. With an extremely impressive menu list, you will be happy with whatever you get. The pastry counter is excellent with some great black and white cookies.

Trapped in historic mid century decor, Cantor's Deli's humble Boyle Heights roots began their LA institution of Jewish delicatessen in the Fairfax District in the late 1940s from their 1931 origin as the community established itself across town.

LA's Jewish community and cultural roots are well displayed by their wonderful cuisine. Canter's has kept the charm and taste embedded in what we know now as historical.

Lively during busy days and hours, you can find an excellent deli sandwich and many other traditional cuisines. The menu is long, and the staples are always delicious. Pastrami and Corned Beef are the popular go-to items. Various combinations are also excellent. Breakfast items can be skewed into lunch for whatever your fancy is.

The Bakery selection and Desserts are also a crowd favorite.

Parking is mostly street, but there is a marked lot just south of the restaurant's location. Be prepared for a short wait on weekend hours. They are open for late-night diners, making this spot a great default for a hearty meal.
