Canter's Deli on Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles

Canter's Deli is a Jewish-style delicatessen, opened in 1931 in Boyle Heights, and later moved to the Fairfax District of Los Angeles, California, near the border of West Hollywood. It has been frequented by many movie stars and celebrities.

The restaurant serves traditional food items, including: lox and bagels, corned beef, matzoh ball soup, and challah bread. However, it is not certified kosher, being open on Saturdays and offering many non-kosher menu items like ham sandwiches. Canter's has remained open 24 hours most days, except on the Jewish holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. However, its dining room is only open until 11:30 PM.

In 2021, the Financial Times ranked it as one of the "50 greatest food stores in the world."[1]
