Description:
- This L.A. institution is a classic example of the mid-century diner, replete with a kaleidoscopic tree-patterned ceiling and flying saucer-like lamps. Open all night, the sprawling eatery is packed 24/7. After last call, it's loaded with barhoppers slurping away on hangover preventions, and by sun up, it's filled with noshing retirees. The menu has a Talmudic level of complexity, but stay away from traditional diner fare like burgers and fries and stick to the cold cuts--these mile-high deli sandwiches are near godliness. A study in excess, Eddie Cantor's Delight is a skyscraping arrangement of pastrami, corned beef, ham, Swiss cheese and turkey on rye. Mishmosh, a bowl of matzoh ball soup loaded with kreplach, rice, noodles, chicken and carrots, is a full meal bobbing in chicken broth. An artery-clogging masterpiece, the Reuben sandwich is hot corned beef slapped with Swiss cheese and sauerkraut on grilled rye bread.

I met some friends there on Sunday for Brunch and had a fantastic philly cheese pastrami panini. The kettle chips (home made) and the cole slaw were amazing! Great service as well!...

Canter's may not be the best deli in the world, and is probably a bit more pricey than most people would expect, but the entertainment there is beyond anything you could get at...

Dependable and open late
-
Not food I'd eat every day (HIGH carbs) but if you're looking for corned beef sandwiches (or pastrami) and tasty matzo ball soup, stop by...especially late at night.

One of my favorite restaurants in LA! I've been there many times and ordered delivery, of breakfast no less, and everything was great.
