Canon

"Find the convivial Canon sequestered away from the downtown bustle. This cool space that contrasts deep tones against bright whites is enveloped by the aromatic smell of smoke, so it’s no surprise that the house is packed most nights.Chef Brad Cecchi is the culinary mastermind and his menu is pivoted around playful small plates. Keeping that in mind, arrive armed with a group as involvement is the bottom line. Whether you’re sipping a cocktail while snacking on Urfa chili drumsticks at the bar, or savoring lamb pavé matched with roasted pineapple and blue corn tortillas, dining here is a global tour de force. Picky palates will find much to enjoy among the many vegan or gluten-free items; and dessert tapas will have your sweet tooth working overtime." - Michelin Inspector
