About Canlis

For more than sixty years, we’ve been trying to serve and celebrate Seattle with our food. That’s a long time to stay cutting edge. It’s a long time to be pushing the culinary envelope. In the fifties and sixties Peter Canlis brought the world to Seattle on a platter. Exotic food from foreign nations was ahead of the curve, and Peter even snuck Hawaiian fish onto returning PanAm flights to impress the locals. Today, local is exotic. Tomorrow, we’ll dine from an earth well cared for. Throughout it all, Canlis has used food as a platform to care for others. It doesn’t need to be worshiped or studied — leave that work to us. We just want you around our table, and we want to celebrate you with our cooking. Our aim is to nourish community, to nourish stomach and soul, and we can’t wait to cook for you. Of the many ways to serve, care for, restore, and celebrate someone, cooking is the most easily received of all gifts. Let us break bread together. We'll bring the bread.
