Canter's Deli

$2,999.00

Canter's is one of the few Los Angeles restaurants that needs no introduction. A bright orange beacon of food, friends and late night conversation. Everyone knows it, everyone loves it. 

Originally established in Boyle Heights in 1931, Canter’s quickly became known for its hearty, high-quality Jewish comfort food. In 1948, the restaurant followed Los Angeles’ westward-moving Jewish community to Fairfax Avenue. As its popularity grew, Canter’s eventually outgrew its first Fairfax location and relocated just a few doors down, taking over the former Esquire Theater (yes, that’s why there’s a theater marquee on the exterior!).

In 1961, the addition of the Kibitz Room cocktail lounge transformed Canter’s into more than just a deli. It became a late-night cultural hub, attracting musicians, actors, and artists from across the city.

Today, Canter’s continues to serve generous portions of the same authentic fare that earned it widespread acclaim, remaining a beloved landmark where locals, tourists, and night owls all feel at home.

This 1/30th-scale miniature of Canter’s captures all the deli’s most recognizable features from the iconic Googie-style rooftop sign to the theater marquee and the neon baker carrying a tray of fresh challah. Weeks of care and attention to detail has gone into bringing this beloved Los Angeles landmark to life in stunning detail.
