The Canyon Bistro Wine In Topanga

Food and wine were really good. Not too crowded. Patio seats were reserved but inside was just fine. Small menu but lots of great choices. We will be back

Some of the most memorable dining experiences come from the most unexpected places. This place is doing it right. From the outside you wonder whether the walls will last through the length of dinner. But that’s because they are dedicated to food that is honest simple and absolutely delicious. It’s not often where you walk into a neighborhood joint and come away that the establishment’s food has a point of view. The calamari was delightfully crispy with Cajun seasonings that just sang. Cobb salad was balanced with not too much on any one ingredient. And both the filet and flank steaks were perfectly cooked and sauced so as to let the dish star. You expect this level of dental at a Michelin starred establishment. But to have a midweek dinner at that level with a super Oregon Pinot is a find indeed. Perhaps a little attention to decor would make some timid souls come in more often but that’s a small detail in an otherwise spectacular dining experience.

The atmosphere and location are fantastic inside Topanga canyon it really feels like a quiet little town much farther away from LA than it actually is. It could possibly be that we were there at a very quiet time which is why the food took a while but we were there for about 45 minutes before our food what served the food was good but otherwise unremarkable. I ordered the barbecue burger medium and cajun fries, however it came out medium rare which is fine if the burgers are ground in house. The fries were crispy well seasoned and not overly salty. All around a very pleasant experience though the burger could have done with a few less mushrooms. My partner had the seared ahi tuna tartine and truffle fries. Fortunately they had the option to sub in gluten-free bread which is a surprisingly hard thing to come by even in LA. Although lacking in truffle flavor their fries were also crispy and fresh. Other than the wait time it was a perfectly fine lunch
