TRAVELHOST Elite of Greater Fort LauderdaleMarch 12, 2014With a passion for unique ingredients, one-of-a-kind dishes and culinary individuality, the Canadian-born Wilber has curated Fort Lauderdale’s premier southwestern- style café for nearly two decades.
Steve ManuelJuly 24, 2019One of our go to spots in Victoria Park. Cannot miss the bread pudding. Amazing!- Ai KFebruary 25, 2019I can't even tell you what not to get. Tuna tartar is pure heaven, the scallops are sooo good, seared tuna and the swordfish... I can't pick my favorite. Worth every penny
Fort Lauderdale MagazineAugust 5, 2014Standouts include: swordfish with Swiss chard-white bean ragout, tomato-avocado salsa and green chili chorizo crumbles - See more at: http://flmag.com/canyon#sthash.1SgIYcEO.dpuf
Christine ShepherdDecember 30, 2013No reservations and a small bar, but patience is worth it. Small plates way to go: tostadas are great and a good value. Skip the dumplings. Wash everything down w prickly pear margaritas!
VisitLauderdaleMay 18, 2016This Southwestern-inspired restaurant has drink specials every day of the week! Stop by for Tequila Tuesdays, Wine Down Wednesdays or for Happy Hour Sun-Fri from 5:30-8:30pm.
Ingrid KorgemagiOctober 30, 2011Best restaurant in Ft. Lauderdale, IMHO. The poblano pepper app is outstanding and save room for the signature desert. Definately a place for foodies. Ask for Jeff. He'll take care of you!
MNT M.July 24, 2014Ask any Fort Lauderdale foodie for restaurant recommendations, and one name is sure to come up without question.
Anne IngersollMarch 8, 2015Place is too small so it gets too crowded easily. Not a place for claustrophobic people. Waiting time for table is 20-30mins. Other than that their prickly pear margarita & tuna tartare are the bomb!
New Times Broward Palm BeachAugust 2, 2011The Prickly Pear Margarita was named Best Margarita by New Times Broward PB! Balance is key to the margarita and this specimen walks a tightrope of secret ingredients without faltering one bit- Bob PolandSeptember 17, 2011Absolutely my favorite restaurant in Fort Lauderdale. Incredibly fabulous food. They take no reservations, so get there early! Pricey, but worth every penny :)
Mike BFebruary 4, 2011The Canyon is awesome, just make sure to come dressed up or you'll end up like us and be put in THE DARK TABLE where no one can see you and your poor people clothes, then you'll have to use your phone- New Times Broward Palm BeachAugust 30, 2012Feeling like a carnivore? Order the filet and you won't be disappointed! It's tender, juicy, and best of all delicious! Read more
- New Times Broward Palm BeachApril 2, 2013The Day-Glo pink of Canyon's Prickly Pear Margarita hints at the Hawaiian Punch flavors favored by college girls with bad fake IDs, but devotees swear by this balancing act of a beverage.
Mario RestivoApril 2, 2011Wow wow wow. Prickly pear martini, black grouper, white chocolate bread pudding. Good better best. You won't stop thinking how amazing the food is for days.- Try the White Chocolaye Bread Pudding - UNBELIEVABLE! This dessert is worth everything! One of the best I ever had! Divine!
neinAugust 27, 2012romantic atmosphere, be sure to get a booth. great service. recommend tuna tartar for app- Love their tuna tartar and ask to add avocado! Expresso crem brûlée is amazing too
- VisitLauderdaleMarch 21, 2012Indulge with a famous Prickly Pear Margarita where the ingredients are kept mum but the punchy flavors will have you say “Yum!”
Pelican Grand Beach ResortJanuary 18, 2012Great Southwestern Restaurant. They're famous for their Prickly Pear Margaritas for a reason - don't leave without trying one!- VisitLauderdaleJuly 1, 2014BYO fans; Bring your own wine – provided that Canyon does not carry it – for a corkage fee of $25 a bottle.
Danielle PerryNovember 5, 2012I'll never forget the delicious ostriche appetizer I had at Canyon a while back. Really need to go back soon :)- VisitLauderdaleNovember 4, 2013Stay all night during happy hour at the bar with 1/2 off menu appetizers.
Best damn restaurant in Fort Lauderdale. The Prickly Pear margarita is a must & their tuna tartars is the best on the planet. Service, impeccable.- Try the White Chocolate Bread Pudding - Divine! One of the best desserts I ever had!
Roger R.July 2, 2010I had the seafood risotto, it was a special, not on the regular menu. Might be the best meal I ever had.
Peter MacLeanMay 8, 2010The food here is amazing! Prickly pear margarita is a must. Also - get the creme brûlée for dessert - unreal!
- Try the Swordfish With White Beans And Sausage Crumbs
