Michelin Guide rated neighborhood restaurant with creative and shareable cuisine and a year-round patio.
"With a clear vision, a striking aesthetic and distinctive, mouthwatering flavors, Canon restaurant in East Sacramento is a stellar and welcome addition to the city’s dining scene." - 4-Stars, Sacramento Bee
"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." - Michelin Guide
Canon is committed to a healthy and productive workplace. A 4% service fee is added to dine-in bills to help cover the cost of employee health and wellness benefits and to provide a kitchen equity stipend to our back-of-house staff.

    Service was excellent! Food was very good. The side dishes are large. Next time, we'll share the 'one person' size. Had the rib eye, which was cooked beautifully. There are two optional 'sauces' for the steak that I will change next time. They have a Crust (butter sauce) and a Sauce. they are both wonderful but I would only order one. Will go again!

    This was our second time visiting the restaurant and it was as good or better than our first visit. Servers are attentive and knowledgeable. Food is excellent. There was a large party near us which is the only reason that I said that the noise level was a bit high. Fantastic restaurant!

Discover Sacramento

If you're looking to see some of the best Sacramento has to offer, plan a visit to the K Street area. The once-flailing shopping district has seen a serious surge in popularity following the development of a new arena in the region. With over two dozen restaurants and bars in the area, there's no better opportunity to see the range of food options Sacramento has to offer. The latest crazes are upscale tacos and farm-to-table dishes, but K Street also offers everything from Irish pubs to casual seafood and traditional Jewish delis. And while downtown is the hot new place to be, there's still plenty of options elsewhere. The more subdued Tahoe Park and Midtown offer the ideal patios for lazy Sunday brunches. The two areas also feature great spots for those with late-night bar food cravings.
