“Welcome to our Bistro. Come to Topanga and let us make your visit a memorable one. Enjoy the beauty of the Canyon, enjoy our delicious menu and enjoy the moments with those close to your heart.”

The Canyon Bistro is celebrating 16 years in Topanga, Ca., located in the canyon between the valley and Malibu. It all started with nearby Cafe Mimosa 18 years ago. The Bistro comes to life from a combination of things. Our personal desire to serve gourmet type fare and the need for more dining choices in the canyon. The Canyon Bistro & Wine Bar fills that need. We welcome our local Topangans every week and welcome commuters coming through the canyon between the valley and the west side, We have an eclectic menu of gourmet comfort foods, prepared masterfully from our kitchen staff. As a life long musician/composer, I have such fond memories of all my trips to France when I was touring with various French artists as a pianist and music director. The family meal is truly that in France, when everyone comes together, no matter the schedule, to be together and share a meal. The love of that experience is what we present to you in a contemporary setting here in Topanga.

Join us for lunch and dinner Monday through Sunday. Open 7 days. You can also call for takeout and order online. Come to Topanga, come to dine with us and enjoy your friends and family under the stars. Live Music from some of the greatest musicians in L.A. on Friday nights. The Canyon Bistro…welcome home.
