Canlis was the first restaurant to serve Misty Isle Farms raised beef. Canlis was also the first restaurant in the country to serve Kobe-styled Wagyu beef. 60 day aged and sometimes dry aged for 28 days.

Depending on the season and the freshest salmon available, Canlis serves Copper River Kings, Yukon River Kings, other wild and troll caught pacific kings, and farm raised kings from Creative Salmon Company Ltd. in Clayoquot Sound, British Columbia. While Canlis is always sourcing from a multitude of vendors, one reliable source is Harry Calvo at the Pure Food Fish Market in Pike Place. He began selling fish to Canlis in the 70's, and is one of Seattle's best seafood resources.

Canlis was the first fine dining restaurant in Seattle to serve fresh oysters on the half shell. (We're afraid others served them out of jars.) Today, Canlis serves the virginica from Taylor Family Shellfish, a fourth generation family owned company who has won countless awards for taste, sustainable aquatic agriculture, and caring for Puget Sound.

The Casi Cielo story: In 2003 the largest coffee company in the world came to a small, family run business to learn how to create a coffee for the finest restaurants in America. Canlis recommendation was simple: it must be socially and environmentally responsible, it must be the absolute best roast in town, it must pair with classic desserts such as lava cake and crème brulée. In the months that ensued, Starbucks focused on a program for sustainable agriculture and suggested a single source coffee called Casi Cielo. Grown by four families, each generations old, Casi Cielo embodied everything we were looking for: sustainability, fair trade, world-class flavor. Soon, a new Starbucks coffee was born. Today, Casi Cielo is the second most popular specialty coffee Starbucks offers (after Christmas blend!) and is only available the first couple months of every year. At Canlis, we serve it every night. Come try a cup of the best joe in town.
