Last month, we welcomed 2023 by looking at which restaurants in the Boise area are the BEST of the best. To kick off February, we’re taking a trip to see the top contenders in Canyon County. 

When we put together our list for Ada County, there was a lot of variety on it. From fine dining to sushi, Italian to coffee shops, seafood to barbecue, there was a little bit of everything. Canyon County’s list looks a little bit different. Cuisine in the 2C features a lot of traditional American or Mexican foods that remind you of good home cooking.

There Are Fewer Restaurants In Canyon County than a Year Ago

Most of the restaurants on our Canyon County list are locally owned and operated. That’s why if there’s one that catches your eye, you should go support it and help these local business owners survive. In 2023, there were 11 fewer restaurants in Nampa and six fewer in Caldwell. Your support means a lot to these small businesses. Many of the businesses that closed in our area in 2022 were restaurants.
