To really enjoy it and have the full experience, you should budget $300-$400 for a couple. You could probably get away with less but it's not a place you want to go and pinch pennies. The experience is absolutely worth it.
We went for a special occasion with 4 people last October and rented a private room just for us for $150. Service was absolutely amazing, fantastic view and the food was 5 star quality. Portions are not big but in a high end gourmet place like this it's about the presentation not the quantity. Tip is included in the bill and you are not expected to add more. Our total bill which included the room rental, tip and drinks for the 4 of us came to about $850.
At least $300
The 4-course tasting menu is $115pp, plus beverages. Another way to enjoy the restaurant is to visit the lounge. They have a separate menu in the lounge which is less expensive but still fantastic. Canlis does not accept reservations for the lounge - it is available for walk-ins only, and has limited capacity, so plan ahead for peak times.
You choose from 4 different menus. 10 items in each menu. Try to pick one from each. $125 for 4 items per person. Where they get you is with the 35 page wine list. Experience of a lifetime. Hope to revisit in next 5 years
It's a 5 star experience and us priced as such. Our bill for 4 people was over $1000 excluding tip.
For 2 people, tasting menu with 2 drinks + tax and tip = 350-400$
Like mentioned before, i think at least $250 for the couple in the restaurant area. It is a tasting menu so you don't have to worry about prices for each food item. Definitely worth it, if you at least go once
