Located in Covent Garden, the Canela is a small café which offers Portuguese and Brazilian dishes which you can admire on display at the counter, a colour mix of red, orange, brown, yellow and white.
Maybe it is not easy to get a table at busy times because of the space, but for aperitive or dinner during the week it is nice to sit next to somebody else at the long rectangular table in the centre of the room.
The place style is different from many touristic or massive ones: it is simple but cool, with an easy-going but chill-out atmosphere, with a chandelier hanging from the ceiling and a big retro-style mirror.
They have a varied offer of dishes, among them different types of chorizos, salads and desserts. I had a soup of day, a very mellow cream with pieces of vegetables served with bread and butter.
A pity that I did not try a wine, there is a big offer with bottles carefully placed at the walls like in a stock of vintage wines.

We like: the relaxed atmosphere; the view of the tempting dishes at the counter; the friendly staff.
We would like: more tables inside to seat them at, but we find that if the space were bigger and full of people, we would loose that intimate atmosphere of the place.
