Reviews for Canela

Sorry for vagueness but this was a random lunchtime discovery on a rainy wet day. Rain was falling, sandwiches were calling. So I went inside.

I think the place was Brazillian or Portuguese. Not exactly a bar or a restaurant. Let's call it a wine bar; it was small inside with lots of dark wood and racks of wine on the walls. I recall thinking, "hmmm this might be a nice place for a drink sometime".

I chose my baguette (chorizo and mozarella) from a selection in the window and then saw something strange and doughy looking. The waiter explained it was delicious. Made from traditional tapioca flour and stuffed with all sorts of yummy savoury stuff (which I can't recall). Looked good but I remained firm and stuck with the baguette.

Baguette was delicious. A tiny bit pricey for takeaway, £4.50. But one day soon I'll retrace my steps and hopefully carry out further experiments in tapioca flour.

Sounds great! I actually walked past this place last week and was curious. Add to list!
