Canela Review

The parquet flooring, upholstered chairs, diaphanous drapes, and flower arrangements hint at class, not trendiness; the cream-colored baby grand confirms it. The restaurant sees itself as a pioneer in kosher fine dining (no contradiction anymore). That will hardly affect your meal, but your fellow diners may include religiously observant Jews celebrating a night out. Great starters include the sauteed mushrooms, the carpaccio of veal fillet, and the foie gras terrine. The deliberately restrained entrée menu offers a pasta dish and a couple of interesting fish dishes, but more variety for meat eaters. The beef tongue in mushroom sauce is quite creative, as is the pullet steak with sweet chili, mango, and coconut cream.
