If the name seems puzzling look to Portugal, where Canela means cinnamon, and the subtle flavour is a big draw with cinnamon sticks used to stir coffee, thereby imparting their characteristic aroma. Closer home you'd find a café with two outlets, in Covent Garden and Carnaby, great places for those who are on a budget, yet looking for something exciting on the menu.

The cooking skews more towards the Brazilian and Spanish frontiers and the menu unfolds salads, quiches and sandwiches stuffed with chorizo, parmesan and roquette; grilled chicken and melted cheese with tomato, and smoked ham and brie. Main courses might feature a feijoada, black bean stew with smoked meats and served with rice and farofa, and prawns cooked with dende oil and coriander in a coconut milk and cassava sauce. Desserts are of the classic variety, like the Portuguese custard tart and coconut and lemon Brazilian sweet.
