La Canela opened its doors in late 2007, with the intention of building a restaurant to share our cuisine and culture with a broader audience. Being family owned and operated: we know how important family meals are. We wish to serve food that bring families closer and makes people happy- in an environment of colonial Peru. We are pleased to have been in this business for 25 years and wish to thank our loyal customers! For our new customers, we wish to offer a small taste of our beloved Peru and we hope to be an accurate representation of our country!
Upscale restaurant serving Peruvian fare & cocktails in an elegant space with wrought-iron accents.

Service 10/10 the waitress is very kind…I wanted to try their fried fish but it wasn’t avaible so he recommended this rice with seafood ❤️ amazing…the fried pork was so tender and juicy couldn’t take a photo cause we ate it in seconds. The chef knows what he’s doing and the place was clean and gorgeous. I love it and definitely coming back soon!
Thank you so much.
Maria the server was very attentive as well. Overall a great spot for a date night.
Not being very familiar with the menu, we tried a few different items: Tallarines a la Huancaina (beef with cheese pasta) for the kids, Pulpito (octopus), and Arroz con Pato (duck with rice). Before our main courses arrived, we were served a complimentary appetizer that was absolutely amazing — so good that we nearly licked the little dish it came in! It really elevated our expectations for the meal to come.
The kids, who usually only ask for mac and cheese at restaurants, loved the pasta. The beef and sautéed onions — which they would normally refuse — were a hit, and the portion was generous enough for both kids to share (with some leftovers for me too!). The octopus was incredibly tender and flavorful — honestly one of the best I’ve had anywhere. And the duck was just as delicious.
We left feeling proud of ourselves for discovering and trying this wonderful place. And I can’t forget to mention the service — so kind and friendly that “service” doesn’t even feel like the right word. It felt more like being welcomed into someone’s home. Even when we were walking in, we were warmly greeted right away, which was such a pleasant surprise and set the tone for the rest of the afternoon.
