Food was Amazing. Truly authentic peruvian food at its best. I had the Lomo Saltado and ceviche. I cant wait to try the Seco next time, it looked deliscious! The service was excellent. We were a big party and our server Ronnie was so patient and attentive and took such good care of all of us! The restaurant itself is so beautiful. I cant wait to go back!

We had a really nice dinner at La Canela on Friday night. We started off with the octopus, which was good but not great. However, our main entrees of lomo saltado and arroz con pato were exceptional. The arroz con pato was extremely flavorful and the portion was a great size. The lomo saltado was delicious as well. The restaurant had a great atmosphere and the service was top notch. We look forward to going there again.

I went to La Canela in April of this year and the pollo saltado was so good I haven’t stopped thinking about it since (6 months later!). The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and delicious, and the rice was soft and fluffy. I have tried pollo saltado at other Peruvian restaurants and it just doesn’t compare. This place is a MUST try! I can’t wait to go back

This restaurant exceeded my expectations! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere was cozy yet elegant, perfect for both casual dining and special occasions. I highly recommend trying their Arroz marsicos— it’s a must! I’ll definitely be coming back.”

★★★★★ 5.0 Mike K · Feb 2026

Very happy we tried this restaurant. Everything from the ambiance, to the service, to the food was great. We are always looking for places that have ceviche on the menu and having a few options to choose from was a bonus. There was attention to detail with both the service and food presentation. While it was a bit on the pricey side, we did have plenty of leftovers for second meals at home. I would happily return to try more items from their menu.
