Fancy

We invite you to join us for our playful exploration of flavour, that is equal parts: intuition and experience. With often primitive methods of concoction such as fermentation, smoking, raw dishes, curing, pickling and the magic and unpredictability of cooking over wood fire – all coming together with elegant execution in dishes designed for sharing and pairing. Purposefully a little disruptive, we take an approach to dining that is fun, and encourages looking at traditional ideas from a new angle. This can be anything from getting stuck in with your hands, to rehashing recipes with funky local produce. We never stand still and continue to evolve – just as fire refuses to hold a single form.

The food was outstanding but service was so poor I would never go back. I found a white hair in my food and didn’t even receive an apology. I was told no one has white hair so it was probably mine, I don’t have white hair. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant unless they get better service.

Kaandela Restaurante exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and an atmosphere that perfectly blends modernity with history. The pork belly and seafood casserole are among the best dishes I've ever had. The service was impeccable; the staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and always ready to offer recommendations that enhanced our experience. The ambiance, with its mix of casual elegance and the charm of Casco Viejo, made our dinner even more special. I’ll be back soon.
