Kanela Flamenco Tapas Bar

Kanela is Melbourne's only flamenco restaurant-tapas bar that is dedicated to the art of flamenco.

Kanela is situated in the Spanish quarter of Melbourne, often brimming with a bustling vibe indulging on the traditional style of Spanish cooking, whilst being mesmerised by live flamenco performances; with regular guest performers from Spain.

Kanela offers a truly intoxicating and unique dining journey.

Kanela boasts a myriad of sensational tapas served to the visual splendour of fiery flamenco dancers. Regular performances by the 'Arte Kanela' guarantee the spice isn't reserved for just the cooking.

With the Flamenco Performing Arts Studio upstairs moulding potential flamenco dancers and musicians, there is always a presence of the spirit of creation, a power not a work, a struggle not a thought, all of which goes down ever so beautifully with a bottle of Marques Cacares and a selection of tapas.

Kanela Bar is very Spanish indeed - customers are served by Spanish staff, sip Spanish beer and sangria, munch on tapas and watch flamenco! The atmosphere welcomes all!

The first thing you notice when you walk into the front bar is the art work - a mixture of contemporary paintings, classic traditional pieces and murals that bring together the authenticity of Spain and a fusion which is Fitzroy.

It is a genuine tapas bar; where you can pull up a stool, order up a glass of Rioja and snack all night on saucy, spicy Spanish tidbits.

The bar is very well stocked with a wide selection of Spanish, international and Australian wines, spirits, liquors, ports, sherry, cocktails, beers and traditional Spanish drinks.
