Back In The Saddle Again!
We’ve been having a blast getting underway this season, thanks to everyone who has come to show their support for the Bistro and “Local Food, Local Wine & Local People”! In light of our appreciation we’ve added a new feature to our service: Come and Enjoy “Happy Hour Specials” every Thursday, Friday & Saturday from 3pm - 5pm!

We will be out-of-town for a wedding over this upcoming weekend and therefore no services will be offered at the Bistro during this time. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and look forward to seeing you when we return!

Welcome to Canela
Canela is a charming chef owned & operated bistro, located just one hour south of Tucson within the Mountain Empire Region and Southeastern Arizona Wine Country. Open since September 2005, Canela Bistro has become a destination restaurant for locals and tourists alike. “It’s one of those small town gems that you just can't wait to share with a friend!”

Canela Bistro’s sun-drenched brick facade quickly gives way to the comfort and beauty found within. “The restaurant's ambiance just whispers of the Southwest...it has a comfortable, laid-back feel ” (-Arizona Daily Star) Native plants, richly colored textiles, pottery and artwork are tastefully displayed throughout the restaurant. In addition to the cozy main dining room and the lush garden patio, a private dining room may be available upon request.

Working with local ranchers, farmers and vintners allows these two chef owners to present menus that feature locally produced foods & wine and progress with the seasons. Canela Bistro’s Menus are also Food-Allergy, Vegetarian, Vegan and Kid Friendly! Whether you’re just treating yourself to a great meal or celebrating a special occasion, the owners and staff at Canela Bistro know exactly how to make your experience memorable!
