Mela Canela - Sintra

Very friendly staff, cozy, tasty eating, including gloomy!

Mela canela is a teeny vegan caffe in sintra. there is a handful of tables in the inner and some outside seats on the road from the filiale. we enjoyed the court of the day that was with kartoffeln, kohl and green salat tempeh. we also had the falafel plate that came with a tahini sauce, rice and an salat. both were pretty good and were generous portions. it was too busy, so we waited a bit for a table. In addition to hot meals, coffee drinks and desserts are served. the one we do not enjoy was the limonade, which apparently tasted, as watered lemon juice.

I guess 2022 should be the bar somewhat higher for a vegan restaurant. the menu listed a quiche or cake of the day I asked, and she said they didn't. I asked for another thing in the menu, and they didn't. the special was ratatouille with quinoa that my man got. He said it was good. I have the burger who was a kind of '90s black beans/backburger with wobble. so it was okay until soft bohnenburgers go. but for 9.50, surely it should come with a bit of salat or a few fries. but it was all alone on a plate. So all I can say is that it was vegan eating.

Offers several lunch options such as sandwiches, burgers, falafel and diner menu. the breakfast is also available.

We had the burger and the hummus sandwich and we really enjoyed it. Super friendly!
