Canela

Canela is a dinner restaurant at Finca El Puntal, in Los Belones, beside the road to La Manga Club. Set within an equestrian club, it combines Mediterranean and Mexican cuisine. Customers most often discuss that mix, the country setting and the horse shows held on some evenings.

Two cuisines on one menu

The Mexican dishes are among the most praised, described by customers as authentic Mexican cooking, far removed from the commercial version. The Mediterranean selection includes meat and fish, with lamb chops among the dishes mentioned, while strudel appears in more than one dessert review. There is a children's menu and vegetarian options.

A place for a leisurely dinner

There are outdoor tables and a peaceful atmosphere. Many people choose it for a special dinner for two or for celebrations, as it accommodates large groups. Some evenings feature horse shows. Service is generally well rated, although one review complains of long waits.

Opening hours and directions

Canela opens only in the evening, every day of the week, closing a little earlier on Sundays. Bookings are accepted. It is on the road up to La Manga Club from Los Belones, near the golf course. The entire route, from parking and entrance to dining room and toilets, is wheelchair accessible. For more dinner ideas, see restaurants in La Manga.
