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.

    After getting the suggestion from my sister, I booked immediately for my friends and I. I wanted somewhere nice to celebrate my birthday and Kaandela did not disappoint! All of the staff were very attentive to our table and Luis made sure our meals were to our liking. Unfortunately, I could finish my octopus and corn because I wasn't expecting such a huge portion so, to the chef, it was AMAZING and I really wanted to eat it all but I was so full already from the pork lollipops! Excellent food, excellent service, excellent staff 🖤 From my friends and I, Thank you.
