The Cannery Kitchen & Social celebrates Canada's vibrant history and roots on the East Coast. This celebration is influenced by a time when the industry's canning of fish had boomed and the Saint John River was frequently navigated as a channel for exports. Canneries provided a significant source of income for locals while also attracting a global workforce. With a nod to a slower pace of life, we welcome guests to relax and enjoy food and drinks in our Canadian restaurants.

Vela has been on the list of places to visit for some time. Since Marvin left 7Enoteca in Oakville and took the helm at Vela, we have wanted to get round to check it out. Fortunately today we were able to dine at Vela and it did not disappoint! (Other than Marvin not being in for todays service). The environment is stunning. The food is amazing. The service was attentive. (Many thanks Sandy, not only on the food advice, but the wine advice as well!) We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and look forward to returning to try the tasting menu at the counter. That type of experience is right up our alley!
