Welcome to Vela

Food that follows the coast.

Vela brings together bright Mediterranean flavors and the ingredients growing around us. Our kitchen cooks with fire, seasons with restraint, and serves everything for the table.

Come for a long dinner, a quick glass of wine, or no reason beyond being together.

Gather slowly. Eat well.

The kitchen

Simple ideas. Serious care.

Our approach begins with excellent ingredients and ends with food that feels generous. The cooking is precise, but the experience never feels formal.

“The best meals leave room for the people at the table.”

Vela's menu is designed to move from snacks and vegetables to seafood, handmade pasta, and dishes from the wood fire.

Private dining

Your table, your occasion.

From quiet celebrations to full-room dinners, our private dining experience brings Vela's food, service, and atmosphere together around your guests.
