Cana

Cana is a love letter to Brazil, inspired by the spirit of Rio de Janeiro and brought to life by UnOrdinary Hospitality.

Created to celebrate Brazil’s culture with authenticity and depth, Cana fills a gap long felt in Washington, D.C. While the city offers cuisines from around the world, Brazil’s vibrant culinary and social traditions have often been underrepresented or misunderstood. Cana was born to change that.

At its core, Cana is a boteco, Brazil’s neighborhood bar. Casual, soulful, and essential. A place for shared plates, easy conversation, and nights that unfold naturally.

The menu draws inspiration from Rio’s sidewalk tables, featuring dishes like charcoal-grilled picanha, coxinhas, moqueca, and feijoada, all designed for sharing. The cocktail program highlights cachaça, with a refined take on the caipirinha alongside playful, modern interpretations of Brazilian flavors.

Music and design complete the experience. Vinyl sourced from Rio sets the rhythm, while the space, inspired by Brazil’s mid-century modernists, blends warm woods, amber lighting, and hand-painted tiles.

Cana is Brazil reimagined in Adams Morgan. A celebration of culture, connection, and the beauty of the everyday
