About us

PIEL CANELA A BRUNCH IN MONTREAL

“Canela” is the color of our skin, a living heritage of our land.

Our skin carries the customs, roots, and traditions that shape our identity. It is the sparkle of the stars that guided us north, the hidden abundance of our mountains, and the endless blue of the sea that rocked us in childhood.

Piel Canela is more than just a Latin restaurant in Montreal, it’s an invitation to travel through culture and flavor from the heart of the Plateau Mont-Royal, on vibrant Saint-Denis Street. Our menu highlights authentic tastes: from freshly prepared ceviche to chilaquiles as flavorful as in Mexico, from colorful and creative cocktails to reinvented crêpes for brunch.

We celebrate togetherness with lunches designed for families, groups of friends, and even a special menu for children. In summer, our sunny terrace becomes a must-visit spot to share bottomless mimosas, vibrant dishes, and generous smiles.

At Piel Canela, every detail is crafted to make your moments unique: warm service, a musical atmosphere inspired by the songs of our land, and a menu that blends authenticity with creativity. Come and discover why our address has become one of Montreal’s favorite brunch destinations.

Here, food is both a celebration and a bridge between cultures.

It is the warmth of the South, served with love in the heart of the Plateau Mont-Royal!

The service was very good & the ambiance too, however the food wasn't bad yet nothing special, yes, the ideas are there but the taste is forgettable. The best was Carlota's cemita bread, I never thought I was going to find that out of Puebla, MX... the inside of the'cemita quebecoise' was just ok. The drinks are way better than the boring food. Being an association with'Barranco' I thought the food was going to be better, I wouldn't go back not because the place was bad but because there is nothing special about it either, c'est moyen.

Absolutely loved this place! The staff is amazing, & the food was so yummy & comforting. If I could recommend one food item, I would recommend the chilaquiles, & for a coffee order, I would recommend the latte that comes with the mexican spices (& bonus tip- replace the regular milk with coconut milk).

It is definitely on the pricier end, the drinks were 8$ & the food was 25-26$, but I think it was worth it, considering the quality/taste of the food, the good customer service & the great vibe (loved the spanish music they had on, & the decor)!

I'm definitely going back again! :)

The food is great. I loved the Mexican fusion idea. My issue was with the staff, they were extremely rude & pretty much kicked us out even though we had a reservation, nobody was coming in & there were plenty empty tables. The waitress also removed several of our plates & cups when we were actively eating or drinking from them. Honestly this was unacceptable, I completely understand the concept of leaving when there is a line waiting but this was completely uncalled for. We also stayed there for a bit over an hour so it is not like we were camping there either. For the price I would expect a way better service. Anyhow, first time & last time for sure

The best food I've had in Montreal in a very long time!!!!

Piel Canela's dishes are so creative & bursting with flavour. To eat, we tried Las Papas Benditas & the Pain Doré des Tropiques, both of which were sensational both in taste & presentation. For drinks, we had the Batido Horchata & the Pizca de Coco, which were generous in size for the price!

Besides the meal itself, the space was beautifully decorated, the music was nice but not too loud, & the servers were all so friendly & welcoming!

Piel Canela is not cheap, but I cannot recommend it enough for the occasional treat. Truly one of the best spots in Montreal!
