Piel Canela

We were very lucky to get two seats at the bar right after walking in, because the wait time is usually pretty long, so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation beforehand. Normally I don't like sitting at the bar, but it actually turned out to be a great experience & we had the waiter's attention the whole time.

The ambiance & decor are very cozy & quite different from the usual brunch spots in town.

The menu is also unique & not your typical brunch menu, so you might want some recommendations from the waiter depending on your taste. I was looking for something sweet & sour, so I ordered the POLLITO & WAFFLES, & it was really delicious. The chicken was crispy, served with tasty veggies & sauce over the waffle. The portions were also generous & very filling.

Also, the menu on Google Maps seems to be outdated.

For coffee, I ordered the CAFE DE LA OLLA. It tasted really good, although it was a bit too sweet for my taste.

My friend ordered TESORO ESCONDIDO for drink & TOSTADA DEL PACIFICO, a toasted brioche with shrimp salad, which was really tasty.

Pier Canela has inventive, flavorful, & colorful dishes, & the French toast was delicious. The restaurant is nicely decorated, but I'd suggest sitting in the front area by the bar with natural light; the rear section is dark with deep wall colors that make it feel a bit heavy. Service needs a brush up. Our bartender was friendly but very slow, & the bread meant to accompany the huevos rancheros arrived 10 minutes after our plates, when we were practically done with the dish. Maybe sitting at a table instead of the bar would bring better service, though I'm not sure. Solid food, drinks, & atmosphere, but the pacing of service kept it at 3 stars.

If you're looking for a cozy brunch spot in Montreal with amazing food, friendly service, & reasonable prices, this is an absolute must-visit. We had an 11:30 AM booking on a Saturday, & were blown away by the entire experience!

The Vibe & Service:
From the moment I walked in, I loved the interior-the decoration, the way the tables are set, & the cozy bar. Every small detail is so well thought out. The restaurant is spotless, & the atmosphere is super warm & welcoming. The staff were so friendly & attentive, consistently checking on us to make sure we had everything we needed.

The Food:
We shared three dishes & everything was 10/10 with amazing flavors:
• Tostada Del Pacifico: A total highlight! Grilled artisanal bread with avocado mousse, sesame sautéed shrimp, & a perfect poached egg. The radish & arugula salad gave it such a nice crunch.
• Dulce Abuelita: A crispy churro ring topped with Abuelita chocolate mousse & spiced pear. It's honestly what dreams are made of.
• La Doradita: This panko-crusted brioche French toast is elite. The coffee-chocolate sauce & horchata cream are so unique & comforting.

To Drink:
Don't skip the Mojiposa cocktail! It's a vibrant mix of rum, blueberry, & maple that is as delicious as it looks.

I was suggest to book ahead! It's a popular spot & fills up fast on weekends. 10/10 experience, I'll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!

Mon repas était vraiment pas terrible, peut-être parce que nous sommes arrivés presque à la fermeture de la cuisine, c'était sec & gras, j'y retournerai juste pour être sûr de moi. L'ambiance était pas mal, les cocktails étaient bon & le lieu était beau

Great spot. Definitely not your typical, boring brunch. The drink variety is a huge plus. My shakshuka was solid, & honestly, everything else looked just as good. Excellent service. I'll be back for sure.

The service was great, & the waitress was very nice. I had the shakshouka, & I found it a bit average - it needed more flavor, & the eggs were overcooked. However, the bread was good, & I would recommend any of their signature drinks; they were excellent!

We did the weekly share offering which was the bagel de hoja Santa, shakshouka de piel camera, & pancakes del amanecer. All three dishes were knockouts, & the cafe de la olla was superb. The depth of flavor across the board was stunning & unique. An absolute top tier brunch.

Service from Claire absolutely topped it off! She was so friendly & kind & made sure we had a wicked experience.

Leur chilaquiles ont une touche d'originalité par rapport à la recette originale mais sont très délicieux. La viande en supplément est la meilleure partie du plat. Les pâtisseries de Carlota y sont aussi servies !

The food was so good & authentic! we tried papas benditas & it was perfect, so we went after for something sweet with le pain doré, I loved the pineapple & passion fruit flavour on it! For drinks, pizco de coco with horchata was perfectly balanced, the abrazado dulce is very light I was expecting a stronger flavor but I guess with the touch or Oreo was ok. Nice atmosphere & good service!

J'ai expérimenté aujourd'hui le Piel canela. J'avais en tête d'aller bruncher. Comment dirais -je. J'ai aimé l'audace des plats c'était savoureux mais je m'attendais à un plus grand choix au niveau des plats breakfast .Je n'y retournerais pas pour le petit-déjeuner mais pour essayer un dîner ou simplement pour un excellent café. D'ailleurs c'est le meilleur café Latté à la pistache que jau goûté.
