About

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!

We went for brunch on my birthday & everything was impeccable. We had the chilaquiles & the pabellòn de mi Tierra. The plates were generous & delicious. We also ordered a cafe de la Olla & Esmeralda latte, both drinks were very good. Service was quick & efficient, the staff was very welcoming & nice. Would 100% recommend.

Beautiful presentation, but thankfully the food actually lived up to it. The salmon ceviche was fresh, bright, & one of the highlights of the meal. The bistec with rice, beans, & plantains was flavourful & satisfying without feeling heavy. Even the cocktail was memorable🍹✨
