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!

Review Summary

Piel Canela offers a vibrant and memorable brunch experience characterized by its creative, flavourful, and beautifully presented Latin-inspired dishes. Guests consistently praise the unique menu, highlighting items like the chilaquiles, pollito waffles, and various brunch cocktails. While the restaurant can get busy and is a popular spot that often requires a reservation, the welcoming atmosphere, stylish decor, and energetic music create a cozy environment. The service is frequently described as exceptional, with staff members noted for being attentive, kind, and helpful with recommendations. Although some mention that the restaurant can be on the pricier side or experience occasional noise, the overall consensus is that the high quality of food and the warm hospitality make it a must-visit destination for those looking for an elevated brunch in Montreal.

Review edited: used to be great, likely won't go back.
Original:
the food was great, very original & the service was great too!
thanks Xavier & Ana for making it a great experience

Edit:
This used to be one of my favourite brunch spots in montreal. Now when trying to get a reservation you speak with an'human voice like' A.I, or asking all the information in the world (you guys should add mother's maiden name & SIN too since you're at it…)

Our servers Jessica & Edo were very kind & hospitable. Our food was absolutely delicious & exciting to eat. I am visiting Montreal from the USA for a birthday trip, & this was our best dining experience so far. Thank you Piel Canela! See you again soon.

Highly recommend this place. I visited with friends from the US & this was our first time in Montreal. Wonderful atmosphere, beautiful decor & great food. We were greeted with kindness & were very attended to. I had the chilaquiles, matcha latte & fruit bowl. Everything was delicious! If you are visiting Montreal or live in the city, I would highly recommend this restaurant. Edo & Jessica were amazing !

The waiter was social & welcoming. The drinks looked good but were watered down 2/10, could barely taste any flavour. The chicken & waffle was good 7/10 but the waffle was really dry & fell apart when trying to eat it. The steak with eggs was a good dish, potatoes were nice & crispy 8/10. The restaurant has nice music & decor as well.

La serveuse Claire assure. Très sympa.
Je regrette un peu le manque de choix végétariens. J'ai dû me rabattre sur le pain perdu qui était trop sucré à mon goût.
Mais au delà des détails. J'aime beaucoup l'endroit, la nourriture est très raffinée & les assiettes sont très jolies.

Our go-to place for brunch! Everything on the menu is unique, with generous portions & amazing flavors. We love the creativity & innovation behind each dish - it's always a delicious & memorable experience.
P.S. It's much easier if you reserve in advance.
