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!

Excellent brunch!

Un grand merci au restaurant pour notre excellent brunch! Nous avions réservé pour quatre personnes, mais nous étions finalement sept. L'hôtesse Ana a été très efficace & nous a trouvé une table rapidement, malgré ce changement.
Le service a été courtois & rapide, avec beaucoup de patience, même si une partie de notre groupe est arrivée en retard.
La nourriture était délicieuse!
Nous allons définitivement revenir pour un autre brunch.

Actualización : Ma deuxième visite a confirmé que votre cuisine est toujours délicieuse ! Un grand merci au personnel en cuisine pour leur excellent travail. Sofia a servi notre groupe de six personnes avec efficacité & courtoisie, rendant notre déjeuner très agréable. Nous espérons revenir prochainement.

ASK FOR ANAËL!!!
Best brunch we've had in Montreal! We didn't have a reservation & sat at the bar & had 10/10 service. The staff was so kind & so gorgeous & the food? WHEW! So damn good. Bottomless mimosas for $30?!? Say. Less.

We drank! We laughed! We ate so much.

I had-
THE BENDIOUS FATHERS
'Hash brown' with panko-crusted pork belly & cardamom, chimichurri, chimichurri cream, fried mushrooms, perfect eggs & chicharrón

10/10 excellent portion, SUPER flavorful

He had the chicken sandwich, aka:
QUEBEC CHICKEN CEMITA
Our take on the traditional poblana cemita: Panko-crusted fried chicken sandwich served in a handmade cemita from Carlota's Bakery, topped with chipotle mayo, fresh cheddar cheese, capocollo, watercress, & avocado spread. Served with fries & chipotle mayo.

8/10 - slightly dry but super good homemade bun & aioli!

Overall, sit at the bar. It's the best & ask for the poblano mango situation as a mimosa.

Super découverte ! On est venu une première fois, accueillis par Jessie. Le brunch salé : un délice ! Des ingrédients & une cuisine typiquement mexicaine. On a voyagé à travers nos plats. On est revenu une deuxième fois, cette fois-ci accueillis par Anaël & pour goûter les desserts. On ne peut que recommander l'endroit, pour les bons plats, l'ambiance & le service. Il faut ouvrir à Québec !!
