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!

Had great service by Anael at the bar. Service was quite fast for a full house on a Sunday. I took a regular mimosa but their list of cocktail looks insane; I'll have to come back to try

La nourriture est vraiment excellente mais le service que nous avons reçu ne donne aucunement envie d'y retourner. Nous avons été servis par une certaine Victoria qui nous mis dehors alors que je n'avais pas terminé de manger & ma soeur n'avait pas terminé sa boisson. En arrivant on vous dit que vous avez la table pour 1h30 & en arrivant à 11h30 on nous déposait l'addition à 12h10 en essayant de nous débarrasser sans demander. Nous avons payé en laissant un très petit pourboire car ça se mérite, & Victoria m'a arraché la machine des mains en nous disant "au revoir" d'un ton désagréable alors que nous n'avions toujours pas terminé nos boissons. À 12h20 elle vient nous dire "Va falloir partir parce qu'on a une autre réservation qui arrive" donc 40min avant ma fin de notre temps réservé & avec 4 autres tables vide & plusieurs autres en terrasse & au bar. Un service inadmissible pour fidéliser la clientèle. Je ne recommande donc que si vous ne tomber pas sur elle, le reste du staff avait l'air correct

J'y suis allée pour bruncher & j'ai adoré! Le lieu est beau, l'ambiance était bien avec le DJ. Très beau bar. Mon mimosa était délicieux. J'ai pris la crêpe & je pense que c'est l'une de mes meilleures à vie. Le plat était magnifique. J'y retournerai cet été pour expérimenter la terrasse.

My partner made a reservation to celebrate our anniversary & had requested a table since I have back problems. At the restaurant they instead assigned us to the bar. We would have loved to eat there but had to leave since it would have been very uncomfortable for me sit a the bar. This is a very small restaurant with mostly bar seating. If you do want to try this place make sure to make a reservation, get there well in advance to get parking & verify that you have the correct table.

Barranco Partners have yet to disappoint with yet another addition to their stellar catalogue of restaurants under their belt. This time they have opted for a cozy & soul-warming brunch option! Highly recommend!!
