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!

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.

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.

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.

It's such a treasure of a place. They really blend the Hispanic cuisine with the brunch culture in a way that makes you wonder, how?

Imagine you live your life thinking you've seen all the colour there is & finding out you haven't. That's what eating here is like.

The taste is phenomenal. Me & my bro came here for brunch & mind you, we hit the gym, so proteins & calories are vital. & this place hit all that for us while making it delicious. & we were stuffed.

We stared into the abyss for a while just to process what just happened. That's how good it was.

Our server Jessica was sweet & kind & helped us learn the history behind each food & made recommendations personalized to our preference.

This is a place I'm bringing all my friends visiting from u.s. because it's about time they understand how good the immigrants make our life here.

Notre expérience au Piel Canela a été très agréable. Ma conjointe & ma fille se sont régalées avec les pains dorés tropicaux, tandis que j'ai opté pour les chilaquiles. Nous avons aussi partagé les Papas Benditas &, honnêtement, tout était simplement délicieux. Le seul petit bémol serait le niveau de bruit, un peu élevé pour un brunch, ce qui rendait les conversations plus difficiles. Mis à part cela, le menu est à la fois délicieux & original.
