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!

Came here for brunch with friends yesterday…the decor was very Latin, colorful, & fun. I had one of the best iced oat milk lattes I've ever had. I also got the $30 bottomless mimosas…they offer grapefruit, orange, or pineapple-I got the grapefruit & my friend got the pineapple. The tortillas were fresh, the Chaquiles Del Sol were delicious. Smaller portions than expected but the perfect amount. The wait staff was very attentive & the restaurant was clean. We all had such a hard time deciding what to get. Will definitely be back!

Great spot for brunch. Very satisfied with the experience. Unique take on breakfast with a latino twist. Service was quick & the food was very tasty. This is a sister restaurant to barranco. They also have an option for bottomless mimosas. I would definitely return again.

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…)

Always great experience, so many tasteful beverages & plates all over. I love this place, on the pricey end for a brunch but I find it worth the price

We were visiting from Chicago & stopped in for brunch because we were in the area. My husband & I shared the pollito + waffles & empanadas. It was delicious & so filling! The flavors of the pollito + waffles was so well blended & the empanada crust was so good! Our waitress, Claire, was so nice & accommodating to my dietary restrictions & the prices were affordable! I highly recommend you visit if you can!

So here is my review about this place.

1- decoration 9/10 it is nicely decorated with a touch of Latin style. Some table where not always straight.

2- Ambiance 9/10 the atmosphere & ambiance was good . A lot of people there a bar , & some front table so is outside. There is also in the back but it looks more isolated. Definitely not for a big group but if you are 4 it's perfect. The music was a bit to load that the clients beside us ask to lower the music.

3-Service 9/10 the service was good . However, the person that greeted us looked a little bit tired or wasn't having a nice day 🤷?♂?. Our waitress knew her menu & was polite with us. We did received first our plates then our drinks, when it should have been the other way around. Also , some smoothies that they had in the menu where not available.

4- Food 10/10 the food & presentation was amazing that is what makes this place. All those amazing taste . Look at the pictures.

5- Cleanest 9/10 it was clean , so was the restroom. However, I had something wet on my chair that I had to wipe out.

Overall it's a nice place to have brunch . I definitely recommend it & will be back.

The dishes are beautifully presented, creative, & packed with flavor, while the cocktails & mimosas are the perfect complement. Great service, fun music, & an overall experience that's definitely worth coming back for. Highly recommend if you're looking for something beyond the usual brunch! ✨
