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!

We went for brunch on my birthday & everything was impeccable. We had the chilaquiles & the pabellòn de mi Tierra. The plates were generous & delicious. We also ordered a cafe de la Olla & Esmeralda latte, both drinks were very good. Service was quick & efficient, the staff was very welcoming & nice. Would 100% recommend.

We were very lucky to get two seats at the bar right after walking in, because the wait time is usually pretty long, so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation beforehand. Normally I don't like sitting at the bar, but it actually turned out to be a great experience & we had the waiter's attention the whole time.

The ambiance & decor are very cozy & quite different from the usual brunch spots in town.

The menu is also unique & not your typical brunch menu, so you might want some recommendations from the waiter depending on your taste. I was looking for something sweet & sour, so I ordered the POLLITO & WAFFLES, & it was really delicious. The chicken was crispy, served with tasty veggies & sauce over the waffle. The portions were also generous & very filling.

Also, the menu on Google Maps seems to be outdated.

For coffee, I ordered the CAFE DE LA OLLA. It tasted really good, although it was a bit too sweet for my taste.

My friend ordered TESORO ESCONDIDO for drink & TOSTADA DEL PACIFICO, a toasted brioche with shrimp salad, which was really tasty.

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.

Delicious chilaquiles. I also tried the cafe de olla & they offered a smaller dessert from the kids menu, which was perfect. Attentive service. Lovely latin music, not too loud.
