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!

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.

Perfectly balanced shakshouka (it's quite a generous portion, so good to share) & wonderful service. Thank you Claire!

Edit: Came back & had the pain doré des tropiques to share & it was absolutely delicious. The best service by Eleonore!!!

Le Piel Canela est clairement victime de son succès, & on comprend pourquoi! On y va surtout pour le brunch coloré, autant dans l'assiette que dans la variété des boissons offertes. Les plats sont savoureux & bien présentés.

J'ai testé le Batido Horchata, mais je ne le recommande pas : le goût du horchata était très discret, presque imperceptible.

Petit bémol du côté de l'expérience en salle : dès notre arrivée, on nous a indiqué que notre groupe de 4 disposait de la table pour 1 h 30. Jusque-là, rien d'anormal, mais on nous a rappelé cette limite à deux autres reprises, même après avoir réglé l'addition, ce qui a un peu terni le moment.

Bref, allez-y pour la bouffe, c'est une belle adresse, mais sachez que votre temps à table sera minuté.
C'est d'ailleurs un commentaire qui semble revenir dans d'autres avis Google. Bien dommage.
