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!

Guests consistently praise the flavorful and well-presented dishes, such as the chilaquiles and inventive sweet options, which are perfectly complemented by a wide selection of refreshing cocktails and specialty coffees.

Top tier Mexican brunch. The Benedict was amazing. Wife really enjoyed the ceviche. Service was top notch! Keep up the great work. Edo the manager was delightful. Took our constructive criticism well. The specially coffee drinks we felt were a bit lacking. Horchata felt like a watered down coffee with no horchata taste. Hopefully they will make improvements on this. Edo did remove our bill & gave us the Sweet Embrace instead which was a bit better. Thank you for the great service! Every staff member was very attentive & friendly especially Claire. Will definitely come back to this restaurant when we visit Montreal again.

Very good food. Felt like good latin American food a little elevated. The only down criticism I could say is don't get the matcha specifically the cloud coconut matcha they didn't even blend well the matcha. They just poured the pure matcha powder over the the ice. The drinks where also small portions for the price but still good.

Super tasty fresh & colorful. Can be both light or filling & nourishing. Both the fresh matcha drink & a cortado was very good.

We strolled in on a weekend in Montreal & sat at the bar.
We ordered the ceviche, chilaquiles, & lomo limeno toast. The food was great & the drinks were fabulous! Julien was an amazing bartender & made some delicious cocktails.

Def will be back & def recommend! Thank you Julien I'll see you soon brothe

The waiter was social & welcoming. The drinks looked good but were watered down 2/10, could barely taste any flavour. The chicken & waffle was good 7/10 but the waffle was really dry & fell apart when trying to eat it. The steak with eggs was a good dish, potatoes were nice & crispy 8/10. The restaurant has nice music & decor as well.

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.
