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!

Decided on this Latin flavour based brunch place to treat our family for birthdays. Did not disappoint. Being a group of 6 we sampled a lot of the menus. Everything served was absolutely beautiful, familiar flavours of our vacations throughout Mexico but elevated. Highly recommend for a group as there are just so many options. Sweet, savoury, tangy. Lovely cocktails smoothies, & special coffees. They were unfortunately out of pastries so we have to go back to try the little piggies!

We sat at the bar since we did not have a reservation & loved chatting with Ana while she made drinks & shared her favorites for us to try. The duck entrees were fantastic, nice & juicy, cooked perfectly. Their version of espresso martini is the best I've ever had!! Very smooth & well balanced. Highly recommend checking them out for brunch. Everything is well prepared & the attention to detail is impeccable. Cheers!!!

We had a great time at Piel Canelle. It was our first time on the terrasse. The food was excellent. The pancakes to die for. The drinks not only looked refreshing but were little works of art. Better than the 5 star hotel terrasse we visited afterwords. Highly recommend. I had the shakshouka. Tasty. Spicy. Will definitely re visit.

I had heard about the place from knowing the owners other locations, I'd also seen it all over social media & it held up to the hype. The decor, drinks, service were amazing, the menu is such out of the box brunch food, it's refreshing. Highly recommend!
