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!

Absolutely loved this place! The staff is amazing, & the food was so yummy & comforting. If I could recommend one food item, I would recommend the chilaquiles, & for a coffee order, I would recommend the latte that comes with the mexican spices (& bonus tip- replace the regular milk with coconut milk).

It is definitely on the pricier end, the drinks were 8$ & the food was 25-26$, but I think it was worth it, considering the quality/taste of the food, the good customer service & the great vibe (loved the spanish music they had on, & the decor)!

I'm definitely going back again! :)

The best food I've had in Montreal in a very long time!!!!

Piel Canela's dishes are so creative & bursting with flavour. To eat, we tried Las Papas Benditas & the Pain Doré des Tropiques, both of which were sensational both in taste & presentation. For drinks, we had the Batido Horchata & the Pizca de Coco, which were generous in size for the price!

Besides the meal itself, the space was beautifully decorated, the music was nice but not too loud, & the servers were all so friendly & welcoming!

Piel Canela is not cheap, but I cannot recommend it enough for the occasional treat. Truly one of the best spots in Montreal!

Bottomless mimosas qui valent la peine, liste de lecture musicale qui met l'ambiance (Merci Emma!) & beau décor! Merci!

Love the music, the Molito Amarillo & the Waffles are absolutely amazing, the bartender Ana makes the whole experience even better.

Tutto molto buono, ho apprezzato soprattutto las papas benditas e i chilaquiles, anche il french toast era buono. Prezzi un po' sopra la media. Musica troppo alta e nel menù i termini in spagnolo non erano spiegati portandoci spesso o a chiedere delucidazioni o a cercare su Google, basta mettere una piccola descrizione tra parentesi per rendere il menù comprensibile a tutti e magari insegnargli qualche termine in una nuova lingua. Più che un brunch però per me è meglio come pranzo a sé stante vero e proprio. Non abbiamo assaggiato le bevande

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.

I saw all the great reviews online & I must say what a disappointment. The service was ok but nothing special. The drinks were good but I must say the cafe de olla was too sweet. However the food was cold & blend. The presentation was really nice so it was really upsetting to taste it & not to enjoy it at all. I actually let the server know that the food was cold & she didn't do anything about it. It's so frustrating to pay that much for what we got. Also the music was so loud that we couldn't even hear each other. I must say that I was so disappointed that I won't go back.

Hoy fuimos a comer a''Piel Canela'' y solo tengo cosas positivas que mencionar:

1) Llegamos sin reservación una mesera muy gentilmente nos permitió ocupar una mesa mientras llegaban los clientes de la reservación

2) La comida deliciosa y tragos ricos, se nota el amor que le ponen a todo el menú.

3) Pueden ver cómo preparan los platos, es tal cual como si te sentaras alrededor de la barra de la cocina de tu casa a esperar que tu familia cocine

4) Es precioso el restaurante, mil puntos para el diseno de interior.

5) Es evidente que el equipo está muy bien coordinado para atender las mesas, cada persona tiene una función.

6) Le han puesto tanto amor a su proyecto que hasta la música que escuché en el bano, tiene sentido con el concepto del sitio.

Gente de''Piel Canela'', les deseo muchos comensales, mucha prosperidad y que el amor que ponen en cada plato se siga multiplicando de formas maravillosas en sus vidas.

The food was delicious, the service was great & we had an amazing time! My personal favourite was the golden latte & we loved the music too (there was a DJ). Milan was our server & he was so friendly & answered all our questions about the menu :)

Food was great & our waitress was very nice, but I will never understand why restaurants play very loud club-like music. There was literally a dj on a Sunday morning & it was hard to hear the person in front of me. If this is what you like, then great, but it's not for me.

A must try! Portions are small but very rich in flavor & color. We were just looking at everyone's order around us. The mix of tastes with the artistic play of colors satisfies all senses! It was not pricy as I imagined. The beverages were unique. They have a great chef! I ordered Salade Costena de Pieuvre. It was full of Octopus meat & very tasty. My friend had the French Toast & she said it was very light & not comparable to anything she has tried before! It was served with an apple sauce, she felt it tasted like heaven I highly recommend it. Its small you've better reserve. The vibes are great for young people. The music is a bit loud if you look for a cozy place. I really admired the interior design. You will not be disappointed! I don't recommend to go with a kid!
