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!

The salade Costena de Pieuvre (octopus) salad was an absolute dream. The combination between the little kick of the Mexican adobo & the crunchiness of the jicama with the sweetness of the pineapple, the freshness of the baby arugula!

Went for brunch with friends. The food was really good, & the service was amazing. The restaurant is also cute.

My only regret is that the portions were quite small for the price (with the exception of the Chilaquiles Piel Canela which was a decent side). Small sides included with the main dishes wouldn't have hurt.

This was my second time here for breakfast, & I'm as impressed as the first time. They have delicious coffee & the food is absolutely amazing. Flavors from Mexico, fresh & delicious. The service is also amazing, the staff is super friendly & they welcomed us back as if we were part of the family.

I was looking forward to trying this spot , & made a trip into the city for it. Unfortunately, the experience was a let down. The food was just okay not memorable. For the price paid - I expected better quality. The service also was only okay - our waitress didnt seem very engaged or helpful. Although the hostess & servers were nice! What frustrated me the most is being told to order soon because the table is reserved for another party. That immediately made us feel rushed! I think this should be mentioned during the reservation process , not after the reservation is made.
For the price & effort to get there, I expected better food & more thoughtful service.

Everything was good. The bartender girl is so nice. The complexity of flavours hit the spot. I didn't like the dessert that much, too many sweet ingredients combined, I would do a couple changes.

One of the best restaurant experiences we have had. Eclectic & vibrant brunch scene with a dj spinning. Excellent & inventive food options with balanced seasoning & good presentation. Staff went above & beyond after a small mistake with the order. Really felt like they cared & customer satisfaction was important. Highly recommend.
