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!

Excellent brunch!

Un grand merci au restaurant pour notre excellent brunch! Nous avions réservé pour quatre personnes, mais nous étions finalement sept. L'hôtesse Ana a été très efficace & nous a trouvé une table rapidement, malgré ce changement.
Le service a été courtois & rapide, avec beaucoup de patience, même si une partie de notre groupe est arrivée en retard.
La nourriture était délicieuse!
Nous allons définitivement revenir pour un autre brunch.

Actualización : Ma deuxième visite a confirmé que votre cuisine est toujours délicieuse ! Un grand merci au personnel en cuisine pour leur excellent travail. Sofia a servi notre groupe de six personnes avec efficacité & courtoisie, rendant notre déjeuner très agréable. Nous espérons revenir prochainement.

Outre la musique qui est un peu forte. C'est un excellent restaurant pour les brunchs avec des sauveurs au delà des attentes! La présentation des plats est d'une finesse exceptionnelle.

J'ai bien hâte d'y retourner pour le souper.

As you walk in you get a kind & welcoming environment along with service. The environment has a cool & fun athletic to it along with some cute comfy chairs, they also have a nice outdoor patio area.
The waitress is kind & brings a smile to your face.
Me & my family had the'MENU DÉGUSTATION' along with a few drinks.
.
Starting with the drinks, they are nice, refreshing, bright & layered with love. The bar tender shows attention to detail & makes sure to shower every drink love & affection without fail, the colours & taste are next level bringing a great start to every meal.
.
Next the food, the taste was amazing, they accommodated my all nut & shellfish allergy without a complaint & with care, everything we had from the soup that was soft & flavourful to the slow cooked meat that was rich & just so delicious words could not express the flavour melting on my tongue. It all had its own unique flavour & taste along with texture that just brought a whole new light to the food. If I could kiss the chef I would. The food opened my eyes to a different way of enjoying Mexican cuisine & put me on a roller coaster of emotions & flavours that made a wonderful meal for me & my family.
.
Lastly the dessert it was a soft & creamy dessert that was executed with care.
.
Every design & taste brought a new sensation to my mouth & there was no lack of attention to detail, everything had care & love to it. I will be coming back & I do recommend that if you have or haven't been you come & try (or come back).

The French toast hit a spot I didn't know it even existed 😁

ASK FOR ANAËL!!!
Best brunch we've had in Montreal! We didn't have a reservation & sat at the bar & had 10/10 service. The staff was so kind & so gorgeous & the food? WHEW! So damn good. Bottomless mimosas for $30?!? Say. Less.

We drank! We laughed! We ate so much.

I had-
THE BENDIOUS FATHERS
'Hash brown' with panko-crusted pork belly & cardamom, chimichurri, chimichurri cream, fried mushrooms, perfect eggs & chicharrón

10/10 excellent portion, SUPER flavorful

He had the chicken sandwich, aka:
QUEBEC CHICKEN CEMITA
Our take on the traditional poblana cemita: Panko-crusted fried chicken sandwich served in a handmade cemita from Carlota's Bakery, topped with chipotle mayo, fresh cheddar cheese, capocollo, watercress, & avocado spread. Served with fries & chipotle mayo.

8/10 - slightly dry but super good homemade bun & aioli!

Overall, sit at the bar. It's the best & ask for the poblano mango situation as a mimosa.

I have come here before & the food here is amazing & the servers are really nice.

But the reason why I am giving it 3 stars at the moment is that this time we came during summer & were sat in the terrace, the way the terrace is build It has absolutely no shade is just transparent plastic roofing & the problem with this is that it makes it feel like a greenhouse, very uncomfortable & hot, the table burn to the touch, we had to go because it was impossible to be able to sit there for too long without cooking in the heat 😔 it was very disappointing. I suggest you guys change the roof to provide more shade specially knowing how hot summer's in Montreal can get. If the terrace is not fixed I would suggest asking the server fora table inside instead, unfortunately this time there was no table inside available when we asked & when we left one open up as I was paying for my drinks but my friends already had moved on to a different restaurant that had indoor sitting 🥲
