About

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!

Piel Canela offers a vibrant and memorable brunch experience characterized by its creative, flavourful, and beautifully presented Latin-inspired dishes. Guests consistently praise the unique menu, highlighting items like the chilaquiles, pollito waffles, and various brunch cocktails. While the restaurant can get busy and is a popular spot that often requires a reservation, the welcoming atmosphere, stylish decor, and energetic music create a cozy environment. The service is frequently described as exceptional, with staff members noted for being attentive, kind, and helpful with recommendations. Although some mention that the restaurant can be on the pricier side or experience occasional noise, the overall consensus is that the high quality of food and the warm hospitality make it a must-visit destination for those looking for an elevated brunch in Montreal.

A Saturday early brunch at Piel Canela's Terrasse is what I call a perfect start of summer morning

It's such a treasure of a place. They really blend the Hispanic cuisine with the brunch culture in a way that makes you wonder, how?

Imagine you live your life thinking you've seen all the colour there is & finding out you haven't. That's what eating here is like.

The taste is phenomenal. Me & my bro came here for brunch & mind you, we hit the gym, so proteins & calories are vital. & this place hit all that for us while making it delicious. & we were stuffed.

We stared into the abyss for a while just to process what just happened. That's how good it was.

Our server Jessica was sweet & kind & helped us learn the history behind each food & made recommendations personalized to our preference.

This is a place I'm bringing all my friends visiting from u.s. because it's about time they understand how good the immigrants make our life here.

The service was very good & the ambiance too, however the food wasn't bad yet nothing special, yes, the ideas are there but the taste is forgettable. The best was Carlota's cemita bread, I never thought I was going to find that out of Puebla, MX... the inside of the'cemita quebecoise' was just ok. The drinks are way better than the boring food. Being an association with'Barranco' I thought the food was going to be better, I wouldn't go back not because the place is bad yet there is nothing special about it either, c'est moyen.

Notre expérience au Piel Canela a été très agréable. Ma conjointe & ma fille se sont régalées avec les pains dorés tropicaux, tandis que j'ai opté pour les chilaquiles. Nous avons aussi partagé les Papas Benditas &, honnêtement, tout était simplement délicieux. Le seul petit bémol serait le niveau de bruit, un peu élevé pour un brunch, ce qui rendait les conversations plus difficiles. Mis à part cela, le menu est à la fois délicieux & original.

Perfectly balanced shakshouka (it's quite a generous portion, so good to share) & wonderful service. Thank you Claire!

Edit: Came back & had the pain doré des tropiques to share & it was absolutely delicious. The best service by Eleonore!!!

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! :)
