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!

Cute spot but I found it overrated. There isn't a potato I don't like but for the brunch item I got, the potato had no seasoning & I guess relied on the little sauce there & it just wasn't doing it for me. It was very filling though & I couldn't finish it. The meat on the dish was good. None of the flavors popped or wowed me. For 25$ a dish, it was meh. The coffee was subpar too.

La serveuse était très chaleureuse.
J'ai mangé du canard pour une des rares fois dans ma vie & c'était succulent!

Excellent choice for a fusion-y brunch. Had the octopus salad & the truffle mayo fries. Both were very satisfying. Also recommended - the maracuya mimosa - very potent! One glass was enough. The staff are super friendly. Will be back!
