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!

Thoroughly enjoyed the food! Loved the Mexican ingredients. It's a good break from all the eggs Benedicts that every other brunch place serves.
The flavour combinations were soo good! Love the use of texture by adding crunchy & soft components in the dishes.
Would definitely go back!

Ouf, 100/10, l'endroit, la nourriture n'est pas seulement très bien présentée mais elle est DÉ-LI-CIEUSE! Des bonnes portions, le prix est représentatif de la qualité qu'on te sert.

The food was great, & we loved the atmosphere. However, the service was unpleasant. We made a reservation, & halfway through our meal, the waitress started rushing us & even brought the bill. We ended up having to rush through the entire dining experience in ONE hour. Meanwhile, the table next to us, which had arrived before us, was still there when we left. Instead of leaving a 20% tip, we probably should have left only 10%, especially considering the waitress's attitude from beginning.

This place is completely overrated! I was really looking forward to trying this restaurant but unfortunately the experience was disappointing. The moment we sat on the table the server said was- I have a reservation at 12 is that ok? - & this was 10:40 am. It immediately felt like I was being rushed before I evant sat down. Because of this, we felt pressured to eat quickly, which made it hard to actually enjoy the meal. The food itself was okay but nothing special. The overall atmosphere felt unwelcoming. Not coming back.

Milan was a fantastic server. Very good at explaining all the meals, & super quick on the refills for bottomless mimosas. The food is so far the best we've had all year. You can't miss the shakshouka.

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.
