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!

Le Piel Canela est un restaurant de cuisine mexicaine moderne. Si vous cherchez un restaurant aux saveurs uniques & colorées, vous y serez comblé. L'ambiance y est parfaite, la musique est entraînante. Le service est extrêmement rapide, nous avons été suivis en moins de 15 minutes.

Ahhh, a classy brunch spot. They had a DJ spinning some elite Justin Timberlake 20/20 vibes, it hit!!! The food was great, had the duck with some sides. A cute place for a group brunch to enjoy the atmosphere & ambiance.

Oh my goodness, I just had the most AMAZING brunch at Piel Canela with my girlfriends, & it was absolutely unforgettable! The food? Wow, every single dish was a flavor explosion that left us wanting MORE! Our incredible waitress, Jessica, was an absolute star! She was so warm & attentive, making us feel so well the entire time we were there. & the absolute highlight of my day? Jessica surprised me with a "Conchita de chocolate" as my birthday cake & broke into a spontaneous rendition of Happy Birthday! It was the cherry on top that made my celebration feel truly magical. If you're on the hunt for a place that serves incredible food with top-notch service, look no further than Piel Canela. Trust me, it's the ultimate destination for an unforgettable meal! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've always loved going there for lunch or to Caifan at night, the food is really inspired by Mexico, its ingredients & flavors, the service is amazing, friendly & professional, they forgot to put the salsa on a plate but they immediately fixed it. We just celebrated my friend's bachelorette party & everyone loved it! I will continue to invite people to this place especially when they want to try Mexican food.

Super expérience! :) Ana, notre barmaid, était excellente! Elle a rendu notre expérience encore meilleure avec sa bonne humeur & son énergie positive. Super sympathique & authentique, & toujours disponible pour nous aider. La nourriture & les cafés étaient 10/10, & même les cuisiniers semblaient s'amuser à l'arrière. Bonne ambiance, bon service client & bonne qualité de la nourriture. Nous recommandons :)
