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!

I had to try this place out while vacationing in Montréal! The food & drinks were amazing & not too pricey! The atmosphere was great, they had a live dj playing music during the brunch. This is going to be a regular spot for me everytime I'm visiting!

Je suis extrêmement satisfait de mon expérience à ce beau restaurant. Toujours aussi exigeant que je suis, j'ai pu valider mes cases ✅; propreté, goût, fraîcheur, service, ambiance & bons tarifs. Je recommande cette place à toute personne qui aimerait bruncher le mariage des saveurs mexicaines & montréalaises. On a eu l'excellent service de Mlle. Sofia ! Elle était d'un professionnalisme, efficacité & sympathie. Merci merci merci ! Continuez à rayonner la gastronomie à Montréal, on reviendra.

Excellent service le personnel est trèsattentif & gentil!! Comment ne pas être heureuse avec des mimosa à volonté?! J'ai pris une assiette sucrée, je n'aurais pas du sous-estimer le sucre, mais tout était bon! Mon amie a pris le bol de haricots & c'était de loin une des meilleures choses que j'ai mangé de ma vie! Encore un énorme merci à toute l'équipe, continuez votre bon travail il est apprécié !!

No quiero ser mala pero este no es un restaurante para clientes mexicanos o latinoamericanos que buscan algo referente a su país, no es ni mexicano, ni colombiano o peruano etc. Creo que quieren hacer algo "fancy" pero no funciona, pedí unos chilaquiles ( que no sabían mal) pero tenía cara de todo menos de chilaquiles, meten todo junto en un bowl y el resultado no es el esperado. Tienen un menú muy restringido y de verdad es muy caro lo que pagas por lo que te ofrecen. Mi esposo pidió una bebida con chocolate y especias pero yo no sé si ellos prueban lo que venden antes de meterlo en el menú pero que mal sabía, lo único que me gustó fue el pain dore pero, una vez más, muy caro ...en fin no pases por ahí si lo que quieres es comer bien, en cuanto a mi paso de largo y decepcionada 😒

Piel Canela is a true gem for anyone craving high-quality, fresh Latin-inspired brunch dishes in Montreal. 📌Chocolate Conchas Their homemade Mexican sweet buns shaped like seashells, are absolutely delicious & the perfect start to your meal! 📌La Patate Bénie Crispy hash browns topped with pork belly, cardamom panko crust, chimichurri, chimichurri cream, pan-fried mushrooms, perfectly cooked eggs, & crunchy chicharrón. It's a perfect balance of flavors & textures, making it a must-try! 📌Sandwich Condorito Rich & packed with high-quality ingredients: mole brioche, duck drumstick confit with mushrooms & chancaca syrup, arugula, jalapeno vinaigrette, crispy potato, gratinated provolone cheese, & avocado spread. It's served with fries & truffle mayonnaise, creating a luxurious, satisfying experience. 📌Batido Horchata A standout-a delightful blend of horchata, espresso, coconut milk, caramel sauce, & toasted coconut, served chilled. It's the perfect way to refresh & finish your meal. ⭐️One reason for the incredible freshness & quality of the dishes is that Piel Canela has a central kitchen outside Montreal, where they prep their high-end ingredients & deliver them to their Montreal locations to be freshly assembled. If you're looking for a unique brunch experience with top-notch ingredients, Piel Canela is the place to be!

Staff is attentive & sociable. The food is well presented, filling & delicious & I also loved their cafe de olla, I wish it was bottomless! Overall nice vibe, the ambient music is a bit on the louder side though, so it's not for people who prefer a quiet meal. But I would say the quality of the food, drinks & service is worth it.
