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!

For me, this is a new concept for brunch restaurant, a fancy mexican brunch place. Well, I tried chilaquiles & they were good but kinda small plate for me. We also order the sandwich condorito & it was also good. I have to say it's a bit pricy but like the concept is different, I will come back to try other plates & also the cappuccino tres leches...

Visit again today , I never tired something done well .(Sep 2024) We visit agian , as good as usual.(July 27 2024) Subvert the framework of instagramable restaurants that only eat the decoration but not the food. A Mexican breakfast full of ritual! Mimosa has great flavors to offer, & all kinds of breakfast styles are very special. The Mexican crispy pork is great, with two large pieces of pork floss potato pie, & it is a complete feast.(May 2024)

Our waitress Jessica took such good care of us! This was a perfect brunch & she made it even better than expected. We will certainly come back the next time we're in Montreal & we will ask to sit with Jessica.

Went for brunch on the terrasse. Nice chill ambiance, the server was very nice & knew the menu very well! She recommended the octopus salad & it was delicious! Food is very flavourful. I also got the Ritmo de la Selva, the kiwi & cucumber smoothie, & it was also very good & esthetic.

The food is amazing! Menu changes now & then, but everything I have tried has been delicious. Chilaquiles are my personal favorite. All drinks & cocktails are delicious. I wouldn't recommend getting bottomless mimosas, but everything else is a big YES! Service is wonderful & the ambiance is super nice. One of my new favorite spots!

Food was excellent - innovative & delicious. We showed up for Sunday brunch without a reservation. We were given seats at the bar, but were pretty much completely ignored by the bartenders the entire time. A couple of random staff members (including the hostess & the manager) did eventually stop by to check on us, so we were able to get our orders in that way. The food & drinks were great, but I did find a piece of plastic in my sandwich, for which the friendly manager was apologetic & offered to remove it from our bill. I probably wouldn't have cared about the DJ's loud coughing from directly behind us if things had been better to begin with. Ultimately, I would have preferred to have been turned away at the door rather than seated & provided with inadequate service. Reservations strongly recommended - other customers seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Nous étions 5 personnes dans la terrasse malheureusement, il n'avait pas la possibilité de coller des tables pour faire une table por 5 places. Il a fallu manger séparément. Le goût de la nourriture est bonne mais les plats sont petits & chers. Au final,on s'est fait dire à deux reprises de quitter la place, même si on venez juste de commander un café. La serveuse nous a même dit à la fin que nous comptions seulement avec une heure & demie pour manger. Je trouve ca vraiment impoli vers les clients. Personne nous avait dit rien au début.

Service très accueillant & patient. Les boissons sont vraiment bonnes & joliment présentées. Je recommande fortement la boisson au ube & horchata. Beau décor. Les plats sont bons & le service a été rapide. Les assiettes végétariennes peuvent manquer un peu en comparaison avec leurs plats à la viande.

Beautiful place & delicious brunch, the coffee with Mazapan is just out of this world.I had the papa bendita & i think a tear came out of my eye while eating it. My sister had the chilaquiles which I had some & they were super good. This place is something special

It was simply delicious. Very flavourful. The Shakshouka was too spicy for me & the staff agreed to change my dish. I took the chilaquiles & it was a delight! The coffee & smoothie were great as well. We enjoyed every sip! Staff was very nice as well. Amazing experience overall. We will go again for sure.

Food is good, not spicy. Good service but unfortunately it's expensive for simple Mexican food.
