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!

Great food! A bit overpriced but once in a while it doesn't hurt. The sweet bread (garibaldi) though, was dry, you could tell that it was a few days old... that would be the only bad thing I found.

We were a group of 8 people for a bachelorette party & we loved it! We stayed in Montreal for 4 days & this was one of the best places we got for food! Marie eve was wonderful, she even provided the bride with a special something at the end which we all appreciated. They provided us wonderful service & if we get the chance to come back to Montreal, we would definitely come here to eat again!

Le concept est très bien . Le décor festif. On avait de la difficulté à naviguer le menu pour faire nos choix. J'aurais aimé une option dun plat pour les petits appétits-Exemple un oeuf sur tortilla avec choix de garnitures & salade de fruits. Ils n'acceptent pas de modifier les assiettes & c'est cher si on veux essayer certaines choses. Les plats étaient consistants & interessants. Le gout faisait voyager - certains très bons & d'autres moins. Le service est trop rapide même si le resto n'est pas occupé. la nourriture est arrivée un peu tiède . On se demandait si certains aliments étaient réchauffer. Le choix de breuvages étaient intéressant.

Went there for a Sunday brunch. The service was very rapid & friendly, our waitress Marie-Eve was quite helpful & a pleasure to be serviced by her. The coffee & the food were actually very, very good with good portions & overall great experience. First time but not the last time we go there.

Si vous avez connu ce resto via Insta ou autre réseau, what you see is what you get! Il n'enjolive pas du tout la réalité. La nourriture est excellente, le service est impeccable, on vient vraiment vous voir à votre table pour vous montrer les pains maison, on vous sert une entrée de melon d'eau. J'ai vraiment adoré mon expérience & y retournerai à coup sûr! Mini (mini) bémol, la salle à manger est super jolie, mais il y faisait relativement chaud. Heureusement nous avons eu une place sur la terrasse ☺️.
