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!

J'ai adoré le restaurant. La nourriture était excellente, comme tous les restaurants du Barranco Partners. On retrouve une belle carte de cocktails, mimosas, smoothies & café. L'ambiance est parfaite. On retrouve même au DJ sur place. Le service est très attentionné. On peut s'y rendre pour manger une petite bouchée ou pour un brunch copieux. Je recommande sans hésitations.

Just had an incredible experience at Piel de Canela in Montreal truly one of the most authentic Mexican spots I've tried outside of Mexico! The flavors, the atmosphere, & especially the service made it unforgettable.

We ordered the chilaquiles, which were absolutely perfect, & the pancakes topped with corn & popcorn such a fun & unique twist that somehow works so well. We also enjoyed authentic café de olla, full of warm spices & sweetness, & topped it all off with bottomless mimosas that kept the brunch vibes flowing.

A huge shoutout to Claire, who took such amazing care of us. Her service was warm, attentive, & made the whole meal even better. She truly elevated the experience.

If you're in Montreal & craving real Mexican flavors with standout service, this place is a must. Can't wait to go back! 🌶?✨

Très belle place, mais malheureusement l'expérience a été vraiment décevante. Nous avons attendu 25 minutes pour avoir notre table malgré une réservation, & à peine 1 heure après s'être installés, on est venus nous demander de partir parce que d'autres clients attendaient.

On nous a interrompus deux fois en cinq minutes alors que je n'avais même pas fini mon verre. Franchement, c'est inadmissible pour un brunch : on n'a même pas eu le temps de profiter du moment.

C'est dommage, car le lieu a du potentiel, mais la gestion du service & le manque de considération pour les clients gâchent complètement l'expérience.

Chilaquiles aguados y sin salsa de jitomate. No llevaron ni queso ni crema. Una salsa de licuado de frijoles de lata cono algo de habanero. Un sólo huevo. Eso por 25$.
