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!

Claire nous a fourni un super service, les plats & boissons sont très bons mais un peu chers pour la taille des portions, reservation recommandée car il y a beaucoup de monde! La boisson au Chicha Morada est super bonne, belle découverte 🇵🇪

Latin brunch in the heart of the Plateau, grapefruit mimosa, garnachas filled with chicharrón prensado & requesón, cactus salad, & chilaquiles bathed in morita sauce with perfect eggs, beans, queso fresco, & red onion.
Finished with a tropical French toast layered with maracuya cream, pineapple compote, coconut crunch, & a splash of rum.
A feast that tastes like sunshine & rhythm on a plate. #PielCanela #Montreal

I had an amazing brunch experience at Piel Canela on Saint-Denis in Montreal! From the moment I walked in, I loved the interior, the decoration, the way the tables are set, the cozy bar, every small detail is so well thought out. The restaurant is spotless, & the atmosphere is super warm & welcoming.
The staff were friendly, attentive, & kept checking on us to make sure we had everything we needed.
I ordered the Bagel San Pastor & honestly, it was perfect! The combination of feta cheese, grilled pineapple, crispy garlic, & smoked salmon was absolutely 100/100! I had the latté Satinado, it was good, though I wish the white chocolate flavor was a bit stronger.
& you can't miss Pan De Muerto their famous homemade brioche, available only on weekends. So soft, flavourful & rich in orange blossom.
Overall, I highly recommend this resto if you're looking for a cozy spot for brunch with great food, friendly service, & reasonable prices.

Amazing food! Not too crowded, very kind service. My only comment is that the pistachio latte tasted like liquorice so I was disappointed about that.
Will coming again!

Came here on a Saturday morning &, at first, looking at the menu, I wasn't impressed until I actually went & tasted the food & all my doubts went away. Piel Canela has some of the best tasting food I've had. The'Las papas benditas' is FANTASTIC.

Whatever you do, get the cecina meat as a side with your breakfast. You won't regret it. Perfectly cooked meat.

I wish I got the name of the bartender/waiter who served me but, regardless, his service was amazing so if you're reading this, thank you again.

A beautiful place with food prepared by a chef, you can actually tell this is a chef's food, not any other cheap Mexican restaurant.

I saw all the great reviews online & I must say what a disappointment. The service was ok but nothing special. The drinks were good but I must say the cafe de olla was too sweet. However the food was cold & blend. The presentation was really nice so it was really upsetting to taste it & not to enjoy it at all. I actually let the server know that the food was cold & she didn't do anything about it. It's so frustrating to pay that much for what we got. Also the music was so loud that we couldn't even hear each other. I must say that I was so disappointed that I won't go back.
