Piel Canela

Pier Canela has inventive, flavorful, & colorful dishes, & the French toast was delicious. The restaurant is nicely decorated, but I'd suggest sitting in the front area by the bar with natural light; the rear section is dark with deep wall colors that make it feel a bit heavy. Service needs a brush up. Our bartender was friendly but very slow, & the bread meant to accompany the huevos rancheros arrived 10 minutes after our plates, when we were practically done with the dish. Maybe sitting at a table instead of the bar would bring better service, though I'm not sure. Solid food, drinks, & atmosphere, but the pacing of service kept it at 3 stars.

If you're looking for a cozy brunch spot in Montreal with amazing food, friendly service, & reasonable prices, this is an absolute must-visit. We had an 11:30 AM booking on a Saturday, & were blown away by the entire experience!

The Vibe & Service:
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 so friendly & attentive, consistently checking on us to make sure we had everything we needed.

The Food:
We shared three dishes & everything was 10/10 with amazing flavors:
• Tostada Del Pacifico: A total highlight! Grilled artisanal bread with avocado mousse, sesame sautéed shrimp, & a perfect poached egg. The radish & arugula salad gave it such a nice crunch.
• Dulce Abuelita: A crispy churro ring topped with Abuelita chocolate mousse & spiced pear. It's honestly what dreams are made of.
• La Doradita: This panko-crusted brioche French toast is elite. The coffee-chocolate sauce & horchata cream are so unique & comforting.

To Drink:
Don't skip the Mojiposa cocktail! It's a vibrant mix of rum, blueberry, & maple that is as delicious as it looks.

I was suggest to book ahead! It's a popular spot & fills up fast on weekends. 10/10 experience, I'll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!

Great brunch spot with such an easy, lively vibe. Bottomless mimosas were generous, the shakshuka was excellent, & our server Claire was so lovely. She made the whole experience blissful

Mon repas était vraiment pas terrible, peut-être parce que nous sommes arrivés presque à la fermeture de la cuisine, c'était sec & gras, j'y retournerai juste pour être sûr de moi. L'ambiance était pas mal, les cocktails étaient bon & le lieu était beau

Great spot. Definitely not your typical, boring brunch. The drink variety is a huge plus. My shakshuka was solid, & honestly, everything else looked just as good. Excellent service. I'll be back for sure.

The service was great, & the waitress was very nice. I had the shakshouka, & I found it a bit average - it needed more flavor, & the eggs were overcooked. However, the bread was good, & I would recommend any of their signature drinks; they were excellent!
