Plusieurs clients décrivent Piel Canela comme un lieu de brunch vibrant où des plats mexicains innovants rencontrent une ambiance animée, avec des portions généreuses et un service attentif. Le menu propose des saveurs audacieuses et des associations réfléchies, allant des chilaquiles au pain doré tropical, en passant par le café de olla et les boissons à base d'horchata, tandis que la terrasse et l'intérieur chaleureux offrent un cadre accueillant pour les rassemblements. Dans l'ensemble, l'expérience mêle une nourriture délicieuse, un décor coloré et une ambiance musicale qui font de Piel Canela un choix marquant en ville.
We were very lucky to get two seats at the bar right after walking in, because the wait time is usually pretty long, so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation beforehand. Normally I don't like sitting at the bar, but it actually turned out to be a great experience & we had the waiter's attention the whole time.
The ambiance & decor are very cozy & quite different from the usual brunch spots in town.
The menu is also unique & not your typical brunch menu, so you might want some recommendations from the waiter depending on your taste. I was looking for something sweet & sour, so I ordered the POLLITO & WAFFLES, & it was really delicious. The chicken was crispy, served with tasty veggies & sauce over the waffle. The portions were also generous & very filling.
Also, the menu on Google Maps seems to be outdated.
For coffee, I ordered the CAFE DE LA OLLA. It tasted really good, although it was a bit too sweet for my taste.
My friend ordered TESORO ESCONDIDO for drink & TOSTADA DEL PACIFICO, a toasted brioche with shrimp salad, which was really tasty.
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!
… no. honestly, yeah the presentation is super aesthetically pleasing & i suppose'instagramable' < hate that phrase but the food itself? could barely stomach it. it could be that the cuisine doesn't agree with me. i personally ordered the shakshouka & my god, it was stuffed with onions to an excessive amount. like it should've been called onion stew. the flavors were way too strong, like they wanted to do too much all at once. the drink was nauseatingly sweet (a coconut blend) & what my friends ordered was also tooth rotting sweet.
the service was quite nice & the ambience was… okay? however i would not be coming back. you'd have to pay me at least $300 to come back here. even then i wouldn't touch the food esp considering how much we paid.
The service was very good & the ambiance too, however the food wasn't bad yet nothing special, yes, the ideas are there but the taste is forgettable. The best was Carlota's cemita bread, I never thought I was going to find that out of Puebla, MX... the inside of the'cemita quebecoise' was just ok. The drinks are way better than the boring food. Being an association with'Barranco' I thought the food was going to be better, I wouldn't go back not because the place is bad yet there is nothing special about it either, c'est moyen.

Positives:
- Food was excellent. Highly recommend the tropical french toast & chilaquiles.
- The girl serving us was very attentive & friendly. We sat at the bar near the entrance door & it was comfortable, even with people lined up not far from us. Not too cold either.
- Even though it was very busy, it wasn't too loud & we could hear each other.
Negative:
- The space to hang up your coat is imo too close to the entrance where people are waiting in line. It made it uncomfortable to go grab your coat or to be waiting in line while people grabbed their coat. The hostesses seemed overwhelmed by the quantity of people walking in & weren't very friendly.
Overall 4/5. It was worth it & we would definitely go again :)
Great service & very fun staff! Food was amazing & the drinks too. Emma & Ana (the bartenders) were so sweet to my friend & I when we came in for brunch, would definitely eat here again!
Très belle expérience ce matin dans ce restaurant. Un immense coup de coeur pour le service au bar : Anna & Emma étaient de véritables rayons de soleil, pleines d'énergie & de bonne humeur, ce qui a rendu le moment encore plus agréable.
Les plats étaient copieux & absolument délicieux, tout comme les boissons.
Le seul petit point négatif concerne l'hôtesse, qui semblait un peu débordé , mais ce sont des choses qui peuvent arriver. Le restaurant était très occuper. Elle a fait de son mieux.
Nous reviendrons, c'est une chose certaine !

Wow la qualité des plats & des drinks est vraiment incroyable! Le service reçu d'Emma & Anna était impéccable ...elles ont du fun derrière le bar leur énergie est contagieuse! L'ambiance est nice avec la musique latine! Je vais revenir certain pour le latte à la pistache ainsi que le pain dorée tropicale 👌🏼
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.
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.
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 friend recommended me to try there because according to her (she's Mexican), this place is authentic. I went for brunch. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a gentleman who invited me to sit by the bar. He then showed me the menu & answers some of the questions I had. I then tried their papas benditas which consisted of 2 potato'hashbrown' topped with eggs, pork belly & mushrooms, chimichuri & chimichuri cream. To my surprise, it was incredible! The pork was done to the point it was easily breakable. The potato & eggs complemented well the brunch & the mushrooms were delicious. This plate brought me happiness on this day of STM strike! Service was excellent (I even got to see him prepare food for the day haha!)! If I had a bigger appetite I would've tried more. I guess it'll be for a second visit!
Everything was good. The bartender girl is so nice. The complexity of flavours hit the spot. I didn't like the dessert that much, too many sweet ingredients combined, I would do a couple changes.
As you walk in you get a kind & welcoming environment along with service. The environment has a cool & fun athletic to it along with some cute comfy chairs, they also have a nice outdoor patio area.
The waitress is kind & brings a smile to your face.
Me & my family had the'MENU DÉGUSTATION' along with a few drinks.
.
Starting with the drinks, they are nice, refreshing, bright & layered with love. The bar tender shows attention to detail & makes sure to shower every drink love & affection without fail, the colours & taste are next level bringing a great start to every meal.
.
Next the food, the taste was amazing, they accommodated my all nut & shellfish allergy without a complaint & with care, everything we had from the soup that was soft & flavourful to the slow cooked meat that was rich & just so delicious words could not express the flavour melting on my tongue. It all had its own unique flavour & taste along with texture that just brought a whole new light to the food. If I could kiss the chef I would. The food opened my eyes to a different way of enjoying Mexican cuisine & put me on a roller coaster of emotions & flavours that made a wonderful meal for me & my family.
.
Lastly the dessert it was a soft & creamy dessert that was executed with care.
.
Every design & taste brought a new sensation to my mouth & there was no lack of attention to detail, everything had care & love to it. I will be coming back & I do recommend that if you have or haven't been you come & try (or come back).
[don't bring your pets inside please]
ASK FOR ANAËL!!!
Best brunch we've had in Montreal! We didn't have a reservation & sat at the bar & had 10/10 service. The staff was so kind & so gorgeous & the food? WHEW! So damn good. Bottomless mimosas for $30?!? Say. Less.
We drank! We laughed! We ate so much.
I had-
THE BENDIOUS FATHERS
'Hash brown' with panko-crusted pork belly & cardamom, chimichurri, chimichurri cream, fried mushrooms, perfect eggs & chicharrón
10/10 excellent portion, SUPER flavorful
He had the chicken sandwich, aka:
QUEBEC CHICKEN CEMITA
Our take on the traditional poblana cemita: Panko-crusted fried chicken sandwich served in a handmade cemita from Carlota's Bakery, topped with chipotle mayo, fresh cheddar cheese, capocollo, watercress, & avocado spread. Served with fries & chipotle mayo.
8/10 - slightly dry but super good homemade bun & aioli!
Overall, sit at the bar. It's the best & ask for the poblano mango situation as a mimosa.
