We strolled in on a weekend in Montreal & sat at the bar.
We ordered the ceviche, chilaquiles, & lomo limeno toast. The food was great & the drinks were fabulous! Julien was an amazing bartender & made some delicious cocktails.

I've been in MTL for a few months now but haven't had the chance to go out & enjoy(mostly because of work) this weekend I had the pleasure to come in sit have a drink & eat a good meal. This place is great. Julien was our bar server. He took the time to have a bunch of convos with us & to suggest other great spots. The negroni I had was incredible & the food was top notch. Def will be back & def recommend! Thank you Julien I'll see you soon brothe

The waiter was social & welcoming. The drinks looked good but were watered down 2/10, could barely taste any flavour. The chicken & waffle was good 7/10 but the waffle was really dry & fell apart when trying to eat it. The steak with eggs was a good dish, potatoes were nice & crispy 8/10. The restaurant has nice music & decor as well.

So here is my review about this place.

1- decoration 9/10 it is nicely decorated with a touch of Latin style. Some table where not always straight.

2- Ambiance 9/10 the atmosphere & ambiance was good . A lot of people there a bar , & some front table so is outside. There is also in the back but it looks more isolated. Definitely not for a big group but if you are 4 it's perfect. The music was a bit to load that the clients beside us ask to lower the music.

3-Service 9/10 the service was good . However, the person that greeted us looked a little bit tired or wasn't having a nice day 🤷?♂?. Our waitress knew her menu & was polite with us. We did received first our plates then our drinks, when it should have been the other way around. Also , some smoothies that they had in the menu where not available.

4- Food 10/10 the food & presentation was amazing that is what makes this place. All those amazing taste . Look at the pictures.

5- Cleanest 9/10 it was clean , so was the restroom. However, I had something wet on my chair that I had to wipe out.

Overall it's a nice place to have brunch . I definitely recommend it & will be back.

We went for brunch on my birthday & everything was impeccable. We had the chilaquiles & the pabellòn de mi Tierra. The plates were generous & delicious. We also ordered a cafe de la Olla & Esmeralda latte, both drinks were very good. Service was quick & efficient, the staff was very welcoming & nice. Would 100% recommend.

Was given 2 choices at reservation - urban or a more elevated experience. I went with urban as it was for a casual meal. However, this ended up meaning dining on the Barranco restaurant side - I knew they shared spaces & the Piel Canela menu during the day, so figured it was fine. Though I ended up a bit disappointed - the menu knowledge by the staff seemed to be lower, I had some questions about the menu & couldn't really get many answers. It also felt like all dishes had sat under a heat lamp for a while before being served - I think due to the fact that the kitchen seemed to be on the Piel Canela side, so maybe sat longer. Eggs were somehow slimy & gummy, runny on the outside but overcooked inside. Ordering coffee & drinks also took an extremely long time & those were made on the Barranco side, all coffee was served barely warm.

I had eaten in the Piel Canela space before & had amazing service & menu knowledge, so I was definitely disappointed by the service received on the Barranco side. I had brought my family there for the first time to show them a great experience & left feeling underwhelmed.

Food still tasted great overall, though. I will definitely return but ensure to book Piel Canela instead.

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.
