We were visiting from Chicago & stopped in for brunch because we were in the area. My husband & I shared the pollito + waffles & empanadas. It was delicious & so filling! The flavors of the pollito + waffles was so well blended & the empanada crust was so good! Our waitress, Claire, was so nice & accommodating to my dietary restrictions & the prices were affordable! I highly recommend you visit if you can!

The atmosphere is vibrant, stylish, & full of positive energy, making it perfect for a relaxing weekend brunch. The dishes are beautifully presented, creative, & packed with flavor, while the cocktails & mimosas are the perfect complement. Great service, fun music, & an overall experience that's definitely worth coming back for. Highly recommend if you're looking for something beyond the usual brunch! ✨

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!

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!

We did the weekly share offering which was the bagel de hoja Santa, shakshouka de piel camera, & pancakes del amanecer. All three dishes were knockouts, & the cafe de la olla was superb. The depth of flavor across the board was stunning & unique. An absolute top tier brunch.

Service from Claire absolutely topped it off! She was so friendly & kind & made sure we had a wicked experience.

The food was so good & authentic! we tried papas benditas & it was perfect, so we went after for something sweet with le pain doré, I loved the pineapple & passion fruit flavour on it! For drinks, pizco de coco with horchata was perfectly balanced, the abrazado dulce is very light I was expecting a stronger flavor but I guess with the touch or Oreo was ok. Nice atmosphere & good service!

… 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.
