Latin Flavours Meet Montreal
Everything about us tells the story of two worlds coming together on a single plate, where Mexican-born Chef Karla Guzmán translates authentic Latin recipes into brunch experiences that honour Montreal’s distinctive culinary identity. You’ll uncover Puerquitos de Piloncillo cookies, combining traditional piloncillo with Quebec maple syrup. Even our beverages reflect this fusion, from traditional café de olla made with cinnamon and piloncillo, to tropical mimosas featuring passion fruit. Pastries arrive fresh from Carlota Artisanal Bakery, ensuring every bite connects Latin American warmth with Montreal craftsmanship. Chef Guzmán reinterprets the classic mole using local Canadian ingredients, demonstrating her commitment to celebrating both her heritage and her adopted home. Our commitment to Latin traditions and innovative hospitality creates an atmosphere where elegance meets authenticity, making every brunch visit feel both familiar and extraordinary. The name Piel Canela itself refers to the cinnamon-colored skin of Latin migrants, evoking warmth and history in every aspect of the dining experience.
Authentic Chilaquiles Every Morning
Among all the beloved traditions that Chef Karla Guzmán brings from her Mexican heritage to Saint Denis Street, chilaquiles stand in the role of the morning exemplar that defines our commitment to authenticity, arriving at your table with fried two-colour tortilla chips bathed in smoky morita sauce, crowned with your choice of fried or perfect eggs, and finished with beans, sour cream, queso fresco, coriander and red onion.
This signature dish embodies versatile daytime dining that fits perfectly with Montreal’s lively brunch culture. For those seeking something on the sweeter side, the Camote Waffle combines spiced sweet potato purée with mezcal whipped cream and white chocolate ganache. Our menu also features corn patties (garnachas), served with pressed chicharrón and requeson, as a savoury alternative.
Creative Cocktails and Unlimited Mimosas
Our bar program converts Latin American cocktail traditions into lively celebrations that arrive in your glass with the same cultural intention as the food, where Jérémy Escolano bridges his proficiency as both barista and mixologist to create drinks that honour tropical flavour profiles while embracing Montreal’s convivial brunch atmosphere.
