Piel Canela from the Barranco Partners group brings a vibrant touch of Latin America to Montreal’s Saint-Denis Street. By day, this chic spot transforms from the restaurant Caifan into a brunch paradise, offering a menu filled with Latin-inspired dishes crafted by Mexican-born chef Karla Guzman. Guzman, alongside her talented team, draws on her culinary roots to present elevated classics like duck-stuffed tlatoyo and shakshuka with a spicy twist. With a selection of artisan breads from Carlota Boulangerie and a signature drink menu featuring exotic cocktails and Latin-style coffees, Piel Canela delivers an experience that’s both nostalgic and bold: Be it corn cake with mascarpone or pancakes with mole shrimp, each dish feels like a celebration of flavour and culture, perfect for a laid-back daytime meal.
