Yann Bris, owner and chef, originally from Brittany in France, more precisely from the city of Paimpol, a small fishing port in the Cotes d'Armor, settled in Quebec in 2005. After earning his degree in hotel and restaurant management, he worked for the Accor Group as director of hotel-restaurant in the southwest of France, a bastion of French gastronomy. He opened his first crêperie in Fort Lauderdale, on the coast of Florida, in the United States.
This success and some leisure travel to the beautiful city of Montreal, prompted him to return and try the Quebec experience. He opened a decoration boutique in downtown Montreal, on Amherst Street, which he calls Karactère with a "K". Despite the success of this enterprise, he misses restauration. He decides to close the shop and starts a project that is closer to his love of gastronomy by opening a crêperie in the now trendy district known as Griffintown.
He sets his sights on a former hairdressing studio that he completely transforms to create Spanel, the Breton word for "spatula" Spatula for turning pancakes. Spanel's philosophy is based on a cuisine made exclusively with fresh, quality products. Thanks to the proximity of the Atwater Market, Yann can fulfill his wish to serve his customers crepes and gourmet dishes. Spanel is also committed to offering its customers a warm and friendly atmosphere.
The choice of a shady terrace, surrounded by trees and equipped with heaters, allows them to make the most of outdoor dining, from the first days of summer until the arrival of winter. The chef hopes you'll enjoy discovering Spanel and come back often to spend pleasant moments.

Incredible food. If you're coming with a friend, split a sweet & a savoury. It'll change your life.View more
Les crêpes sont préparées avec des ingrédients de qualité. Leurs menus proposent une grande variété de garniture à l'eau classique sucré, citron au combinaison plus créative comme Nutella, la banane, l'ambiance & chaleureuse & convivial parfaite pour un repas repas décontracté entre amis ou famille.

I was disappointed. We had been customers from the beginning & now we just don't enjoy it anymore. The resto needs renovations badly. The food is good but overpriced for the portions given. The service is good not great. They take it for granted that they will always do great business because of tourism in the summer. Not sure how they do in winter. I don't think we will keep the resto on our list. It is in decline.View more

Enjoyed real French crepes on a beautiful outdoor patio, with super-friendly service. What a great Montreal experience!View more
No ac inside it seems, sat outside. You must get one sweet one savory bc the sweet crepes are small & will be finished fast. For savory crepe we got the PETITE BOURGOGNE which came with Bacon, Spinach, Fresh apples, Caramelized Onions & Aged Cheddar. We also added an egg on it which they spread out onto the crepe & cooked it on it. The caramelized were delcious & I thought it was a well balanced crepe with the heavy bacon & the spinach & apples. For sweet crepe we got the MARTINIQUAISE / MARTINICAN which came with Banana flambe with Rum, Ice cream & Salted butter caramel. The bannsn was so good but I would ask to pit the caramel on the side. Its too tought to work with the rest of the ingredients. Lovely place to eat crepesView more
