About us

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.

30+ years ago, we had a memorable crepe dinner in Montreal. That restaurant is long gone, but our dinner here at Spanel this evening very much lived up to our memory. We had delicious vegetable crepes with a bottle of cider & shared a lovely sweet dessert. Our host was very friendly & helpful. Another great memory! Well be back in less than 30 years 😀

Waited about 5 months to come by here. Got the petite bourgogne, bacon tasted microwaved, lots of Spinach though so that's nice. Good portion but felt expensive for what you get.

Les crêpes étaient délicieuses & toute la famille a adoré ! Côté nourriture, rien à redire. En revanche, nos cafés étaient servis froids, ce qui est un peu décevant. L'endroit est très animé & bruyant, donc pas idéal si vous cherchez un repas au calme, mais l'ambiance reste chaleureuse. Mention spéciale pour la serveuse, très fine, attentionnée & accueillante, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus agréable.

Superbe ambiance & crêpes délicieuse. La crêpe Cococacao était bien chocolaté sans être trop sucré. À revenir car il y a une petite terrasse très chouette en arrière.

Absolutely amazing
I have never tried the green vegetable crepes. Spinach, Asparagus, & Avocado on delicious crepe. I loved it.
As a former meat eater, I can tell you I smelled a delicious bacon too.
