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.

Spanel Crepes & gourmets was a fantastic find after our other favorite crêpe shop in Montreal has closed. The crêpes were absolutely delicious. Light & tasty. We ordered the IDS for the savory & the Titan for the sweet. The owners were very friendly to a couple of hungry Americans. Mercy, au revoir Montreal. We would highly recommend eating here.

I got the savory crepe that had two scrambled eggs & sausages. My wife ended up having one that had olives, arugula, some tomato & hummus.

The presentation of the crepes is great. The ingredients are good & the taste is decent. The satiety factor is low. There just wasn't a lot in the crepes.

Other than that, service was good & the atmosphere was cool. Waitress was very friendly. The value of the savory crepes just wasn't there for us, but it may be for others.

A local friend brought me here once & I've been coming back ever since lol. The food never disappoints. The crepes are impressively savory, not the usual bland, overly sweet fare. That said, the patio still feels like an afterthought. A bit of polish there wouldn't hurt. Still, worth coming back for the food alone :)

Great savory crepes. I wasn't into crepes, so I was hesitant trying this place. I was passing by & the fragrance of the food drew me in & decided to give it a try. I tried the smoked salmon crepe & a vegetarian crepes. They both were memorable. Service is also good.

Première visite chez Spanel, & belle surprise 😲
L'ambiance est agréable, le personnel accueillant, & les crêpes sont vraiment excellentes 😋
J'ai goûté la « Verdun » (porc effiloché à l'érable, oeuf miroir, emmental) en salée, puis la « Banana Split » en sucrée : un vrai régal du début à la fin.
Un café americano ☕? pour finir, & l'expérience était complète.
Une belle adresse sur la rue Notre-Dame que je recommande volontiers.

First time at Spanel, & what a nice surprise 😲
The atmosphere is pleasant, the staff is welcoming, & the crêpes are truly delicious 😋
I had the'Verdun' (maple pulled pork, sunny-side-up egg, Emmental) as a savory option, followed by the'Banana Split' for dessert - absolutely delightful from start to finish.
I wrapped it up with an Americano ☕? & the whole experience felt complete.
A great spot on Notre-Dame Street that I definitely recommend.

This is a great place for brunch! Lots of savory & sweet crepe options. Also plenty of alcoholic & non-alcoholic drinks (including coffee). In the summer they have a great patio out back for seating. Highly recommend!
