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.

We ended up here over the labor day holiday. The place was beyond packed. Line out the door. For the 5 or so people working there they handled the chaos very well. Our lunch was a little slow but that was to be expected. Both my savory & dessert crepes were wonderful. My wife had gluten-free crepes which were totally on point & some of the best we've had. Highly recommend Spanel.

Life changing crepes! We had Westmound & Petit Italy & had to come back the next day for seconds. Polished it with a sweet crepe loaded with whipped cream & mangoes. Superb!

Best crepes I ever had. Specially the desserts. We were able to eat quite fast, great service & atmosphere but the winner is the food. Whenever I come back to Montreal, I'm stopping here again for at least one dessert.

We're missing crepes with that thin light crispy body that can be folded up- gluten free is great but still it's not as light as we'd like

Amazing crepe place in town. One of my favorite! We ordered savory & sweet crepe. The Petite Bourgogne comes with Bacon, Spinach, Fresh apples, Caramelized Onions & Aged Cheddar. It was super delicious! For sweet crepe, we ordered the Martinican, comes with Banana flambe with Rum, Ice cream & Salted butter caramel. The caramel a bit chewy. The coffee was average. But overall ... Yummy!! Will come back again.

The maître D was so nice. She gave my son some ice for his knee after falling from a parcours. She took care of us & we had the best crepes- my son & I had the Sweety & my daughter had the Nutella & strawberry crepes. AMAZING! 🖤🖤

Je m'y suis arrêtée pour prendre à emporter, & la dame qui m'a servi avait un air sévère au premier abord, mais au final elle était très sympathique. Elle cherchait juste à déterminer ce que je voulais. Ça démontre à quel point elle est dédiée à son travail. Je recommande une crêpe Sarrazin avec oeuf miroir, ils cassent leur oeuf directement sur la crêpe! Ça rajoute un croustillant super agréable!
