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.

Place has a nice ambiance, though probably the worst crepes I've ever had. Dry & flavorless crepes. The sweet crepes were packed with so much brown sugar it was all you could taste & left me with aching teeth. Savoury crepe contents were lackluster with half a spoon of salsa & loaded with uncooked spinach.

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. C'est un vrai régal pour les papilles.

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.

Love the crepes, the kinder Bruno one was especially amazing. Highly recommended the Smoothie of the Day. Loved the service & attention to detail: the buckwheat savory crepes were really great. We had the little Italy buckwheat crepes
