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.

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 crepes

Amazing crepes! I ordered a mile-end one & it tasted very great. Tip: You can change the cheese (from/to emmental/cheddar) for free. I ordered a large sized latte & it turned out extra extra large! If you are looking for a normal sized latte, you should go with a small size.

What a great place to visit! The crepes were absolutely amazing & melt in your mouth. It was a beautiful day that we ate out back on the patio - great ambiance. We got 1 sweet & 1 savory crepe & both were exceptional. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Montreal.

Lorsque j'y vais, c'est toujours sur l'heure du lunch avec mes collègues, & on a toujours l'impression qu'on sort quelque part de fancy. Pourtant les prix sont très abordables & le menu beaucoup plus diversifié qu'une place fancy. L'ambiance est vraiment à la camaraderie & le serveur (toujours le même) est littéralement le plus nice. Je recommande & je continuerai à réserver des grosses tables pour mes collègues :) Je recommande aussi le pichet de Mimosa

Hands down the best crepes that I've had in a long while We had the Kinder, Banana Split & the Celtic, with a side of French Toast & Mocha Latte. All of them were well made, delicious & beautifully presented. Add to that the cozy atmosphere & the absolutely amazing service, this place is a must visit for anyone who has a sweet tooth. They do have savory options of the Crepes, which we may try the next time around 🤞🏼

Excellentes galettes sarrasin. J'ai opté pour celle au saumon puis la beurre & sucre en dessert. Elles étaient copieuses & digestes. Le personnel est sympathique. Seul bémol : le bruit de la vaisselle si votre table est située à proximité de la cuisine. Une bonne adresse dans un quartier calme un peu excentré.

Service hors pair, ambiance charmante & que dire de la crêpe que j'ai dégustée (la Villeray), juste wow! Sincèrement la meilleure crêpe de ma vie. Léger bémol, les patates ne sont pas tout à fait assez cuites, ni croustillantes, malgré qu'elles soient délicieuses. Même le café est excellent ! J'y retournerai c'est sûr & certain.
