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.

Endroit à découvrir Un serveur était très gentil tandis que l'autre nous regardait de haut & nous avions l'air de déranger Nous étions assied près de la porte & une odeur pas très agréable revenais régulièrement à notre nez. Je suis ambivalente sur mon expérience Ma fille a pris un déjeuner régulier & moi une crepe & c'était bon. C'est le serveur bête & l'odeur qui m'a fait hésiter entre mettre 3 ou 4 étoiles Serveur super : teint basané Serveur pas sympathique : petit mince avec tatoo au cou

Spanel Crepes is a hidden gem that transforms the simple crepe into a culinary masterpiece. 😍 The delicate, paper-thin crepes are expertly crafted, enveloping a symphony of flavors that range from sweet to savory. The menu is a delightful journey, offering a variety of creative fillings that cater to diverse palates. 🍽️ The charming ambiance complements the exquisite taste, making Spanel Crepes a haven for those who appreciate the artistry of this French delicacy. Each visit promises a delightful experience, leaving you craving more of their delectable creations. Their incredible staff even made our crepe separated for our convenience just because we said we are going to share it ✨ Arghavan Rastegari - Follow me on Google Maps for more reviews ☺️

J'aime marcher sur Notre-Dame de Saint-Henri jusqu'au Vieux-Montréal. Alors une pause chez Spanel est bien méritée. C'est une crêperie & les plats sont bons & les desserts gourmands. Il y a 2 terrasses, à l'arrière & devant.

Very tasty crepes, so many choices! I just tried the wellington with pulled pork & a nice cappuccino, it is interesting that each crepe has a name of every neighborhood of montreal, & I guess some ingredients match maybe the style of each one, very creative. Good atmosphere but busy & good service overall.

There were so many options for great crêpes, we were really excited to visit. The backyard patio space is lovely too. The largest concern was the time it took to wait for everything. Getting a seat was fine as it was still quite early in the morning, but to flag down one of the three servers was impossible, so we waited 30 minutes to order. Once we ordered, it took almost an hour to receive the food. We did note there were many others in the restaurant, but it seemed like maybe they were understaffed in the kitchen as other tables noticed the wait for food too. I don't recommend going if your planning a quick brunch- but if you've got time, enjoy their lovely crêpes.
