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.

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.

Il faisait froid, on est entrés pour prendre un café. Atmosphère chaleureuse, décor accueillant, type bistro français. Ils ont aussi une terrasse qui pourrait être intéressante en été. J'ai pris une soupe à l'oignon gratiné qui m'a chauffée immédiatement & mon mari a pris une crêpe Wellington qui était excellente. Ils ont une grande variété de crêpes qui ont l'air très bonnes.

I don't say this lightly: these have been the best crepes I've ever had. London fog was 10/10 as well.

J’adore cet endroit! Je suis intolérante au gluten & au lactose, alors les sorties au restaurant pour moi, ce n’est pas évident. Ils font de délicieuses crêpes au sarrasin, alors c’est gagnant pour moi! J’ai simplement demandé de ne pas mettre de fromage. Les cafés sont délicieux & ils ont du lait végétal si on le désire. Quand c’est plein, évidemment c’est très bruyant. Le serveur est très sympathique. J’y suis allée plusieurs fois, avec mon mari ou en famille.
