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.

The best mushroom, cheese & shredded duck Crepes, the Westmount one! Wow! Amazing & spectacular taste & service!
I definitely will be back with my family. I meet a couple of friends at the place, we had a great talked, have fun & eat a brunch from 10:30am to noon. My friends ordered 1. the V.L.S a Crêpe with grilled chicken, Emmental cheese green pepper & tomatoes...Uff so good! The 2nd. The I.D.S very good plate with eggs & avocado salsa..delicious! Finally we shared a Nutella & Banana Crêpe... It was just a perfect time, food & environment!😉💯🎯

The crepe au sarrasin was very good, the service was also very good. I removed a star because the interior of the restaurant could use a bit of attention. Between the blackened floors, the worn tables, & abundance of flies, the experience was less enjoyable. The flies were really relentless though, there were a dozen of them, & on top of that the fruit flies…

Delicious buckwheat crepes, satisfying portions with a large selection at great prices. Our server was wonderfully attentive. If you're around, don't hesitate to go in- we came in on a hot day, & the back terrace was wonderful.

Service a été très lent…& comme il faisait très chaud cette journée là, l'option de pouvoir manger à l'intérieur aurait été bien mais il n'y a aucune clim.

Very tasty crepes. The atmosphere is nice, with seating outside in the front, as well as back. The servers were nice. Service was a tad slow. Overall a good experience.

J'aurai aimé mettre 4.5. C'était bon mais les prix étaient élevés quand même pour des crêpes sucrées. Les crêpes étaient gourmandes, avec beaucoup (un peu trop) de crème fouettée.
Le personnel était chaleureux & accueillant. Il y a la clim en salle arrière ! C'est un grand plus !

The best crepe I ate in Montreal (& I have been to a lot of places). I had the Griffintown & the Kinder. Both were great & tasty. The crepe was crunchy & with a really nice texture, caramelized apple made all the difference. Also an affordable place.
