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 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.

Excellente crêpes bretonnes à la mode québécoise . Excellent cidre brut.
Local un peu exiguë mais l'important est dans l'assiette salée ou sucrée.

A local friend brought me here once & I've been coming back ever since lol. The food never disappoints. The crepes are impressively savory, not the usual bland, overly sweet fare. That said, the patio still feels like an afterthought. A bit of polish there wouldn't hurt. Still, worth coming back for the food alone :)

Great savory crepes. I wasn't into crepes, so I was hesitant trying this place. I was passing by & the fragrance of the food drew me in & decided to give it a try. I tried the smoked salmon crepe & a vegetarian crepes. They both were memorable. Service is also good.

Great place & service. But the Atwater crepe didn't work at all. Very very dry almost like it missed something. Other food was good.

Très bon
Les prix sont un peu élevés mais pour la qualité des produits ça va
Je ne mets pas 5/5 car on a attendu longtemps juste pour recevoir nos menus, & pour recevoir nos boissons - mais bon on est arrivé juste à la fin du rush
Le service était agréable malgré l'attente
Faites une réservation c'était bondé

Light, well-made, French style, crepes. This family owned restaurant serves the best buckwheat crepes in Montreal, in my humble opinion. Sorry but 1 picture only, as I was too hungry lol. Strongly suggest you make a reservation, especially on weekends, & pay for street parking.

Absolutely scrumptious crêpes! I think the best I have had so far in Mtl. I tried the Nutella-banana & the mango Italiano (through skip so I'm sure dine-in is even better). Both were incrediblyyy delicious yet quite light somehow! Def my new favorite crêpe spot :)
