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.

Fast, delicious, huge portions, & great service. In the summer they have a nice little back patio, & grow the herbs fresh back there. It's a good sign when we see the same people working there for so long. It gets busy - make a reservation! The large coffees are the size of soup bowls!

The crepes are tasty & they have a good variety of choices. The dessert ones are reasonably priced, & I really like how the savory crepes are made with buckwheat. The coffee is good too, although apparently on weekdays they don't serve filter coffee in the evening. The place is smaller but cozy. The only thing is there was a strange odor coming from maybe the basement? Everytime the door opened it seemed stronger. Perhaps there's something with the pipes or plumbing.. but overall I enjoyed it

Delicious crepes with a good selection to choose from sweet or salty. We were there during the holidays, so possibly the staff were tired but we could have done with a more patient & attentive waitstaff. Will absolutely recommend to others & return again

Nous sommes arrivés vers 9h30, il y avait uniquement un serveur qui semblait être débordé. Concernant les crêpe, beaucoup de choix variés. Cependant, les portions sont petites, 1 crêpe par repas de manière générale. La majorité des crêpes repas contiennent du fromage. Ambiance chaleureuse & bon café.

Large variety of savory & sweet crepes. Other options as well such as omelettes, & salads. My son said Nutellamisu was very good & large.... could have split it with someone. The IDS crepe with Avocado spinach cheese & salsa was good, the Petite Italie with prosciutto, goat cheese, arugula & balsamic glaze was fantastic.

The best savoury crepes I have ever eaten. The Mont Royal & the Pointe-Saint-Charles are filled with amazing flavours. The crepes are huge. One of my favourite places to eat in Little Burgundy. Tried the mocha beverage, it is amazing, never had one so good.

This restaurant is absolutely fantastic! Hands down, the best crepes I've had in town so far. My husband & I each ordered two crepes-one savory & one sweet-& they were all incredibly delicious & perfectly soft. I tried the savory "Mont Royal" & the sweet "Banana Split," while my husband went for the "V.S.L" savory crepe & the "Petit Secret" for dessert. I'd definitely recommend ordering two crepes per person, as they're on the small/thinner side. However, if you go for the "Banana Split," it's big enough to share-definitely a two-person dessert in my opinion. The atmosphere was cozy & welcoming, & the service was outstanding. I can't wait to return & try even more flavors! Highly recommend it!
