About

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.

We came there from downtown on foot because we really wanted to have some great pancakes for breakfast. According to the Google Maps reviews, it's one of the best places in the city.

The problems started right after we walked in. We had to wait for literally everything. We waited about 10 minutes for a guy to seat us. He was just walking back & forth, moving tables & chairs around & adjusting the umbrellas. Then we waited for the menus, asked for water, & waited again. We got the menus, made our choice, & waited for the same guy to come & take our order. The food itself arrived quickly (brought by another guy), but there were no utensils, & we had to wait until our guy brought them.

The pancakes themselves were AMAZING, very good. We didn't order coffee because we didn't want to get stuck there until the evening.

Quelle belle découverte! Suculentes crêpes au sarrazin & bon service! Il faut vite ouvrir une succursale à Blainville! 🙋?♀?

Had the best breakfast at chocacao! The crepes were absolutely delicious-perfectly soft, fresh, & filled with amazing flavor.

I've been coming to get breakfast since I first moved to Montreal & I can say that they never disappoint.

Love that they are gluten free as someone who has had to cut gluten a few times so I can always come here no matter what!

My favorites have definitely been the'Quartier Latin','Petite Bourgogne' & the'Village' all with a drizzle of maple syrup on top!

Will be coming to try out more tho!

My second time here & the last time I was here was about 9 years ago. This place is absolutely amazing & as good as I remember it. The best crepes in town & there are many to choose from. All of them look fantastic & the ones my family had were very good.

The staff is great, very polite & attentive. The restaurant itself is smaller in size however in the summer, there is street patio & a back patio. I recommend sitting out on the back patio in the summer. Very relaxing. I do prefer this type of restaurant as it is more personal & an intimate experience.

Anytime I am in Montreal, I will make sure to stop in & have a crepes.
