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.

A very nice brunch place on Notre Dame street! We all had buckwheat crepes & it was so delicious & filling! We started with cappuccino & orange juice & then I had the smoked salmon Atwater buckwheat crepe while others had ham Quartier Latin crepes & everything was so delicious ! Very good service & the perfect place to bring family & friends :) Would love to try sweet crepes next time! UPDATE: Went for brunch & as always great food & fantastic service at this awesome 11/10 brunch venue 🎉🎉 MORE UPDATES: Went for a late brunch & had coffee, hot chocolate , Parisienne, & Atwater crepes & as always fantastic food with fantastic service & fantastic music playing in the background 🥰🥰

My partner & I had an amazing experience here. The people were incredible & even fit us in last minute & made sure we felt very welcome. We have several allergies & they made sure to accommodate them all. The food was delicious & fast to the table. We will absolutely be coming back to try more items on the menu! You definitely want to try this GEM of a restaurant.

Nous aimons ce restaurant, qui propose habituellement de très bons repas. Cette fois-ci, nous sommes venus pour un brunch entre amis & l'expérience a été plus mitigée. L'accueil manquait un peu de chaleur & le service était peu présent (on dirait pas assez des serveurs pour la clientèle ). Nous avons été installés près des portes de la terrasse, ce qui rendait l'espace assez froid & moins confortable.
Côté cuisine, la crêpe du jour était trop cuite & servie froide, avec un jambon plutôt dur. La crêpe sucrée était malheureusement à moitié cuite.
Dans l'ensemble, cette visite n'a pas répondu à nos attentes, autant pour le service que pour la qualité des plats, nous sommes repartis gelé & insatisfait. Nous espérons que ces points pourront être améliorés.

On a partagé deux crêpes moi & ma femme (la kinder, qui est sucrée & la Atwater, qui est salée), & c'était excellent! Le service est chaleureux & l'ambiance est très joyeuse & apaisante! Je recommande fortement pour un déjeuner en amoureux!
