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.

Always an amazing meal with excellent service & no difficulties making reservations. Gluten free crêpes, many vegetarian options, 2 vegan savoury options & lots of sides to choose from - my go-to for a group with dietary restrictions or just for a nice, casual brunch :)View more

Endroit à découvrir Un serveur était très gentil tandis que l'autre nous regardait de haut & nous avions l'air de déranger Nous étions assied près de la porte & une odeur pas très agréable revenais régulièrement à notre nez. Je suis ambivalente sur mon expérience Ma fille a pris un déjeuner régulier & moi une crepe & c'était bon. C'est le serveur bête & l'odeur qui m'a fait hésiter entre mettre 3 ou 4 étoiles Serveur super : teint basané Serveur pas sympathique : petit mince avec tatoo au couView more

J'aime marcher sur Notre-Dame de Saint-Henri jusqu'au Vieux-Montréal. Alors une pause chez Spanel est bien méritée. C'est une crêperie & les plats sont bons & les desserts gourmands. Il y a 2 terrasses, à l'arrière & devant.View more
