    Mimosa, flat white
    Jessica P.

    Omg the reviews here weren't lying - the crepes are SO good! The smoked salmon Atwater crepe is delectable, the OJ in the mimosa tasted fresh-squeezed, and the flat white was so smooth I didn't even need to add sugar. The ambience is lovely with a French soft rock station playing in the background, and the service is friendly and prompt. A+

    When In Montreal, you should probably eat some crepes at least once, and Spanel is a wonderful place to do so. I liked it so much I'm considering making a return trip, even though I'm only in Montreal for a long weekend. I ordered a Tatin sweet crepe. The crepe dough was soft, pleasantly sweet, and has the perfect texture and lightness. For fillings, Spanel cooked the apples very nicely. Meanwhile, the Ice cream paired well with everything and offered a contrast in textures and temperatures. Finally, I adored the salted butter caramel sauce! It tied everything together and was straight-up delicious! When it came to the service, it was a touch slow to start but became much better and more attentive afterward.

    Chocacao- Nutella, strawberries, creme fraiche, choco sauce. Addictively good!

    Holy crepe! ;) The best crepes ever! Great coffee. I came here in a group of 7 around 1pm and though they were really busy, we were seated within a few minutes. My kids enjoyed their Hot Chocolate and "Chocacao" crepes full of the classic goodness of Nutella, strawberries, creme fraiche, and chocolate sauce. Then, I was super impressed with my literally green and savory "Masonneuve" crepe of spinach, asparagus, avocado, and pesto. The crepes here are perfectly thin and just the right texture. With excellent food, drinks, and service, this spot can always give me the crepes! ;) NOTES/TIPS: **Extremely fair prices. **Gender neutral restrooms. **Beer, wine, proesecco, cocktails. **They also offer salad, soups, omelets, and other brunchy items.

    Super good food and friendly people working there. If you have time, stop in and get a latte and crepe (I still dream about them).

    Some of the best crepes I've had! Prices were very reasonable, and portions are humongous. They Chococao crepe was delicious--piled high with homemade whipped cream and stuffed with a good amount of strawberries and nutella. My partner got the Kinder Bueno crepe, which was two sticks of Bueno wrapped with crispy crepes and dunked into a bowl of whipped cream, drizzled with salted caramel. Just pure decadence. Was way too sweet for even me but the portion is smaller so that might be alright if you're craving something like that! The savoury crepes are good as well, certainly not dainty little savoury affairs. They add cheese, either emmental or a hard cheddar, to their savoury crepes which, when melted, provide such richness and flavour. They also provide some maple syrup on the side which I imagine pairs well with most of them as well. So delicious and will definitely be back again if I'm in town. Service was also outstanding--very friendly and attentive. You can really get the sense that they're proud of their restaurant and they should be!

    Even it was a bit drive from the hotel that we stayed in downtown, but I am so glad my friend found this place when we visited Montreal. Spanel really serve up delicious and mouthwatering crepes! We opted for the simple savory crepes and they were really good.

    Walked in on a cloudy morning after missing the bus and trekking 20 minutes from my hotel. It was totally worth the walk!! The cappuccino and Mike End crepe (eggs, mushroom, spinach, aged cheddar) were amazing! Delicious and not overly salty or oily. The space is very inviting and homey, with some light music playing in the background. The waitress was catering to multiple tables and greeting incoming customers. When you're in Montreal, this is a must stop!

    We arrive at Spanel for brunch. The restaurant is packing up. We didn't have the reservations, luckily they were able to sit us. The service is top notch. Every staff were darlings even though they are rushing with the packed restaurant. We ordered La sante crepe, Kinder Crepe and from the menu du jour crepe with eggs and salmon. Each dish were below average. Some dish were overly salty, and some were overly sweet. Despite the great service; food made us feel sick. Personally, I felt nauseous, even my fellow friends felt the same. Most likely, we went on a wrong day and our food was not cooked up to a great level. I have hard time to believe if the restaurant's food were to be bad how can this place be so running so well. Hopefully, it was just one time, but I would be hesitant to go back again.

    IDS crepe and a croque spanel!

    We came here on vacation in search of traditional crepes. Everything was delicious and I love that there were so many gluten-free options. The chef was so nice, too. I highly recommend Spanel!

    Incredibly prepared crepes with many topping options named after Montreal boroughs paired with lovely lemonade on a hot day and a beautiful backyard terrasse makes the experience at @spanel_mtl worthy of many revisits.

    Lovely spot in Little Burgundy serving a multitude of buckwheat crepes from sweet to savory, each named after a borough in Montreal. We sat on the terasse in the back of the restaurant providing plenty of greenery and umbrellas for shade, and away from the hustle of busy Notre Dame Street. I opted for the Little Burgundy crepe, chosen purely cause I couldn't decide from all the yummy choices and as hommage to the neighbourhood i was grubbing in; bacon, cheddar, spinach, apples and onions stuffed my perfectly made crepe or rather "galette". Delicious and perfectly portioned, served with coffee and fruit for brunch. Washed it down with a kir breton, cider with crème de cassis, which was perfect! Overrall, an affordable and great spot for yummy brunch on busy Notre Dame Street.

    2nd time here, had to make it a stop when we're in Montreal! First time ordered the Westmount which is duck confit, caramelized onions, and potatoes, we were able to add on top Foie Gras! Omg! Literally have been dreaming of that amazing Crepe since, when we returned definitely had to order. Unfortunately they no longer offer with Foie Gras but, the crepe was still delicious! My fiance ordered on one with goat cheese, arugula, proscuitto and balsalmic drizzle which was also great choice. There is a great selection for breakfast/lunch, whether you are looking for a sweet or savory crepe. One thing to warn, it is Bee season, there are alot of pesky bees at the outdoor seating.

    TLDR: Popular crepe place in downtown Montreal. Crepes were good. I was disappointed that the salad…read morewas pre-dressed with no option for dressing on the side. My husband and I went to Cafe et Crepe for breakfast on our latest trip to Montreal. I got the roast beef crepe ($15.95) which comes with roast beef, bell peppers, cheese, spinach and usually onions, but I asked them to omit it. My husband got the turkey, cheese and egg crepe ($15.95). All savoury crepes come with a side salad. I asked for the dressing on the side and was told that's not possible because the salads are pre-dressed. Bummer because I find pre-dressed salads over-dressed for my tastes and double bummer because the dressing contained poppy seeds, which I can't eat :( Food was not wasted though, my husband ate my salad, lol. The crepes are regular wheat crepes not the buckwheat Breton-style crepes. They were tasty though and I liked that they were not stingy with the fillings. The peppers in my crepe were nicely al dente and were plentiful. The roast beef was deli meat, but there was a good amount. I had a taste of my husband's crepe and it was good too. The turkey was also deli meat. The salad had kale, carrots, red cabbage and corn kernels. My husband thought it was ok. It was drenched in dressing. Service was satisfactory. The ambiance is very casual. There's a television streaming sports. It's in an aged building that it shared with other businesses such as a spinning or was it Pilates (?) studio. The washrooms are up a flight of creepy stairs in the building (you have to exit the back of the restaurant). The place seemed to be popular with tourists. We sat at the front away from the crowds, but the back was full. They also have outdoor seating if you prefer to dine Al fresco. Street parking only, which I imagine would be a pain to find. We were carless on our trip so just walked there. (114)

    I absolutely love crepes. I love how versatile they are and how creative you can get with making…read morethem. It's really hard to mess up a crepe because usually the stars are the ingredients inside of the crepe. The cafe in itself doesn't look like much, but it was full of people, and they make a very good crepe here. I ordered something you don't normally see in menus, and that's a mochaccino. Whatever chocolate they use it is fantastic, really good quality. I'm thinking about it in lamentation because I know that unless I make it myself, I probably wont stumble across one as good as that was. Then came the crepe. It had goat cheese, mozzarella, spinach, and egg. So massive that I was already full by the time I ate half of it. It came with this sauce or Dijon dressing that knocked my socks off good. Also tried the sweet crepe and that was amazing as well. What a delightful breakfast before a full day of activities in old Montreal! I'd highly recommend it.
