Review of Spanel

As others have noted, it’s a little trek away from downtown (about a 30 minute walk from where we stayed in Old Montreal) but 1000% worth the hike! The savory crepes are all naturally gluten free being made with buckwheat. While the kitchen can’t promise the risk of no cross contamination, the chef will clean the preparation space before preparing a crepe for someone with celiac. (I’m very sensitive to cross contamination and did not get sick so greatly appreciate the preparation process identified by the server). The crepe was hands down the best crepe I’ve ever eaten, gluten free or not. I got the Petit Burgundy crepe and was blown away by how delicious it was (naturally GF)! Would recommend to anyone in Montreal looking for an authentic crepe experience.
