I love this restaurant. We have lived in Bellingham for a short while and will be moving soon; but…read moreeven when we do we will definitely be returning as we have had nothing but good experiences here. The food is prepared with quality ingredients that are loaded with flavor and it is is obvious that the preparation is thought out and that the owner is passionate about sharing her recipes to the world. Ambiance: Everything feels home-like and traditional. It's cozy and well taken care of. The service is always good. Everyone here is friendly and attentive. We are vegetarian and normally I don't just bring that up but I am especially impressed by the staff remembering this about us. A good example was this morning our waitress saw us look at the specials board for the soup and making our day by letting us know that they had forgotten to put up a second option available that didn't have meat. There are so many places that would not care to take that extra step to please their customers and would have a "take it or leave it" response to people with dietary concerns. Because this is so common these days- Magdalenas stands out. We have tried a lot of different dishes here and theyve all been good-; Turkish cilbur, mushroom sandwich, breakfast bowl, the entree salads, and their omelets are especially good (I've had bad luck with omelets not being good from other restaurants and Magdalenas made me a fan again). The soups are perfect for the Washington weather. I am not much of a sweets person but their scones are perfect, as well as the donuts, cinnamon rolls etc. As far as drinks- the seasonal winter tea hits the spot. Mint or lavender lemonades have been good during warmer days and various espresso based beverages to choose from. Though I don't normally drink, their mulled spiced wine sounds very good and I hope to make an exception to try it before we move from here.

Fast, friendly service. We each ordered crepe #2 (with Sautéed veggies, mushrooms, fontina cheese,…read moregarlic, and yogurt with fresh dill, with buckwheat batter for $1 extra). Also, we shared a small order (6) of mushroom and cabbage pierogi. Our order came in less than 10 minutes. We loved the crepes. Though they were expensive ($18.50 each, +$1), they were unique and delicious. We enjoyed the pierogi, the taste was unlike any other we've had. But at $3 each, they were not worth the price to us. We thought they'd be a bit bigger and have more filling for that price. It's basically an $18 appetizer (and a small one at that). Our total lunch came to nearly $60 before tax and tip, yet we left a bit hungry. It was worth having the experience, but for me, the cost wasn't commensurate with the amount.

It may be difficult to accommodate large groups, but if you come early, it should be okay. We were seated by the bar and we had a full view of the kitchen. It was nice to watch them make the crepes and prepare all the food. They have a few appetizers, savoury and sweet crepes, and quite a large cider selection. We both tried different ciders. I liked the scenic road razz. It was light and fruity. Tartare de boeuf- wagyu tartare, served with a beet puree and buckwheat crackers. It was tasty. I really liked the crunch on the buckwheat crackers. The tartare was seasoned well. Jambon blanc- savoury crepe with Parisian ham, cider onion jam, gruyere, and egg. Simple, but quality ingredients. It may look small, but it was quite filling. I enjoyed the buckwheat crepes as it added more flavour to the crepes. I do wish there was a bit more onions in this one. Overall, was very savoury and delicious. Saucisse- beef and pork sausage, bacon, red pepper relish, gruyere, and mustard aioli. This one was really filling. The sausage was quite large, flavourful, and not dry at all. The red pepper relish added some sweetness and brightness to the dish. The crepe went well with the mustard. Overall, it was a satisfying meal. It was nice to go to somewhere for brunch that was more unique than just the usual items for brunch. Service was great, especially since it was so busy. They were still attentive and quick. Prices are pretty good, considering portion and quality of ingredients. I'd recommend checking this place out. I know I'll be back to try their sweet crepes.

Way back in the day (96 to be specific) on my way to Africa, I did a stopover in London…read more I had managed to get a free pass on the brand new Eurostar train! I left London Waterloo International station (Eurostar later switched to St Pancras) at 6am while it was pitch dark & returned at night again in darkness! I mention this because I was not able to see the French country side (a real bummer) once Eurostar came out from under the Chunnel. So don't be a dumbo like me when next you're going on the Eurostar - travel during daylight hours! It was a one day pass so I ran around Paris like a wild crazy chicken being chased by a knife! Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, beautiful cafés & streets et cetera the sights & sounds of Paris one never forgets! Trying to get directions in English from Frenchmen ... oh the joy! Not enough time at all in Paris - 8 hours flew by in a flash! One highlight was my introduction to crêpes via a food cart, just near the Eiffel Tower. Those buckwheat crêpes were damn expensive & as I walked away chomping down on them, I got to less than a 100 metres away before I turned around & went back for more - I kid you not!!! Bye bye to my remaining Francs (cash) but I was happy as can be my belly full! Best ever expensive crêpes!!! They had that certain - 'je ne sais quoi' taste! Paris crepes are the best!!! I ended up leaving Paris with nothing to show for ... no Gucci or LV t-shirt ... absolutely ziltch in clothing or souvenirs! Insert sad face here! But you guessed it, I've never ever forgotten those crêpes! Which leads me to the brand new - Ça Marche Crêperie @ Vancouver House. This is a concept crêperie & cider house by the owner of the magnifique - Au Comptoir (please see my review) on 4th Ave. Located on the north west side of the Granville Bridge at the base of Vancouver House = if you can see Vancouver House you'll find this Crêperie! This area is booming with lots of shiny newness - see the amazing architecture of Vancouver House where Ça Marche Crêperie is located just off the short Continental St. This is a small operation with limited seating, so perhaps settle for a 'grab N go' kinda vibe. I'm 100% here for the crêpes! The cider to be honest not so much. Never been a huge fan. The taste just hasn't won me over ... yet! However, that said I'm curious to try the conceptual concoctions that will be offered here! Hey maybe there's hope for me & I just might become a huge lover of cider yet!?! To the owners of this crêperie I plead & beg you not to hire little Johnny from the local high school to be in the kitchen making my crêpes!!! I swear if you go down this road you'll lose my support as my sense of taste will be shattered by crappie garbage crêpes! Look at what was once a local popular Crêperie downtown - they started hiring anyone with a heart beat! The crêpes got so bad even Aunt Jemima refused to pour her syrup on them!!! I can tell you it wasn't the pandemic that ruined it!!! I absolutely just love crêpes & I'm excited about this new crêperie! You can have crêpes with pretty much anything you want to add to them - so go ahead & experiment until you find your hearts content! Highly recommend getting a savoury buckwheat crêpe as a 'main dish' & then try a classic sweet crêpe for dessert - if you can handle it. Apparently the frites (fries) & dip are absolutely delightful - as told to me by someone who sat next to me at the bar. Oui monsieur ... hit me up one more time - here take all my Francs & my shirt! Merci!

Truthfully, I go for their crepes, but my friends are always bey happy with their other menu choices too. The staff is friendly and we never feel rush to eat & leave. This isn't a place you need to really dress up to feel you fit in. However, you also could if the mood suits you & still not feel out of place. Truly, I am happy that they even have tables on the main level that accommodate those with mobility aids. However, that being said, I am struggling to recall if there would be a easy enough way for a wheelchair or even a walker to make it to the main door. I'll have to remember to focus on that long enough before my next crepe eating bliss hits. As Cowichan Bay is a popular area to stop for meals, do plan to go in advance for parking. As even if there are a few spots for the restaurant, there isn't enough space to accommodate the full restaurant. If you are able to find a spot at the restaurant or are double parking at the restaurant (which is apparently allowed), it is good to let the server know what vehicle is yours. Beyond more than mention "I've parked my vehicle here", so a server can notify you if people need to be let out of the space if they're leaving before you're done. If you don''re not lucky enough to grab a parking spot right at the restaurant, you might have to go far up the road (sometimes almost to the hotel) or down the road (towards the parking area by the pubic washrooms) to reach any parking options. Definitely try it out if you are looking fit an option in Cowichan Bay. I know I'm looking forward to many more future happy crepe eating moments here with friends.
