Cafe Bleu Marie - Grand Manan

We visited Grand Manan for 2 days, and had lunch in Cafe Bleu Marie both days. What a great place! Hostess makes you feel like home, the interior design has French charm, every item on menu is made from scratch in front of you. Everything what we tried was delicious - crapes, waffles, and homemade gelato is to dye for - soooo good. The place is very little, so you might have to wait for a while to get a table, as the place is very popular. But it really worth it!!! I wish we could come there more often, but we live too far.

Le décor est magnifique. Les crêpes et gelato excellent. Loved the charm of the building (an old grocery and then candy store). Crêpes are made to order. Sandwiches and poke bowl available too. We had no issue with wait. But really why be in a rush while on vacation and on "island time" .... wish I could eat here everyday! Maybe we should move. Save room for gelato!! Excellent coffee too. Highly recommend. We enjoy meeting different folks and love supporting smaller businesses. Definitely unique and unexpected to find on GM (saying that in a good way!)

Stopped by on a recommendation from the B&B where we were staying. We discovered on entering that they don't take credit cards. We had no Canadian currency. My husband then went to the only ATM nearby to get Canadian dollars, only to discover that our credit cards didn't work with that ATM. Marie then graciously offered to let us eat and come back later to pay after we visited a larger bank in Grand Harbour, even to send a check when we got home if that bank didn't work. We were flabbergasted -- THAT would never happen on the mainland.I had the goat cheese and carmelized onion crepe, crepe made with buckwheat -- delicious! My husband had a classic crepe with ham, egg and cheese -- very satisfying. When we did return with Canadian currency and tried to pay extra given the extraordinary service, Marie insisted that we take a brownie and some cookies -- also very tasty. Highly recommend.

We stopped in for a late lunch . I believe it was ciabatta panini. Regardless, very tasty. Warm out of the press. See Pics. Really enjoyed the Chocolate gelato too. She had a dozen plus flavors . Great hospitality.

Home-cooked French and English style food, very limited seating, but we'll worth a visit. Highly regarded by locals and tourists alike that we talked to.
