my husband and i took a trip to the mall of america and they have a magic pan crepe stand there! he ordered an original chantilly crepe. it had apricot preserves and bananas inside and whipped cream and candied almonds on top. it was delicious!!

I was just sitting here thinking about The Magic Pan. Used to eat there often in the 70's or 80's. One in particular in Beverly Hills near Rodeo Drive. WHAT HAPPENED?????

Not successful in between the coasts?! I grew up in the Dallas, Texas area and used to eat at the Magic Pan in Northpark Mall regularly in the late 70s and early 80s. Myself and several friends still talk about it and miss it!

Magic Pan in Northpark Mall Dallas was my favorite place! I loved going in and seeing all the crepes on the pan slowly turning on the spinning stove top in the front of the resturant as you walked in. Chicken ala King was the best!

Vegas has several of these little crepe kiosks (not sure if they are called "Magic Pan"). The crepes are good and just fun!

I worked at the Magic Pan in Denver in Larimer Square (cir.1978). I used to make the crepes. It was located near enough to my college, where I could walk to work after classes. I learned how to make those crepes, and crack all those eggs. It was wonderful. I had a "thing" going with one of the guys in the kitchen. We used to sneak out during the afternoon lull, and make out in the alley. We had to be careful because that alley was well traveled. Oh la la! but at times, not. At any rate, it was a complicated time of my life. and "Emiliano" a nice Italian young man in the kitchen, and I had a good thing going. He only spoke Italian but as it turns out it didn't matter AT ALL! He and I eventually broke up, since his English was limited and so was my Italian. I ended up eventually leaving the crepe maker position. I'm sorry to say. Me and "Emiliano", college, crepes, and my major in Ballet and Modern Dance. I'll never forget those times, how young we all were, and how wonderful it was. Once in a while when I walk by that particular alley, I remember all the crepes I made and all the fun we had! and how ALIVE we all felt!! I never go by Larimer Square now but that I remember the Magic Pan, Emiliano, and our hiding place in the alley where we made out. Rebekah Maria

My dad and I used to go there very often, it was really a treat. It was located in St Louis and I still remember those seafood crepes and the wonderful salad with slivered almonds and a light vinegrette! I sure wish that place was still around!

i remember first being introduced to crepes at the magic pan and introduced a lot of my friends to that place. we absolutely loved it and i haven't had a decent crepe since. i remember going back there once only to find out the restauant closed down. then i drove out about 30 miles to another location only to find out that location closed also. no place ever came close as far as i'm concerned and many friends have asked whatever happened to magic pan. would love to have them open up again. crepes are more popular than ever and i would love to have another magic pan in the bay area. there was nothing like it. hope to see another magic pan soon.

Went to the Magic Pan in Washington, D.C. every payday for lunch; was the absolute best meal and I looked forward to the Chicken Divan and the Mandarin Orange Almond salad. I still think about how delicious it was, and was so disappointed when it just disappeared. I too hope that some entrepreneur will hear us all and try to get the Magic Pan going again...it was just too good to let go of. And yes, I think we all remember those days in our lives and eating at the Magic Pan & watching them make the crepes in that special way, that leaves a good feeling inside!! I hope they bring it back!

We used to have Magic Pan at a few shopping malls in the Toronto area too...it was great to sit there and watch them actually make the crepes!

Oh loved loved LOVED the Magic Pan in Beverly Hills. My mom took me there one day every week after shopping. So delicious, so decadent! I was so young then….

I absolutely loved the Magin Pan in St. Louis. What happened? Isn't there anybody who sees a market for these wonderful crepes? I haven't found any other crepes like the Magic Pan. I sure wish.... oh well.....

I can't say I remember eating at a Magic Pan, but I've never had a crepe quite like I just had at a little shop in Frankenmuth, Michigan. The Monte Cristo was simply divine with ham, turkey and swiss and of course, raspberry jam. Oh my gosh it was to die for!

My husband and I have eaten at the Magic Pan's in NorthPark in Dallas, Larimer Square in Denver and the one in Aspen many, many times. It was our favorite restaurant for years.I can still taste all of the good food. Quaker Oats, who run them into the ground,controls the name and recipes.

As a young girl I will never forget our frequent trips to Larimer Square in Denver for the Seafood Crepe...mmmm, can still taste it. Why do all the really good restaurants go under. Just isn't fair....The entire experience lives forever. Bring it back Quaker Oats.

My friends and I used to go to the Magic Pan in Dallas, at Northpark. I truly miss it. I lived on Park Lane by Greenville, just across the highway from the mall. My roommate and I used to go at least every other week. I loved watching the crepes spinning by, being made while we waited for a table. We always started with a salad. They came to us in HUGE wooden bowls. Great! Then I used to get a Stroganoff crepe (I think it was). We were always too full for a dessert crepe. We went once just to have a dessert crepe, and it was heaven! Ice cream rolled up in the crepe with a hot praline sauce poured over it, with whipped cream on top. We always made room for a dessert crepe at the end of the meal after that! I was just telling my nephew about it today. He didn't even know what a crepe is! He's missing out. I need to find my old crepe pan and give it a go again!Aaaah, nostalgia!

I worked at the Magic Pan in Beverly Hills 1979-1983 while in nursing school at Mount St. Mary's College. I sure miss those good easy times. Would love to have a Cherries Royal.

I loved Magic Pan!!! It was great. The restaurant was always packed. What happened??

Was on here looking for Magic Pan's Cherries Royale recipe. Anyone ever tried to recreate it with any luck? I managed to recreate the Spinach and one of the Chicken Crepes, but never tried the Cherries Royale. What was the filling? I am unsure. If I knew I would give it my best and let you all know if it worked. Let me know if you remember what it was....yum! It was by far the best thing I think I have ever had to eat.

I ran the Canadian Magic Pan operations in the mid-late 80's. The food was truly wonderful... especially the desserts. I operate a restaurant now and some of the inspiration for menu items come from items that were popular 25 years ago... you know what?... people still love the flavours. It truly amazes me how after so many years, so many people remember the Pan so fondly. There is a site where you can get up to date info on the Pan and the alumni of the pan. themagicpanproject(dot)com Cheers

I actually first started working at the Pan partly because of the Cherries Royale...and the Chantilly ...and the Praline crepes. Filling for the cherries crepe ingredients are icing sugar, creme cheese, almond extract...topping was brandied bing cherries. MMMMMM

I use to eat at the Beverly Hills, CA location way back when often...sure wish they were still around...all the good ones fade away!
