Come taste the freshest regional dishes while enjoying spectacular ocean views

About us

Markus and Katherine Feiel have been “feeding the Islands” for over 25 years!

They moved to Nova Scotia in 1995 and began operating Seaside Lunch, a busy takeout on the wharf in Tiverton, Long Island. They sold the business after 12 years and continued to work in the food industry, most recently, operating Brier Islands’ Lighthouse Café for the last three years.

They have been told that they have the “best fish’ n ’chips ever!” too many times to count. They take pride in their food and are very excited to be launching their newest adventure at the Brier Island Lodge, Grandview on Brier.

Grandview on Brier is aptly named for the spectacular views of Grand Passage which can be enjoyed from all the windows in the dining room and lounge. The view, combined with the freshest regional seafood, hand-picked veggies from the greenhouse and gardens, locally sourced meats and cheeses, fair trade coffees, and an inspired, creative menu will make Grandview on Brier a destination for foodies, travelers, nature lovers and whale watchers alike!

Markus studied Hotel Management in Austria and Katherine has a business degree from Saint Mary’s University in Nova Scotia. This knowledge, combined with their love of cooking, creating menus and offering impeccable service, will draw visitors from the region and beyond.

Grandview on Brier is open daily for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. 7-10am, 12-2pm, 4-9pm

“Hope to see you soon!”- Katherine and Markus Feiel

Greenhouse

From Farm to table.

In the summer of 2018, a long-time dream came true for us at the Brier Island Lodge. That dream began with the construction of a durable, long-lasting, greenhouse to grow fresh produce on site. In a matter of a few short weeks the greenhouse was complete and by July we were serving fresh organic produce in the dining room!

By Fall the harvest was so bountiful we were offering free produce to the community! The greenhouse continued to provide leaf lettuce and other herbs until early November.

We are looking forward to this upcoming season and harvesting microgreens, fresh herbs, and other organic produce to further elevate our offerings. Feel free to stroll around our gardens and see your food travel from farm to table.

Relax with a cocktail, wine or beer

Handmade cocktails, local and import beers, and an extensive wine menu is available for you to choose from after your day of exploring Brier Island! If you prefer a lighter choice, peruse our non-alcoholic options including soft drinks, kombucha, iced tea, lemonade, juices, seltzer, tonic, and more!

Would you rather have a hot beverage? We offer many herbal teas, black teas, fair trade coffees, hot chocolate, and specialty coffees! The choice is yours—relax and enjoy.
