My sister and I went out for dinner to a place I have been wanting to visit on many trips home but haven’t yet. It is the Brixton and it sits in the heart of Glace Bay. It is fine dining at its best with a down home feel. They have a Cordon Blue Chef and it’s pretty obvious from the bread plate to the finish. The dishes were amazing. The cocktails were so nice to look at and even better to taste. They served a bread with a lime infused butter with some heat and it was sooo delicious. The hot honey naan bread with the Taziki was incredibly garlicky and flavourful. The scallops were seared perfectly and every bit of sauce on the plate complemented them well. The burger that my sister had she said was charred yet tender and juicy with every bite, and it was the quality of the beef that stood out more than anything. I had seared salmon. It melted in my mouth. Perfectly cooked, and everything was seasoned as it should be. Food is locally sourced. There were many people in there tonight all with reservations. Nice to see this place thrive! The wines paired very well with the meal and it’s definitely a five star experience and well worth the money. The service was top notch. Loved the atmosphere. Highly recommend!!! And to top it all off, we walked there and back 2.7 km each way… calories be gone!!! 😂
The food and service is next level here! One of the best beef tenderloins I ever ate! Will 100% be coming back here next time I am in town and will be spreading the word! 11/10
Highly recommend this spot if visiting Cape Breton. The warm atmosphere, live outdoor music (summer), and amazing food are well worth a stop for any traveller. Have been craving the food and cocktails since. May need to plan another trip just to eat here! So yummy.
I went here a couple of weeks ago and can say that hands down this was THE best spinach and artichoke dip I have ever had. And, from someone who has tasted great Cacio e Pepe in Rome, they did a damn good job on theirs! Loved the added touch of tiny bits of red onion in it.
The Brixton is leading Glace Bay's Renaissance, offering the finest dining, outshining Sydney's fare in both food quality and exemplary service. I challenged the staff by completely underdressing for the occasion and the staff made not one snitty face or comment. Katie was especially gracious while serving my elderly Dad and my dear friend with special needs. Our meals were spectacular. The menu changes with the seasons. See the photos, to see the quality, then book yourself a seating.
Tonight we dined at The Brixton for my birthday. There was lots of free parking on the street and we got a nice table close to the window. Service was excellent, food was delicious and beautifully plated, and the atmosphere was inviting and warm. The bathroom was clean and spacious. There is a gorgeous outdoor space as well. Prices were reasonable and it was a very enjoyable dining experience. Will go again!
The Brixton team recently catered a surprise retirement party for my parents and it was nothing short of amazing. Tam, Julia and their team were a dream to work with. The food was incredible, the service outstanding and the whole experience was 5 stars. If you are having a private event and are looking to have it handled professionally, look no further. I have high standards- and they exceeded them.
Really good food! The pork belly package and perogies were absolutely delicious the meat was very soft and perogies full of flavour. We had the duck confit with rissotto. Was very flavourful perfect meal for a cold day. Service was great! Will definitely visit again.
Absolute gem of a place, food, service, and atmosphere is amazing!!!!! Would go again and again!!!! Definitely recommend
Possibly the worst dining experience we have ever had. We were very interested in trying a locally owned spot but will actively discourage anyone we know from eating there. Can t say anything good. So many aspects of the evening were terrible hard to know where to start . At one point we as customers were blamed for the problems which were numerous because we ordered appetizers. The waitress complained about us as customers to another table while my husband was trying to pay for our not existent meal. We do not feel it is unreasonable to book reservations 2 hrs before we needed to leave the restaurant and expect food before we had to leave. There are many details I could elaborate on but it appears customer service is not a priority . Could not post review without picking what we tried to order. Also called manager/owner next day and he said he would look into it and get back to me it has been a week without any contact from owner/ chef Kid-friendliness: Would be a terrible place to bring children
Chef inspired 48 seat restaurant and didnt disappoint, decor to atmosphere was perfect, scallops were seared perfectly and all the dishes were so flavorful and presentable. Sheri was great and personable. Hard to find a spot like this in Sydney or Glace bay but 10/10 thank you Brixton.
Easily the best restaurant in Cape Breton. Worth every penny, and we keep going back. Excellent staff, and good cocktails too!
Great service and the food was amazing, you won t be disappointed.
Diamond in the rough, consistently a great experience from food/drinks/service.
Food was phenomenal, we had the tenderloin, would highly recommend this place
Lovely ambiance, incredible food, and gorgeous cocktails!
This place has the best food in all of Glace Bay! There I said it! It reminds me of options like I used to have in Halifax. Its just fantastic.
We had tickets to see Dear Rita at The Savoy Theatre, directly across the street from this restaurant. Unfortunately, our gps took us on a scenic route from Sydney to Glace Bay so we were 15 mins late for our reservation which meant we were a bit pressed for time - this is not a fast food place so plan accordingly (no fault but our own). We shared the artichoke dip with crostini, the former a bit underwhelming and the latter a bit salty but very yummy; our companions had the oysters and enjoyed them. My husband and I both ordered the burger and potato wedges, the burger was GIANT and probably one of the best burgers ever tasted. The potato wedges were a bit meh in that they seemed more suited to a breakfast plate (eg omelette) but the burger was so huge that it didnt really matter. (I didnt see fries on the menu, I dont think they have a deep fryer.) My SIL had the beef tenderloin which she said was perfect; my BIL tried the duck and said it was good. Unfortunately we did not have time for coffee and/or a dessert but overall, our meals were very good and would definitely recommend (just leave yourself plenty of time). When we realized that time was slipping away, we asked our Server if we could settle the bill while waiting for our meals, and she very quickly and efficiently attended to this (service with a smile!). Overall, we would recommend!
Tams and Julia hit it out if the park at my surprise retirement party. They crafted an exceptional creative and culinary experience- truly a night to remember.
My best restaurant experience on Cape Breton so far. The tenderloin was on the point perfect medium rare and almost melting in the mouth.
Been to the Brixton quite a few times now and each time we go, we never leave disappointed. The food, drinks and service are absolutely amazing.
The brixton is a beautiful restaurant with delicious food and drinks. The service is incredible and they will work with you to ensure customer satisfaction. We had the pleasure of having the brixton cater our rehearsal dinner and wedding. The food was absolutely delicious and was tailored perfectly to me and my now wife. The customer service was unbelievable. They made us feel special and comfortable leading up to the wedding. When you are trying to make sure dozens of things fall into place on your wedding day its nice to not have to worry about your catering since we were in the hands of professionals. We would highly recommend eating at the brixton for a nice date night. If you were looking to have an event catered they will make the event that much better with their delicious food and hospitality. Vegetarian options: Will take recommendations. Dietary restrictions: Will take recommendations.
Visited this place for our anniversary! Great atmosphere, the food and drinks were amazing and friendly staff! The owner - great guy and good conversation!
The only place that has ever presented a charcuterie board that served as a meal. Absolutely beautiful. Cool vibe. Cant wait to try more off the menu!
Great food and great staff
Ive had the pleasure of dining here a few times and I have had an excellent experience each time. From the food, to the staff, to the atmosphere, everything is too notch. Glace Bay is lucky to have a restaurant of this caliber. Will keep on returning:)
The service was Great and the food was delicious.
Appies and the best Cosmo ever. The food was absolutely excellent - beautiful presentation and service with a smile. Will definitely be back
Food is very expensive, not coming back here!
The food was very good. The service was top shelf. We arrived a little early but they sat us and had drinks on the table quickly. A very friendly place. Highly recommend.
What a great little restaurant! The food was absolutely amazing. Staff and service was top notch. Been several times and never disappoints. IMO hands down the best restaurant in CBRM. From cocktails, appetizers to the main courses and desserts every course is superb. Plus there is always a complimentary type of bread accompanied by a daily infused butter served on arrival. What a beautiful addition to Downtown Glace Bay. Try it! Its across from the Savoy! Parking: Several spot on the street in front as well as large parking lol at the rear of the restaurant. Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level access to the restaurant.
Great beer garden. Cant wait for the restaurant to open!
When someone talk about food, and searching a good place, I would personally recommend The Brixton. Why so ? Because the food, environment and staff at the restaurant makes your day perfect and money worth spending. The Brixton restaurant is offering real healthy food. Especially if you are looking for VEGETARIAN and GLUTEN-FREE food.
The food was really good and they were really very hospitable
Had a great evening. Awesome food. Awesome drink. Awesome service. So nice to see this. We will be back, for sure. Cant wait for the beer garden to open as well.
Amazing food and experience every time. Never had an item I didn t love. 10/10!
The food was fantastic and the service was lovely.
You need to eat here. This place is fantastic and worth the drive to Glace Bay just to sit down and enjoy what this kitchen has to offer. The sliders were spicy. The tuna tartare was fresh, savory, and tangy. The charcuterie had a fantastic mix of dried fruits, nuts and cheese. Would definitely eat here again and I am telling everyone I know about it.
Terrible service
Just finished an amazing meal at The Brixton. It felt like I crossed the Causeway - a big city dining experience in downtown Glace Bay. The food, atmosphere and service were all outstanding. I can t wait to go back!
Great place for food and drinks. Great list of cocktails. Ambiance is great inside. Beer garden is nice during the summer. Expect good quality, tasty and refined food. Fall menu is wonderful with ravioli, beef tenderloin. Perfect place if youre tired of the burgers and fries in Sydney.
Amazing food Beautiful presentation
Had a good food
What a spectacular experience. We started of with the handmade pierogis followed by the duck confit and the pumpkin ravioli. All were excellent. If you are in Cape Breton you have to visit The Brixton! Will be back for sure.
Great food and wonderful atmosphere. Nice to spend the evening on a meal prepared with culinary skill and love.
Had our Christmas party here and it was lovely. Top of the line service.
Fabulous
Best beef tenderloin ever! Service and food is always top notch
Very relaxing and nice, awesome local brews, highly recommended!
