Adam got the fish and chips and it was good but not enough tartar sauce was given and they fried it in a way that was meh (the fish wouldn't stay inside the fried case). I highly recommend coming here and eating a nice bowl of chowder while admiring the views.

This was a great meal…read more My boyfriend had the mussels, and the burger. He was just so happy! He keeps raving about the mussels and the broth. They have gf buns. I had the turkey club and it was not lunch meat like I expected, chunks of real turkey! Really great gluten free bread. It was too much food me with all the bread (basically 4 pieces of full sized bread). If get back here I would order it again but just have them put it in 2 pieces. I enjoyed it immensely. The fries are NOT in a dedicated fryer and are contaminated, but they can sub for mashed potatoes and they're darn good! Great waitstaff!

We stayed for a week and enjoyed two dinners at the Markland. The food is pretty good, especially…read morebecause there aren't many places to eat up here! We tried an array of items including the fish chowder (highly recommend), scallops, seafood pasta, steak, halibut, and lobster. All were good but the standouts were the chowder and lobster dinner. We also had the complimentary breakfast every morning which was a nice perk during our stay. The quiche was a staple in the AM. Only thing missing was sausage or bacon. Would recommend if you are staying here or nearby. Since I'm from MA I've had a lot of amazing seafood in New England so it's hard to compete!

I enjoyed their fish a lot (had the salmon and the cod) but they were slightly overdone. Not enough to make me not enjoy it though. But for fish connoisseurs, you'll notice. They give you the choice of soup/salad, main meal, dessert, and plenty of drink options. The servers are quick and so friendly. I loved eating here. In the morning they serve breakfast buffet style. They offer cereals, quiche, muffins, hard boiled eggs, homemade bread, juice, coffee, yoghurt, and plenty of fruits. Sadly no bacon. Breakfast is offered from 8-10am.

They have scentic views outside. I only ordered the lobster club sandwich ($35). The food was okay, I expected it would have more lobster stuffed in the sandwich but it was not. The fries were crispy, and they gave me salt and pepper. If you are close by and wanted to stop there for a bit, you can stop there and get some food/snack, but not a must-go recommendation in cape Breton.

The portion sizes are astounding: it seems that they are putting an entire lobster into each sandwich. The same goes for the lobster poutine.

We chose this restaurant based on the location of our hotel, keep in mind there aren't many options around. I think this was also the reason this restaurant was busy! The grilled scallop burger was the best dish of the night! The seafood platter was mediocre, nothing special. It had calamari, fries, shrimp, oysters, and haddock... maybe more? I can't recall. The clam chowder was not it. It wasn't creamy like the clam chowder I'm used to and was the worst dish of the night. The biscuit was okay, not buttery enough in my opinion. The lobster roll was mediocre. It was my first time trying lobster rolls and my expectations were way higher as many people love them! I'm not sure if it's because there wasn't enough sauce or the sauce just wasn't that tasty. We also subbed the fries for a caesar salad and were charged the price of an extra caesar salad ($9) rather than just an added substitute price. The milkshakes were great! The vanilla milkshake tasted like french vanilla ice cream and the strawberry milkshake was also really good. A bit small for the price. Overall, wouldn't visit again. The view is great though!
