Words by Jacqui Chaisson | Photos MHG
The culinary industry has long been male- dominated, but Murphy Hospitality Group is redefining this norm by appointing women to lead both the kitchen and front-of-house operations in several of its establishments. Notably, The Brickhouse Kitchen & Bar, Sims Corner Steakhouse & Oyster Bar, and Vicinato Ristorante offer distinctive dining experiences that showcase PEI's dedication to local cuisine and highlight the significant contributions of women in the hospitality sector.

Established in 2011, The Brickhouse Kitchen & Bar is housed in a building with a storied past. Constructed in the mid-1800s, 125 Sydney Street originally served as a warehouse for Daniel Brenan's importing business. Over the years, it has had several owners, including the celebrated graphic artist and environmental activist Marc Gallant, who used the space as a creative studio in the late 1970s. The restaurant offers a diverse menu designed to cater to various palates, including adventurous eaters, fans of classic dishes, and those with specific dietary needs such as celiac disease or vegan preferences. A standout feature is the Chef's Table, an open kitchen concept
that allows diners to watch their meals being prepared, providing an interactive dining experience. The second floor boasts a trendy space with a cozy bar, while the third-floor lounge, Marc's Lounge, offers a relaxed setting ideal for enjoying meals, cocktails, or hosting private events. Under the leadership of Chef Lucy Morrow and General Manager Emily Duggan, The Brickhouse emphasizes friendly and approachable service, aiming to make guests feel at home while enjoying elevated food and drinks. Their commitment to using local ingredients and creating a lively yet intimate atmosphere has made it a favourite among both locals and visitors.
