At Bruce, we serve comforting, hearty dishes like haggis, Cullen skink, smoked haddock, black pudding, and a few boozy desserts.
Chef Scott Love leads the kitchen, bringing a background shaped in Scotland.
The drinks list is well thought out - Wine, Scotch, classic cocktails, and organic beer from Terre à Boire in Saint-Blaise.
The space is warm and familiar - dark wood, stained glass lights, and old family photos on the walls.
Drop in for a drink, something sweet, or a solid meal.
Slàinte.

The blood pudding & haggis-dishes that can traditionally be intimidating-were done to perfection & proved approachable for anyone.

Went here for Hogmanay (NYE). Excellent & friendly service from all the staff.
Crumpet was alright. The cauliflower purée had a lumpy oatmeal texture to it that wasn't great. Haggis was pretty good, well seasoned. Scallop was nice but I was expecting more than one. The chocolate mousse & pecans were great finish. The xeres added a bit of a cherry flavour to it.
The Glesga cuppa was overpowered by the IRN BRU & just tasted like Orange Crush. The Bruce Martinez was smooth & well balanced. Selkie's kick was nice as well.
Enjoyed the music (Class Actress was a welcome surprise). The generic Christmas lights had a weird effect on my photos though as they reflected off the plates. Also using a lion logo when Scotland is more strongly associated with the unicorn is an odd choice.

Great service, great staff everything was great
. However the food is extremely overpriced. The Sunday roast for 55$ is ridiculous. Mostly side dishes & 2 thin slices of roast. A lovely experience that was brought down by an absurd price. I understand that margins are low & that it's difficult, but this just felt like completely unfair portion for what is supposed to be a special menu. There is no restaurant I have ever gone to where I left hungry after spending 50$. Unfortunately will not be coming back

Nous avons passés une merveilleuse soirée! Nous avons goûté à chacun des plats sur la carte & absolument tout était délicieux! Nous y étions en gang pour un party de bureau de Noël & c'était génial comme ambiance & comme service. J'ai adoré le look qui nous fait voyager & toutes les petites attentions écossaises dans le menu, le décor & même chez certain membre de l'équipe. Bien hâte d'y retourner!! ✨💖

Was pleasantly surprised by the whole thing. An intimate cozy venue filled with a Scottish charm, & the food is worth it. I had the leg of Lamb dish & it was delicious, fell off the bone. I hesitantly tried some of the Haggis, & don't let the name get to you because it was nothing of what I expected, especially with it's presentation, & just blew my mind at how good it all was. A great spot for a date night.

First time having Scottish food & I can say it will NOT be my last. On top of the amazing food, the atmosphere is incredibly cozy & feels intimate; as if you are immediately friend or family just by sitting there. Owners came to the table & were so sweet & welcoming. The wine selection is also amazing, including a lot of local options. I highly recommend this place - go by yourself, with friends or family. It'll be a great time, if not you can blame it on me!
