Restaurant Bruce Montreal Restaurant: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)
ScottishComfort FoodGreat selection of beersGreat selection of cocktailsPubResto-Bar

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.

Review Summary

Reviews describe Bruce as a cozy, intimate spot with a strong Scottish vibe, offering a warm atmosphere and attentive, professional service alongside a menu of elevated traditional dishes. The food ranges from haggis and lamb shank to Cullen Skink, fish of the day, croquettes, grilled mushrooms and purées, finished with desserts like cranachan, all complemented by a notable selection of Scotch and house stout. The overall tone is that of a welcoming neighborhood favorite where thoughtful plating, generous portions, and care in sourcing and preparation stand out, creating a sense of authenticity and heart. Service is repeatedly praised for warmth and knowledge, with staff who engage about the menu and origins of ingredients, making guests feel cared for without pretense. Some comments point to high prices or occasional noise, but many reviews highlight the value, the cozy rustic charm, and the ability to turn meals into memorable experiences, whether for a casual dinner or special occasions.

I have never had Scottish food so can't speak to the authenticity of what we ate but every single dish was delicious. 4 of us (plus a 2 year old) split two of the small bites, 3/4 mains (only because the fourth wasn't yet available for the soft opening), 2 sides, & 2 desserts, & everyone was happy (especially kiddo who ate everything & liked the haggis & the lamb the best!). Their namesake stout is phenomenal, & my cocktail with home pressed green apple juice was also excellent.

Service was also phenomenal. Having a nice meal out is tough with a toddler but they made it special for him too. We all had a great time & can't wait to go back!
