Wow I was blown away by this restaurant. What a refreshing menu. The leeks with kale pesto were so delicate, the mushrooms had a delicious sauce & the lamb shank felt like a cozy Christmas dish. The only thing that could be improved is the noise. Maybe the music could be a little lower so people didn't have to talk so loud. I can't wait to go back & try the other dishes!

What a lovely experience. We were served by JP & welcomed with open arms by Camille & Will. The vibe was very cozy & the food was incredible….the lamb shank & Sunday roast has unbelievable flavours. My mom & cousin were visiting & both have Scottish origins it was the perfect the spot. I will most definitely be back & have been telling everyone about it.

Such a great find!

It was my first time at Bruce Taverne Écossaise & I genuinely loved the experience. The atmosphere is warm & cozy, you feel comfortable as soon as you walk in.

The service was amazing, very attentive without being too much, which makes a big difference.

& the haggis (my first time trying it!) was honestly delicious, so rich & comforting.

I'll definitely be coming back 😊

I can't believe this is a new restaurant, because it doesn't feel like it in any way.

It instantly feels cozy, rustic & timeless. You get the Scottish tavern feel with incredibly elevated dishes, full of flavour & heartiness. The charred oyster mushrooms are out of this world, the sourdough bread with goat butter is unreal. It's comfort food that will satisfy even the most discerning foodies of Montreal.

The service was incredible. The attention to detail, from cleaning up between every course, to refolding the napkin when you go to the bathroom, to taking your coats as soon as you enter & giving the right ones back without asking. Flawless.

You can tell there's serious high-end hospitality experience behind this place. It feels polished but never pretentious, refined yet full of soul. What a unique blend!

I've never been to Scotland, although it's on my list, but this place made me feel like I experienced a little piece of it right in the heart of Saint-Henri. It already feels like a neighbourhood staple, & it's definitely going on my list of places I'll bring friends visiting from out of town. Outstanding.

Had a wonderful Burns night supper here with a party of 6. Staff were friendly & accommodating, the atmosphere was very cozy & home-like. The haggis was excellent, as was the rest of it. The band (& poetry recital!) just added to an already brilliant dining experience. Thank you.
