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.

Review Summary

Reviews highlight a warm, cozy Scottish vibe and a menu that leans into traditional fare with a modern touch. Dishes such as haggis, Cullen Skink, blood pudding and lamb shank receive frequent praise for flavor and thoughtful balance. The atmosphere is described as intimate and inviting, with a sense of a neighborhood staple that makes guests feel welcome from the moment they arrive. The service is consistently attentive, friendly, and professional, with staff guiding diners through the menu and keeping the dining experience smooth. The drinks program is a plus, featuring interesting cocktails and a strong selection of scotch, beer, and house stout to pair with the dishes. A few reviewers mention high prices or occasional busy noise, but many consider the quality, ambiance, and hospitality to justify the cost, making this a standout destination worth returning to.

😍 For many, it's their first Scottish dining experience & it's a very good one! We had the crispiest fritters we ever had (well done!), haggis fans - this is your only place in town! Perfect seasoning & details, chic decor & above all, an amazing staff team ! Merci!

I noticed this restaurant had just opened nearby so i had it on my list of places to try out for a while as it's rare to find a Scottish restaurant. I made a reservation to celebrate my brother's birthday which gave me an excuse to try this place out.

We ordered the mushrooms, battered blood sausage, & the sourdough to start. The mushroom dish was amazing & even better on top of the sourdough. I found the battered blood sausage to be too heavy & greasy & would have preferred something more than the citris jam (?) on top to to balance out the grease. Otherwise, i enjoyed the taste of the blood sausage itself!

For our mains, we selected the lamb shank & haggis. The lamb shank was beautiful & very flavourful. It was our first time trying haggis & it blew our mind away. Incredibly deep flavours & very peppery. The gravy provided was also complimentary to the haggis. We had asked for additional gravy & they were happy to give us more. I do wish we had something fresh or textured as it was all soft textures across the dish (mashed potato, mashed sweet potato, haggis).

Lastly, we ordered the cranachan (similar to a raspberry fool) & also the ginger cake (similar to a sticky toffee pudding). The ginger cake was incredible & moist. I have high standards for cakes like this with toffee because it's one of my favourite desserts & it met my expectations & beyond. The cranachan was a simpler dessert in comparison.

Overall, incredible service, surprising portion sizes (bigger than expected which is always good!), beautiful decor & ambience.

Would love to be back when they update their seasonal menu.

Nous avons vécue une expérience hors de l'ordinaire … Tout était impeccable : l'accueil chaleureux, le service attentionné & un décor qui crée une ambiance parfaite.
Côté cuisine, c'est un pur délice, tant pour les yeux que pour les papilles. Nous avons fait de magnifiques découvertes de saveurs. Nos coups de coeur : le boudin, le poisson, ainsi que les champignons grillés avec purée de céleri-rave & le pain au gingembre. Une explosion de goûts !
Je recommande cet endroit x 1000 & j'y retournerai sans aucun doute.

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!! ✨💖
