Restaurant Bruce has quickly become a beloved destination in Montreal, celebrated for its cozy atmosphere and elevated approach to Scottish cuisine. Guests consistently praise the high quality of dishes like haggis, lamb shank, and fresh cod, noting that the kitchen successfully balances hearty, traditional flavors with modern culinary techniques. The service is frequently described as attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming, contributing to an intimate dining experience.

😍 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!! ✨💖
