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 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 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.

What a refreshing Scottish addition to Montreal's food scene! Resto Bruce offers a charming atmosphere for a delightful dinner. The drink & scotch menu is impressive, pairing perfectly with their curated traditional dishes, each with a modern twist. The staff were welcoming & the service was top notch. The food was great, our entire table couldn't stop raving about their selections long after our visit. A definite must try!

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

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

Delicious! The haggis was so light & the vegetable dishes to die for.
