Amazing Sunday Lamb Roast!

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.

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.

Une très belle experience de restauration. Service impeccable. La nourriture sort de l'ordinaire & est très bon. Ambiance chaleureuse quoique un peu trop bruyante à mon goût. C'est quand même un peu cher, mais ça en vaut le coût.

My first Scottish restaurant in Griffintown & a really awesome venue 😇😇 We loved the ambient atmosphere & the staff was super nice, kind, & helpful 🙏🙏 From the maître d' to the server & the bartender it was fantastic service the entire time! We had the Chardonnay & then moved into the appetizers - sourdough, goat butter, & croquettes & it was beyond tasty ❤?❤? For the main dish I had the lamb shank with risotto & my husband had the Fish of the Day & each bite was super delicious ❤?❤? Our full compliments to the chefs for making such a gourmet's delight made with so much attention & care 🙏🙏 Finally for dessert I had the chocolate mousse & my husband had the ginger loaf & it was heaven on earth ❤?❤? Cannot wait to come back to this 11/10 Scottish restaurant & try other amazing items on its menu with the best staff & service 😇😇

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.
