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.

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.

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!! ✨💖

Was pleasantly surprised by the whole thing. An intimate cozy venue filled with a Scottish charm, & the food is worth it. I had the leg of Lamb dish & it was delicious, fell off the bone. I hesitantly tried some of the Haggis, & don't let the name get to you because it was nothing of what I expected, especially with it's presentation, & just blew my mind at how good it all was. A great spot for a date night.

I have never had Scottish food so can't speak to the authenticity of what we ate but every single dish was delicious. 4 of us (plus a 2 year old) split two of the small bites, 3/4 mains (only because the fourth wasn't yet available for the soft opening), 2 sides, & 2 desserts, & everyone was happy (especially kiddo who ate everything & liked the haggis & the lamb the best!). Their namesake stout is phenomenal, & my cocktail with home pressed green apple juice was also excellent.

Service was also phenomenal. Having a nice meal out is tough with a toddler but they made it special for him too. We all had a great time & can't wait to go back!
