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.

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!

First time having Scottish food & I can say it will NOT be my last. On top of the amazing food, the atmosphere is incredibly cozy & feels intimate; as if you are immediately friend or family just by sitting there. Owners came to the table & were so sweet & welcoming. The wine selection is also amazing, including a lot of local options. I highly recommend this place - go by yourself, with friends or family. It'll be a great time, if not you can blame it on me!
