Review Summary

Bruce is widely praised as a delightful discovery with a warm, cozy atmosphere and a strong Scottish culinary focus. Dishes such as haggis, lamb shank, Cullen Skink, croquettes, mushrooms, blood sausage, ginger cake and cranachan are highlighted, often paired with a thoughtful whisky list and a notable stout. The bread with goat butter and a range of seafood and vegetables show careful preparation, while the service is described as attentive and friendly and the vibe as authentic yet refined. Portions are generous and flavors hearty and comforting, though a few reviews note that some dishes can be pricey and that the dining room can be a bit loud. Overall the consensus points to a standout experience in Montreal that many would return to and recommend to friends, combining comfort food with a modern Scottish twist.

When great food & service come together it's a memorable night out.

All our appetizers & mains were spot on. Served with good stout & scotch we all left happy.

Will be on my list every time I'm in town.

Perfect dishes with PERFECT serving of stout. As a person who loved stout specifically for more than 10 years, their serving of stout was really over the top.

Great Scottish food & very friendly staff! The Cullen Skink Smoked Cod was outstanding paired with the Bruce Stout. Don't forget dessert, the Cranachan was delicious!

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!

Went on opening night. I have had Haggis all over Scotland & I can say without doubt this is Haggis on a completely new, brilliant level. The team at Bruce have taken hearty food & made it even more flavorful & high end, giving traditional food sympathetic treatment but a high end twist. The service is top notch, desserts were amazing & their home brewed Stout is some of the best in the city. We can't wait to go back!
