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!

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.

Went here for Hogmanay (NYE). Excellent & friendly service from all the staff.

Crumpet was alright. The cauliflower purée had a lumpy oatmeal texture to it that wasn't great. Haggis was pretty good, well seasoned. Scallop was nice but I was expecting more than one. The chocolate mousse & pecans were great finish. The xeres added a bit of a cherry flavour to it.

The Glesga cuppa was overpowered by the IRN BRU & just tasted like Orange Crush. The Bruce Martinez was smooth & well balanced. Selkie's kick was nice as well.

Enjoyed the music (Class Actress was a welcome surprise). The generic Christmas lights had a weird effect on my photos though as they reflected off the plates. Also using a lion logo when Scotland is more strongly associated with the unicorn is an odd choice.

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
