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.

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 😇😇

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!
