Restaurant Bruce

This contemporary Montreal take on the Scottish tavern opened on Notre-Dame West, named after Barbara Bruce—an Ontario Scot who moved to the city in 1981 to build her own interior design firm. Her son William Charbonneau, his wife Camille Desmarais, chef Scott Love from Glasgow, and beverage director Jean-Philippe Faille created this homage to Scottish craft and hospitality.

The menu features haggis with neeps and tatties, Cullen Skink reimagined as a cod sauce, black pudding with white beans, rumbledethump with potatoes and cabbage. Scotch represents all six Scottish regions. IRN BRU appears in cocktails. Quebec wines from Polisson and Jocamart sit alongside organic beers brewed specifically for Bruce. Unpretentious, welcoming, built to last.
