Review Summary

Else's is widely regarded as a charming and cozy hidden gem in Montreal, praised for its inviting atmosphere, eclectic decor, and consistent quality of food and drinks. Patrons frequently highlight the mac and cheese, dumplings, and various taco options as standout dishes, while the house beer and well-crafted cocktails are consistently recommended. Although the venue is popular and can become quite busy and loud during peak hours, most guests appreciate the friendly, accommodating staff and the laid-back, social environment. While some visitors find the portion sizes small or the noise level challenging, the overall consensus is that the pub offers a unique and memorable experience that keeps locals and visitors alike returning for more.

Everything about this place is absolutely amazing. We came in on Tuesday afternoon for lunch on the recommendation of a friend, & we were not disappointed. We ordered the butter chicken & the shrimp tacos & 2 pints of blonde beer. We've been living in Montreal for 3 years & wish we had discovered this place sooner. The male bartender was absolutely AMAZING, best service we've had in Montreal. We will be back very soon!

Came in after a couple two many beers at a poetry night nearby with my wife. The waiter that welcomed us was super nice as well as the one that took our order. love y'all. unfortunately the food didn't meet our post bar graillance. On est rentré avec de la earth shattering graillance & le burger (double mini burger) n'a pas satisfait ma faim & expectations mais le goût étais tout du moin impeccable. Par exemple, l'ambiance étais vraiment incroyable. Ça parait qu'on est sur le plateau #woke. Overall tout fesait une expérience exquise & service 10/10. Place recommandée pour rallumer la flamme ou éviter un divorce.

Else's in Montreal is the kind of date spot you hope to stumble upon-cozy, charming, & effortlessly full of character. Tucked into a quiet corner of the Plateau, it exudes a warm, lived-in atmosphere that makes you feel instantly at home. We settled at a round table nestled among lush plants & vintage artwork, the perfect setting for an unhurried evening. Sharing shrimp tacos & pulled pork mac & cheese, paired with beers that hit all the right notes, we found comfort not just in the food but in the entire experience. The service was genuinely kind, the vibe easygoing, & the space seemed to invite good conversation. It's the sort of place that stays with you.

Came here with a few friends to have a drink. When I came at 930pm it was packed which is understandable. However, it's not reasonable for the staff to take 7 minutes to understand you are standing there at the door waiting to ask for table time. We ended up being put at the bar which was fine. Ordered a few beers & realized what I was given I've seen at the SAQ sold for $3 a can & sold for 10$ at the bar.

Tucked away in a typical plateau neighborhood is one of my favourite bars in Montreal. The selection of beer is great & the food has gotten a lot better recently, but sometimes the service can be neglectful.
