Review Summary

Else's comes across as a warm, cozy, and characterful spot on a charming Montreal street, with a welcoming energy and a mix of intimate tables and lively chatter that makes it feel both neighborhood and special; the menu is small but well loved, delivering comforting dishes like mac and cheese, dumplings, chicken curry, pulled pork tacos, and other crowd favorites, complemented by a house blonde beer and thoughtful cocktails; decor and atmosphere draw on Nordic roots and bookish curiosities, creating a unique sense of place that feels removed from the city grind; service is repeatedly praised for friendliness and attentiveness, though crowds can slow things down and noise levels can be high; the overall sentiment is that Else's is a must visit for a casual dinner, a date night, or a social hangout, described as a hidden gem by many and a place that invites return, with occasional notes about slower service or a wish for outdoor seating or moments of quieter conversation.

The ambience & service is really nice, the food options are limited but tasty.
Cocktails made well too. It gets quite busy at least when I was there on public holiday & dinner time.
I tried an espresso martini & it was yummy for coffee lovers.

Une expérience agréable dans l'ensemble. L'ambiance en soirée est un peu trop sombre à mon goût, & le restaurant peut devenir très bruyant à certains moments. Cependant, la nourriture est bonne & j'ai été agréablement surprise par la qualité de mon cocktail, vraiment excellent. Une bonne adresse si l'on cherche un endroit décontracté pour manger & boire.

Cute bar - my friends & I were able to play cards. The happy hour for simple cocktail mixes (2 for 1) ends at 7pm!

The warm winter cocktails are the best!

Busy even on a Tuesday night in January, probably because it has a great atmosphere. I also tried the grapefruit cocktail which was decent but strong. Service was quick & friendly.
