A must go if you are visiting montreal, wishing to study in a warm cozy spot, or on a first date.
Wished they had an outdoor terrace for warm summer nights! (hence the 4 starts on atmosphere)

This place is truly a hidden gem in Montreal, tucked away on one of the city's cutest & most charming streets. We stumbled upon it on Halloween night, & it turned out to be one of the best spontaneous decisions we made that evening. The atmosphere was warm, cozy, & full of life - the kind of place that immediately makes you feel welcome. Despite showing up as a group of eight without a reservation, the staff went out of their way to find us a table, which was honestly impressive on such a busy night.

The service was excellent - friendly, attentive, & relaxed in the best way. We ordered a mix of dishes, including the chicken teriyaki, mac & cheese, salad, & mini burgers. The mac & cheese definitely stood out as the highlight: creamy, flavorful, & perfectly comforting for a chilly night. The mini burgers were also tasty, though they were quite small & better suited as individual portions rather than for sharing.

Overall, this spot strikes a perfect balance between cozy & lively. It's the kind of place that works equally well for a casual night out with friends or a laid-back dinner date. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try - especially if you love finding those lesser-known Montreal spots with great vibes & solid food.

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.

Lovely bar, amazing atmosphere to be with friends but could also be a fun date spot. Service was great! My friend & I were given free shots when asked if we would consider moving to another table to make room for a larger group. 10/10, recommend :)

Very cute bar on the plateau, clearly a place peoples go for first dates, it was super crowded & the place is kinda small so you can be really stuck. As for the food it was ok nothing special & I ain’t a fan of resto/bar making food from so many different places instead of focusing on making one type of food right & excellent. Personally they tried to mixed different cuisine together & for me the quesadilla with the Portuguese sausage wasn’t really going together since the Portuguese sausage is really over powering the taste of the whole meal. The salad was missing dressing for sure. The shrimp taco were good tho. The service was super slow & not so good my water glass was always empty & I was the only one at my table not drinking alcool…the waitress also asked us if we wanted spicy sauce which we did but by the time she came back we ended up starting to eat since it was super long before she came back & everybody like to eat while it’s hot, we almost finish our plates by the time we had the sauce. But overall it’s a cute place, to eat maybe not the place but clearly it’s a bar first, I believe when you just go with a friend for a drink it’s a good place.
