They say it themselves on their menu- this is not a restaurant, but a bar that started to serve food so as to stop getting fined/be able to stay open. Their drinks are fine (though options are limited), the bar itself is great, but the food is terrible. Service could definitely be improved as well.

Plenty of character & personality. Great drink & food selection. Super nice ambiance & staff. The most cozy of places :) look for the book of secrets! Their food is delicious, specially the tacos & I love the winter warm drinks selection specially the Grog du Plateau.

A quaint cozy bar with lots of personality! After being a few times now, the best part of Else's is the ambiance. Though they have a food menu, it mostly is a place to grab drinks & their hot ciders are notably delicious. Expect to wait up to 20 minutes for a table most nights, I've never not seen it packed & people like to linger late. The prices for drinks are reasonable but not the cheapest for food. Their cheesecake is creamy & soft making a solid dessert choice. Accessibility wise there is a step at the double doors, & it's quite close quarters between tables & the bar seating. I would recommend in the area if you are looking for a quintessential plateau bar experience.
