Best margaritas ever! Delicious espresso martini as well. Mac & cheese was excellent, with a very flavourful bbq sauce on top. Brussels sprouts salad was pretty good. This place is small & cozy. Love the local vibe.

New fave for sure! Great atmosphere & cozy vibes, delicious food, good drinks, & a lovely staff. It can get pretty busy in here but for very good reason! if you're coming with a group I'd recommend calling ahead or be willing to wait if you come around dinner time. The food is very affordable & i definitely recommend the butter chicken & Mac n cheese + pulled pork! The pulled pork sandwiches were quite small though in comparison to our other food. I'm still thinking about this meal & will be coming back soon :)

I have been going there for over 20 years on & off, & never ever I was disappointed with anything wether it was food, drinks or the ambience. I think this place is magic, perfect for dates or just to meet friends. I have noting but good things to say about the place, the staff & the owners.

I have been enjoying the charm of Else's for 20 years. It is a must in the Le Plateau. Madeline just poured me the mis delicious Kir Royal. Excellent scotch menu & just learned they have an available ramp to help with access up their one entry step for any in a wheelchair. Excellent food & usually serving until at least 12:30. Have a really great photo but google isn't giving me option to include.
