Review Summary

Else's is described across reviews as a warm, welcoming and eclectic spot with a lively pub vibe, where a diverse menu and house drinks meet friendly, attentive service; the atmosphere is casual and social, great for meetups with friends, a relaxed work session, or a cozy date, and the food ranges from butter chicken and dumplings to mac and cheese, shrimp tacos, mini burgers, and pork tacos; portions and prices are generally reasonable and many guests say they would return to try more, while the space can get busy and loud at peak times but the energy and decor create a distinctive, comforting experience that keeps people coming back.

Service was truly excellent, & the staff was very welcoming & accommodating.

As for the food, it's genuinely among the best in town. We didn't book ahead, but the wait time was very reasonable. It's a fantastic place to spend quality social time with friends. It can get a bit loud, but in the best way, perfect for laughing your lungs out & enjoying the atmosphere.

We got :
Chicken curry rice - 8/10
Chicken dumplings - 10/10
Quesadilla - 10/10
Mini Bison Burgers - 8.5/10

Came back twice in the past 12 hours (dinner & drinks, & then lunch & drinks), & it hit both times. Friendly staff (who, by the way, will be very accommodating to you speaking French so that you can practice, & won't immediately default to English when they sense an Anglo trying to improve their French), amazing food, & their house (white) wine might just be the best drink in the entire establishment. Else, girl, you did your big one & your staff carries on your legacy.

I met Elsa years ago & what a character she was, the one we read about in books!

To find that Else's now serves pub food, not just snacks?

I wonder if one can still find a moist Johnny cheesecake there…

Excellent sandwich de porc effiloché. Ce sont 2 mini burgers avec une portion de salade de choux.
Trop petite portion pour moi.
Endroit bruyant qui complique les discussions.
Très bel endroit.
Je recommande

C'est quoi ce vacarme ? Nous sommes entrés, nous nous sommes assis, & nous avons dû repartir aussitôt tellement le bruit était insupportable. Je pouvais à peine entendre mon ami assis juste à côté de moi, c'était assourdissant, & je n'exagère pas. Pour les personnes malentendantes, sensibles au bruit, autistes ou ayant d'autres besoins sensoriels, ce genre d'environnement n'est pas seulement désagréable, il est excluant. Un lieu qui ne fait aucun effort pour tenir compte des différents besoins sensoriels n'est pas véritablement accessible.

What's up with the noise? We went in, sat down, & had to immediately leave because it was unbearably loud. I could barely hear my friend sitting right next to me. It was deafening, & I'm not exaggerating. For people who are hard of hearing, sensitive to noise, autistic, or have other sensory needs, this kind of environment isn't just unpleasant, it's exclusionary. A space that doesn't make an effort to accommodate different sensory needs is not truly accessible.

A wonderful eccentric place off St Denis. Not too crowded at lunch. Good menu for appetizers & mains at reasonable prices.

Super belle découverte!
Ambiance chaleureuse & vraiment cozy, parfaite pour une soirée détendue entre amis ou en solo.
Le menu des drinks est varié, avec beaucoup d'options originales, mention spéciale à la bière maison d'Elses que j'ai tout simplement adorée!

Nous avons aussi goûté aux dumplings… délicieux.
La musique est très agréable & pas trop forte, ce qui permet vraiment d'échanger & de profiter du moment sans avoir à parler fort.

En bref, une expérience très agréable, tant pour le lieu que pour ce qu'on y mange & boit. J'y retournerai sans hésiter!
