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 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.

This place truly feels like a hidden gem. From the moment we walked in, the cozy & inviting vibes stood out & set the tone for a great experience. I ordered an Aperol Spritz, & it was absolutely amazing perfectly balanced, refreshing, & well made. It complemented the food really well & was a great way to start the evening.

For food, we ordered the chicken dumplings, & they were incredibly good flavorful, well-cooked, & easily one of my favorite dishes of the night. We also tried the sliders, which had a soya patty, & surprisingly, I loved them much more than I expected. They were delicious, satisfying, & packed with flavor.

My friends ordered the quesadilla with Portuguese sausage, & once again, it was amazing. It was well-seasoned, hearty, & clearly a hit at the table. Every single item we ordered stood out in its own way, & there honestly wasn't anything that disappointed us.

What impressed me the most was the consistency everything we ate was amazing. I don't often get the chance to say that almost every item on a menu feels this well done, but so far, this place has delivered. The food, drinks, & overall atmosphere worked together perfectly.

I definitely want to come back to try more items from the menu because this visit left me genuinely excited to explore what else they offer. Overall, a fantastic experience & a place I'd happily recommend.
