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.
The ambience & service is really nice, the food options are limited but tasty.
Cocktails made well too. It gets quite busy at least when I was there on public holiday & dinner time.
I tried an espresso martini & it was yummy for coffee lovers.
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.
Atmosphere perfect. Drinks delicious. Food was delicious but a little confusing. Had the salad & there was lots of competing flavours. I also noticed my friends side salad had dressing poured on it instead of mixed in. I think chefs often forget how challenging it is to mix the dressing into the salad on an already small plate.
Très déçu du service, notre repas & première consomation ont été servis & aucun suivi par la suite. J attendais pour une bière, un gâteau, aucun suivi. Sauf pour remplir notre verre d'eau, sans poser aucune questions pour nous servir autre chose, c est désolant. Premiere & dernière expérience désolé.
Une expérience agréable dans l'ensemble. L'ambiance en soirée est un peu trop sombre à mon goût, & le restaurant peut devenir très bruyant à certains moments. Cependant, la nourriture est bonne & j'ai été agréablement surprise par la qualité de mon cocktail, vraiment excellent. Une bonne adresse si l'on cherche un endroit décontracté pour manger & boire.
