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
