Else's se présente comme un lieu chaleureux et cosy, où la cuisine est de qualité et les portions généreuses, l'ambiance est conviviale et l'endroit respire une énergie de quartier, avec une décoration évoquant les racines norvégiennes et des touches d'art sur les tables. Le service est généralement sympathique et attentif, et les plats qui reviennent souvent en mémoire incluent les dumplings, le mac and cheese, les shrimp tacos et le porc effiloché, le tout accompagné d'une bière blonde maison et de cocktails bien faits. Beaucoup décrivent l'expérience comme une belle découverte propice aux soirées entre amis ou à un rendez-vous, même si le lieu peut devenir bruyant et que le service peut parfois manquer de constance ou de suivi selon les moments. Des détails comme les livres et l'atmosphère unique renforcent le charme, tandis que certains souhaiteraient une terrasse extérieure pour les soirées d'été. Dans l'ensemble, Else's est perçu comme un spot distinctif du plateau, chaleureux et accueillant, avec une gastronomie solide et une ambiance qui donne envie de revenir.
I really enjoyed it here! the ambiance is chill & casual, great for a nice meet up with friends / a chill work session / or simply to enjoy a good beer with a partner!
Everything about this place is absolutely amazing. We came in on Tuesday afternoon for lunch on the recommendation of a friend, & we were not disappointed. We ordered the butter chicken & the shrimp tacos & 2 pints of blonde beer. We've been living in Montreal for 3 years & wish we had discovered this place sooner. The male bartender was absolutely AMAZING, best service we've had in Montreal. We will be back very soon!

Came in after a couple two many beers at a poetry night nearby with my wife. The waiter that welcomed us was super nice as well as the one that took our order. love y'all. unfortunately the food didn't meet our post bar graillance. On est rentré avec de la earth shattering graillance & le burger (double mini burger) n'a pas satisfait ma faim & expectations mais le goût étais tout du moin impeccable. Par exemple, l'ambiance étais vraiment incroyable. Ça parait qu'on est sur le plateau #woke. Overall tout fesait une expérience exquise & service 10/10. Place recommandée pour rallumer la flamme ou éviter un divorce.
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.
Came here with a few friends to have a drink. When I came at 930pm it was packed which is understandable. However, it's not reasonable for the staff to take 7 minutes to understand you are standing there at the door waiting to ask for table time. We ended up being put at the bar which was fine. Ordered a few beers & realized what I was given I've seen at the SAQ sold for $3 a can & sold for 10$ at the bar.
Tucked away in a typical plateau neighborhood is one of my favourite bars in Montreal. The selection of beer is great & the food has gotten a lot better recently, but sometimes the service can be neglectful.
What a wonderful place, amazing crew (thanks Alexia!), super beers, great music, fantastic vibe, beautiful decor.. made our trip to Montreal so much more memorable 💕 thank you! Will be back when in Montreal
