Dans l'ensemble, Else's est décrit comme un endroit chaleureux, accueillant et éclectique avec une ambiance pub et une énergie sociale, où une carte variée et des boissons maison rencontrent un service sympathique et attentionné; l'ambiance est détendue et conviviale, idéale pour des retrouvailles entre amis, une séance de travail tranquille ou un rendez-vous romantique; les plats vont du poulet au beurre et dumplings au mac and cheese, des tacos de crevettes et des mini burgers, avec des portions satisfaisantes et un bon rapport qualité-prix; l'établissement peut être assez fréquenté et bruyant aux heures d'affluence, mais le caractère unique et la déco chaleureuse donnent envie de revenir.
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 going there for over 20 years on & off, & never ever I was disappointed with anything wether it was food, drinks or the ambience. I think this place is magic, perfect for dates or just to meet friends. I have noting but good things to say about the place, the staff & the owners.

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.
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.

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!
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.
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.
Beautifully decorated bar & good vibes. Drinks were good but the Mac & Cheese was very mediocre. It was more like macaroni with melted cheese on top but no actual Mac&Cheese sauce... October 2024 edit: Mac & cheese with pulled pork was excellent! Creamy & cheesy! Amazing vibes as per usual.
La nourriture est délicieuse & les drinks sont super bons! Superbe ambiance & bel endroit, avec un très bon service. Je recommande fortement cet endroit!! 👌🏽
Truly a fun & chill adult drinkn spot Read a book make new friends sip wine & write poetry Live like a Queen or King in the depths of Montreal! Be creative be inspire true art of life lives here Update: Aug 19 been going there for a few weeks - made no friends & polite conversation seems to be shunned upon … I gotta work harder on my dad jokes … shave or come in with a guitar …

This place is as mystical from the outside as it is on the inside. The decor really sets this place apart. The food was good & reasonably priced, but the taste/quantity could be better. Drinks were excellent.
This place is sooo lovely!! the staff are always friendly & the ambiance is lovely. The interior has really cool decor & the drinks & food are really good! I've been with friends & my mom & everyone loved it!
Great place in the plateau which truly embodies what makes the Montreal restaurant scene so great! The decor is great. Perfect to go with friends or for a date. Food is simple & cozy, nothing complicated. Drinks are great as well.
