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.
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.

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.
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.

Hands down my favourite bar in the plateau. I haven't eaten much of their food but what I've had has been delicious! I love the vibe in here. I will always suggest this bar. It's my plan A & my plan B. It can get pretty busy towards the weekend, but if you're willing to wait a few you can usually get a table. The staff here are very good with that.
Plenty of character & personality. Great drink & food selection. Super nice ambiance & staff. The most cozy of places :) look for the book of secrets! Their food is delicious, specially the tacos & I love the winter warm drinks selection specially the Grog du Plateau.
Plateau's hidden gem & a true local favorite of a bar. A very special vibe & unique interior. It has all the drinks & nice food options on the menu. Just sit back, relax, & watch life goes by.
A quaint cozy bar with lots of personality! After being a few times now, the best part of Else's is the ambiance. Though they have a food menu, it mostly is a place to grab drinks & their hot ciders are notably delicious. Expect to wait up to 20 minutes for a table most nights, I've never not seen it packed & people like to linger late. The prices for drinks are reasonable but not the cheapest for food. Their cheesecake is creamy & soft making a solid dessert choice. Accessibility wise there is a step at the double doors, & it's quite close quarters between tables & the bar seating. I would recommend in the area if you are looking for a quintessential plateau bar experience.

Very cute bar on the plateau, clearly a place peoples go for first dates, it was super crowded & the place is kinda small so you can be really stuck. As for the food it was ok nothing special & I ain’t a fan of resto/bar making food from so many different places instead of focusing on making one type of food right & excellent. Personally they tried to mixed different cuisine together & for me the quesadilla with the Portuguese sausage wasn’t really going together since the Portuguese sausage is really over powering the taste of the whole meal. The salad was missing dressing for sure. The shrimp taco were good tho. The service was super slow & not so good my water glass was always empty & I was the only one at my table not drinking alcool…the waitress also asked us if we wanted spicy sauce which we did but by the time she came back we ended up starting to eat since it was super long before she came back & everybody like to eat while it’s hot, we almost finish our plates by the time we had the sauce. But overall it’s a cute place, to eat maybe not the place but clearly it’s a bar first, I believe when you just go with a friend for a drink it’s a good place.
