This place is truly a hidden gem in Montreal, tucked away on one of the city's cutest & most charming streets. We stumbled upon it on Halloween night, & it turned out to be one of the best spontaneous decisions we made that evening. The atmosphere was warm, cozy, & full of life - the kind of place that immediately makes you feel welcome. Despite showing up as a group of eight without a reservation, the staff went out of their way to find us a table, which was honestly impressive on such a busy night.
The service was excellent - friendly, attentive, & relaxed in the best way. We ordered a mix of dishes, including the chicken teriyaki, mac & cheese, salad, & mini burgers. The mac & cheese definitely stood out as the highlight: creamy, flavorful, & perfectly comforting for a chilly night. The mini burgers were also tasty, though they were quite small & better suited as individual portions rather than for sharing.
Overall, this spot strikes a perfect balance between cozy & lively. It's the kind of place that works equally well for a casual night out with friends or a laid-back dinner date. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try - especially if you love finding those lesser-known Montreal spots with great vibes & solid food.
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
La nourriture est délicieuse & les drinks sont super bons! Superbe ambiance & bel endroit, avec un très bon service. Je recommande fortement cet endroit!! 👌🏽
This is my first visit here. Early summer travel from Ottawa. At first glance at the menu I did not see the typical, appetizer, salad, soup, entree dinner menu selection one would normally expect. At first I was, ok, so I ordered the dumplings, wings & ribs to share with my wife. Catherine was on the ball for service. The food was amazing, I shared some food with my 4 friends at the table because I wanted to them to try it. The wings were served with an arugula noodle salad & it was delicious, ribs with a creamy double baked potato & the dumplings with 2 dipping sauces & charred just right on the edges. The whole table was impressed with all of their meals. We want to make a shout out to Sam & Josh who were the cooks working tonight's shift. Highly recommend this place, I suspect you will have to wait in like to get in here when it is busy. We'll worth it. Chris
Lovely bar, amazing atmosphere to be with friends but could also be a fun date spot. Service was great! My friend & I were given free shots when asked if we would consider moving to another table to make room for a larger group. 10/10, recommend :)
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.
