Outings these days are less frequent for my partner and myself and although it’s good to try new places, we find ourselves at Else’s most of the time. The ambiance is always welcoming and cozy and the food, simple yet flavourful. The drinks hit the spot and don’t hurt your wallet too much due to some nice 2for1 happy hour specials. It doesn’t stop at the menu. The staff is also very friendly and hard working, causing us to leave with a smile each time. Lastly, just when you think you’ve seen it all, they guide you towards the world’s best slice of carrot cake you’ve ever had (sorry mum). Please give this place a chance or 2 and you won’t regret it!

Cute little pub, had a vegan option and multiple vegetarian option. I took the veggie burger which was good but super salty. The coleslaw was perfect for this. I’d come again because drinks weren’t too expensive, quick service and cute place!

I only got the chance to try the pulled pork sandwich but it was delicious. The proportion of meat to slider bun was perfect. As a self-proclaimed coleslaw connoisseur, I had no complaints. The portion seemed a bit small at first but it was very filling. Relatively fairly priced (~$14). The service was fast and the waitstaff were friendly!
The menu is really eclectic (some might even say ethnically ambiguous). While ranging from butter chicken/tofu to tacos, I have a lot of faith that Else's surely kills these dishes as well!
Cool vibes too. There was also an enthused group of middle-aged men behind us and their camaraderie really elevated things and provided a great backdrop for our dining experience.
Would come back, especially to try to their (very fairly-priced) cocktails!!

Perfect place to chill with office mates, friends or family after work. Arguably some of the best shrimp tacos I have had in a while. Also, they managed to make an absolutely decadent soy burger! Highly recommend this quaint little place!
P.S. : Big shout-out to that fresh coleslaw on the side of the burger.

Pas mal. Service was quite slow when we ate there; it took almost an hour for our food. The carrots in my salad were undercooked. It was understandable though because the kitchen was quite understaffed that day.
Other than that, the servers were very friendly and although it was quite late, the rest of the food was good.
We enjoyed the vibe in there and the strange decoration of trolls.

Good drinks and good food! The vegan burger and tacos were excellent.

Atmosphere of this bar is between hipster and kitsch. Diner payment method. Service was friendly. Menu was limited but had some good pics. We tried the mac and cheese and the mini Bison burgers…man they truly were mini for 16 bucks though :”) Quality was average, portions were not great. Price is average for plateau.

Very cool environment with a lot of tasty drinks to try. Great service and ambiance for a night out.

Evolving over the last 30-odd years from cozy local dive serving booze on a not-technically-legal license to a cozy destination bar with an excellent menu (and a fantastic selection of whiskey), Else's is one of those places that won't appear in most tourist guides but is an absolute must-visit for anyone looking for a taste of real Montreal. And it's still a great local dive ;)

The Plateau is not really my favorite spot cause its hard to find a parking but this restaurant bar was worth it to pay 8$ in the parcometre �lol. Good food,amazing atmosphere for a 5 a7 ¬ expensive at all�...and the butter chicken is really delicious ���

Un cadre chaleureux et très tentant... Par contre un service, non pas médiocre mais inexistant ! J'y étais le lundi soir 28 Novembre avec peu de monde aux tables. Cependant la serveuse m'a simplement ignore et jamais servi après 15 minute de patience... Décevant !

Some places just generate memories. That is Else's. The mecca of neighbourhood bars.

My local while I am in Montréal. L'ambiance, c'est si bon. Superb wait staff. Beautiful people, both rich and poor. Delicious food. And the light flooding in at the end of the day. What more could you want. But don't tell anyone.
