Everything about this place is absolutely amazing. We came in on Tuesday afternoon for lunch on the recommendation of a friend, and we were not disappointed. We ordered the butter chicken and the shrimp tacos and 2 pints of blonde beer. We’ve been living in Montreal for 3 years and 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!

A quirky fun bistro with a small but excellent menu. Our food was really a treat and I will definitely be a return customer. Highly recommended!!

A must go if you are visiting montreal, wishing to study in a warm cozy spot, or on a first date. Wished they had an outdoor terrace for warm summer nights! (hence the 4 starts on atmosphere)

Yummy hot drink for an arctic day . Delicious carrot cake . Incredible service . Beautiful atmosphere . It’s the type of place you could easily come back to many many times and never get bored
Just got the salad for myself and it was perfectly filling with so many flavors in one place!! Loved the roasted pecans, goat cheese and crispy prosciutto... with so many tables packed into one spot you can only expect service to be so quick. Go for the vibes and community, didn't feel rushed to leave even though the place was packed!!

Almost two decades ago I spent so many wonderful nights at this bar. I'm so glad to see it's still there. A special pause in time amongst the nightlife of Montreal. Many forn memories. Love to the staff.

We were a group of 10 and got overcharged about $50. They double-charged us multiple items but because some of us had left before the last ones, so we only got to realize this later. The owner was not accommodating with this issue.
Highly recommend to close any tab whenever some of your group leaves.
Else's had a special place in my heart but this experience alone just ruined it. I don't trust them anymore. I brought friends who have never been to Else's and this happened lol. Won't go back anymore.

This place is truly a hidden gem in Montreal, tucked away on one of the city’s cutest and most charming streets. We stumbled upon it on Halloween night, and it turned out to be one of the best spontaneous decisions we made that evening. The atmosphere was warm, cozy, and 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, and relaxed in the best way. We ordered a mix of dishes, including the chicken teriyaki, mac and cheese, salad, and mini burgers. The mac and cheese definitely stood out as the highlight: creamy, flavorful, and perfectly comforting for a chilly night. The mini burgers were also tasty, though they were quite small and better suited as individual portions rather than for sharing.
Overall, this spot strikes a perfect balance between cozy and 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 and solid food.
