Else’s looks like your classic Plateau pub—cozy, cluttered with knick-knacks, and the kind of place that feels lived-in. Step inside, and you’ll find a menu of comforting bar food that’s anything but basic at this local institution. Pulled pork, butter chicken, mac ’n’ cheese, shrimp tacos, and vegetarian-friendly options are satisfying and delicious, often paired with a pint from the draft selection. The kitchen keeps things inventive yet approachable, turning simple ingredients into elevated comfort food without breaking the bank. Whether you’re settling in for lunch, dinner, or a late-night pint, Else’s quietly does double duty as a beloved neighbourhood bar and comfort-food spot.
