We loved our first experience at ELEM for my birthday. Everything was spectacular, from the service, to food and drinks. I would highly recommend ELEM to all those who are interested in trying unique dishes with fusion flavours and carefully crafted cocktails down to the scientific level. I must highlight the service and the attention each server, bartender, and busser paid to us throughout the night. It truly made it unforgettable and we cannot wait to come back.

Very nice restaurant. The hummus is a must try as well as the mussels. There were two of us and three sharing plates would have been plenty but we had more and were full by the entree. The service was good and the atmosphere was lively. Would recommend and will be back.
