ELEM is a new restaurant and cocktail lab on Main + 5th.

Guests can expect to indulge in Top Chef Canada alum Mayekar’s bold cooking, featuring creative flavour-packed dishes that highlight the unique spices from cuisines around the world with local ingredients, alongside Winnie Sun’s inventive, element-inspired and sustainability-driven cocktails.

ELEM’s food menu is an exploration of flavours and spices from all corners of the world, including Bangkok, California, Spain, Mexico, Italy, and Mumbai – all inspired by Mayekar’s extensive travels and Indian heritage. There will also be a big focus on local BC-grown ingredients.

The 2,946 square foot, 76-seat space was designed by Vancouver-based Marko Simcich Architect and features three dining spaces and an open window into the kitchen to see the chefs at work.

    Interesting ambiance, thought provoking menu, inventive cocktails and delicious food. Had a great experience at Elem. Standouts were the Tuna Tartar and Lamb skewers. Hospitality was top notch as well. Happy to see a new and interesting concept join the restaurant scene in Vancouver.

    Lovely share plate restaurant with a nice variety of dishes of good sized portions. The service was absolutely top notch, and was actually the stand out aspect of the night. Cocktails were good and unique - the smoke aspect of the negroni was the best done of any smoke infused cocktail I've ever had. Nice work, would love to come back to try some more of the menu.

    So good, I went twice in a week! If you are looking to eat, go anywhere, but if you are looking for a true food experience, ELEM is it. Upon entering the restuarant, the vibes, the sounds, the different rooms, the food, the drinks..represent the concept, all the elements! Yes, it may be pricey, but if you want creative cocktails, well thought out food, and hospitality and service that understand and combine all the elements for a food experience that you can't find else where, ELEM is it!

    Went out for official opening night. The space is so well thought through, intimate, and so beautiful. Staff is very attentive and knowledgeable. The food is inspirational, flavourful and I can appreciatethe attention to every detail including gorgeous plate ware. Great beverage program with unique cocktails with many zero proof options, wine list is focused but offers fantastic selection of new and old world gems. Highly recommend and can't wait to be back!

    ELEM brings a full thought-out, elevated dining experience to Vancouver, with 3 dining distinct dining atmospheres, ingenious cocktails, and a dinner menu that is brilliantly executed. The service is incredible - attentive and friendly, but unobstrusive. ELEM is an experience. Personally, I was happy to see a well-dressed crowd. The guests understood the assignment!
