About this restaurant

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.

    This was my first experience at Elem and my friend and I were very happy with all aspects of the dining experience. The food was scrumptious and provided a wide variety of flavors and tastes. I only gave a 4 for the food because one dish, the octopus, although delicious, it was not tender. We have eaten many octopus dishes in the past and this one was chewy. Otherwise everything divine. Wonderful wine list with varietals we hadn’t tried before. The Sommelier was very helpful in choosing something we would enjoy. We will definitely go back and recommend to friends.

    The burrata cheese was the best I have ever had. Unbelievable. The lamb is always a winner. The special pork shoulder pasta was also a hit. The cocktails were delicious, in great glassware, and the ice cubes are made for them! Great service from the second we walked in. One of the servers recognized us from a visit 2 months ago. They change their menu often which is great.

    The staff at ELEM were incredibly friendly and they were consistent with ensuring that we were having a good experience. The service was absolutely top notch. It was my first time experiencing having the table wiped down in between courses and the attention to detail is next level. The dinnerware was stunning and matches the aesthetic and atmosphere of the restaurant. The restaurants concept and design is so unique and beautiful. Not only did the menu contain different elements, but so did the interior design of the restaurant. Every square foot of this restaurant was just perfectly executed. The food was phenomenal and the rotational menu concept was explained so well by Hassib. Hassib made the experience fun and all the staff were so nice and went as far as to take a bunch of photos me and my friends. The washroom even played a motivational speech and was very different from other restrooms. I had an amazing time at ELEM and will be telling all my friends and family about it. I be coming back without a doubt.

    ELEM could rival any high end restaurant in London- everything was superb ! We were there on a night that an entire office was celebrating in a room separately and unfortunately it made it very loud but not the fault of the restaurant. The service and quality and timing were all spot on! Heading back for our anniversary dinner in June!
