About the restaurant
Crafted out of sheer Westside flair and a nineteen year trajectory, Thyme Restaurant is a concept reimagined by a couple of couples with an affinity for food, wine and our beautiful Upper Westside neighborhood. It took laughter, conversation and lots of emotion, over many dinners to evolve this coveted space to what you see now. As you dine with us, surround yourself with our fine casual atmosphere amongst friends, family, food, wine, music, art and culture and let your conversations evolve. Thank you for helping us preserve this gem in our beloved neighborhood.

The wine selection was fantastic and the service was outstanding. We were not only very well taken care of but were routinely checked on to see how we were doing, tipping off wine and water, without being disturbed. The bottle we requested was unavailable but we were provided a list of suggestions and given a brief description of each in an informative way without being talked down to. The environment was cozy and felt just open enough to not feel cooped up and intimate enough to enjoy a soft conversation without too much noise. Overall a wonderful experience 11/10

We are pleased to offer a sleek environment of open yet warm casual elegance, making our guests feel comfortable and at ease from the moment they walk in. We feature a large, beautifully traditional bar. Our interior combines unique historic design elements, restored in our 100-plus year old building, along with contemporary accents, reminiscent of a French salon.

As they have done on every single visit that I have made they put us at the last booth by the kitchen. I am convinced it’s because we are a twi older females. I doubt they would put a couple there. The mussels were good but the chorizo in them was way too salty and a couple of them were not opened up. I was server was very good. I regret that I do not remember his name

About the restaurant
At Ella, we’ve reimagined the cocktail bar scene, curating an environment that seamlessly merges sophistication and the resilient strength of femininity. Our brand concept is a tribute to the modern woman, inviting her to embrace her edgy and mischievous side within a backdrop of classic elegance.
We believe in celebrating the duality of being strong and sensual, and our A cocktail bar is a place where powerful women can revel in their individuality. Ella invites you to raise a glass to sophistication, strength, and a touch of naughtiness, where classic meets contemporary, and where every sip is a reminder that life’s pleasures are meant to be savored with elegance and a hint of rebellion.

Great experience! Whether it’s the bar area or at a table, service and vibe never changed. Bartender and waitress (same person) was great and gave great drink recommendations. Definitely plan on returning.

About the restaurant
Translation of amar in English:
amar (ah-mahr)
Verb
1. To love
We think the word AMAR is the most beautiful word in the Spanish dictionary, whose root "amma" (AMOR) is born from the first sound syllable that a child expresses to a mother. It is a reminder of the purest feeling of humanity.
AMAR refers back to the creator’s creative energy, the most subtle vibration that has formed everything, AMOR.
Perú &
México
Our Menu Is Completely Based
on pure love for comida
The idea of creating a Peruvian + Mexican kitchen happened because the cultures merged in our family sparked a combination of flavors, techniques and dishes in our gatherings.
After 10 years admiring and learning from Peruvian cuisine we decided to follow this dream and share with our community what we cook in casita.

About the restaurant
Born in a family with a passion for Gastronomy and Oenology, we opened our first French Wine Bistro, Cepage[s], in Notting Hill, London in 2014. Driven by the success of Cepage[s], my father Felix Cohen, who lives in Grenoble (French Alpes), came with the idea to open an authentic french cuisine restaurant in El Paso. Our concept is to create a cozy atmosphere, featuring delicious bistro style sharable appetizers and classic popular dishes from diverse regions in France paired with a great selection of wines and cocktails. Our name, Entrecôte, is a very popular Ribeye Steak dish served in bistros and specialty restaurant in France. We are very exited to start this new adventure and offer a unique experience to El Pasoans and visitors from out of town.
