About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

    One of the best dining experiences I've ever had in the city. Dennis provided above and beyond service. The menu was full of creative and thoughtful dishes I have never seen before, which was much appreciated. The lamb belly skewers were the best lamb dish I have ever tried and love that they're always changing up their menu, which definitely makes me want to return again, so I can try more of chef Vish's wonderful and innovative creations.

    This is my second time being there, food was delicious and creative as usual. Staff are so engaging and really well trained with very high EQs (lol I rarely comment on this about restaurant staff but it’s true). We had a such a great experience and will certainly be back again soon! Well done team

    The food was amazing but the overall lingering feeling is we had a time limit at the table. And if we wanted dessert we should order now to get it in time before our table was “up”. I know that restaurants are under pressure to flip the table but honestly that thought seemed to override the dinner

    From the minute we walked in, we were impressed. The staff were professional yet casual meaning that they made us feel at home. The space is spectacular. The music was subtle so you can hear each other and yet not hear neighbouring tables. The food was amazing as were the cocktails. Our waiter could not have been better. My friend said it was the best negroni he has ever had and he also loved the lamb. The cauliflower was to awesome. This is our new favourite restaurant.

    An amazing experience. From the initial tour of the restaurant to the diligent attention by the serving staff the whole experience was exceptional. The food was amazing, the flavours were complex yet sublet and powerful while being complementary. It left you excited for the next item to arrive. We did the 'cook for you' menu and we were thrilled when the owner/chef came to present us our final menu item and to check on our experience. You can spend a lot of money dining out at mediocre restaurants or you can spend your money at this quality establishment. We will definitely be back.
