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.

    The food was absolutely amazing, especially the crab toast, which was perfectly executed and bursting with flavor. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff who really enhanced the dining experience. The restaurant itself is stunning, with thoughtful details that made the evening feel special. I loved the motivational speeches playing in the bathroom, a unique and inspiring touch to the ambiance.

    The food was excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed every bite. However, the final dish was a bit too salty for our taste. The service was outstanding! Our server went above and beyond by describing every dish in detail, making the dining experience both informative and enjoyable.

    It was incredible!! We ordered the Crab toast, Mushroom Risotto and Lamb Skewers. Each item was literally 10/10. The mushroom risotto was our favorite. The service was incredible from the moment we got in. Highly recommend going here!!

    Truly one of the best dining experiences In vancouver. The "let us cook for you" tasting menu for $98 is a fantastic value as we received at least 9 dishes for three of us and were fully satisfied. The lamb skewers, crab toast and popcorn dessert are unforgettable.

    This was my favourite dining experience in Vancouver. Everything from the food, to the ambiance and the service was excellent. The amount of care and attention to detail that was put into everything did not go unnoticed. I’ve already booked to go back in a few weeks to share the experience with more friends.

    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.
