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.

    Amazing experience! The lamb skewers were one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. The service was great - very personal and attentive without being pretentious.

    My mom and I really enjoyed our overall experience at Elem. The restaurant was open and the food was good. We felt that the food was good but not outstanding, which we thought would be based on the price. However, the service was excellent and exceptional as we don't get that at many restaurants nowadays. There was attention to detail, with kind and thoughtful staff!

    Beginning to end this was the ultimate dining experience. THE FOOD. Just …I was rendered speechless. Delights for your bites. Everything is so well thought out, the playful creativity and connections that bridge the kitchen to the bar, not wasting a thing. The ambiance is stunning, we were in the concrete area where everything is clean lines, simple, modern and elegant at the same time. The playing with elements is everywhere, such attention to detail in every aspect of our meal. I am so excited to come back. Thank you chef and all the team at ELEM, it was an incredible evening that I will never forget.

    Always fantastic food and a pleasant experience. The cocktails are next level. I love that they are changing the menu almost weekly. Will continue to go back every month.

    Terrible experience. We booked the Valentine’s meal, and from the moment we walked in, we got strange vibes. The host didn’t offer to take our jacket, even though he offered to for the people that came before us. We were seated in a remote corner, dark, corner of the restaurant. Drinks were terrible. Lamb shanks were filled with fat. The dessert was brought out when my partner was in the bathroom, so it was partially melted by the time she got back. Would never go back or recommend to anyone.
