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.

    Tuna was so so, not horrible but we’ve had better multiple other places. The crab toast was ok, but sauce was room temp, and server said it’s meant to be served that way. It would have been better if sauce was warm, and needs extra bread to soak up sauce. The lamb was outstanding! Pasta with short rib and egg yolk was melt in your mouth but sauce was an odd consistency. While the service was very good, the food was not consistently good, so we walked away disappointed overall.

    The restaurant itself is very beautiful and neat how the different elements are incorporated. The food was STUNNING. Every single dish unique and bursting with flavour. This is the type of restaurant who will be looking for a star in the future. Well done.
