The Elysian Cafe is a casual French-American restaurant with a large bar area, quiet back dining room and a large outdoor dining area. Located in Hoboken, NJ it is the oldest owned and operated bar in Hoboken. Beautiful 100 year old plaster ceilings span the entire inside dining area, giving a warm feeling for the dining experience. The outdoor dining cafe brings you right to the streets of Paris and are adorned in white flowers and shaded areas. The Elysian Cafe is a great place to grab a quick bite, meet up with old friends for a chatty afternoon or have a quiet dinner date.

    Came here for a first date and I was able to hear my date and the food, drinks, service, and ambiance were good. The steak sandwich and espresso martini were good and the prices were decent. They have a bogo entree night on Monday too! And the date went well!

    Our go to restaurant when visiting friends in Hoboken. Food is always good. Salads are large enough for 4 to share. Ordered the gnocchi with bolognese sauce which was absolutely delicious. Huge portion that I didn’t think I’d finish, but too good not to. Friendly atmosphere, good service, nice bar.

    Loved our dinner at Elysian Cafe. Food great, it was 2 for 1 entrees so a great deal! Packed so noisy, but food delish! Service was a little lacking but I think that was because they were so busy.
