Nice place, the food is good. I had high expectations going there for my birthday just after a trip to Italy, but I felt nostalgic & the reviews was good. It was a little less than I expected, not a bad place overall, but Montreal as better to offer, places with this little''touch'' this place is missing. The service was A1

Nice cozy place, nice service. Pizza was nice as well, I think someone oversold the place to me before going but still was a nice evening overall. Ah btw my wife had the Ragyu pasta & she said it was great. :)

Elan is a wonderful restaurant that has come highly recommended for some time now, & I'm happy that it lives up to the hype. Great food with excellent service in a warm & comfy atmosphere. They easily make the best cannoli in Montreal, their pizza is great, & they have a good & diverse wine list. Their full bodied red called "Pacina" was absolutely spectacular! The Panzanella salad was also delicious, but unfortunately its croutons had an odd gummy texture. Nevertheless, we had a great time throughout our meal, but when we ordered dessert our cappuccino never arrived & so we had to cancel it. Needless to say, it's not fun to eat your dessert without coffee. Otherwise, Elena well worth the visit.

It's expensive but very good. At 2/3 the price it would be a classic. That means top-tier food, great service, & all the accoutrements. There's expansive terrace outside, which was a gossent for us. Cocktails & mocktails were best so far in la ville aux milles clochers. The Elenagroni scratched my hitch for fernet (or did it only make it worse?) The issue is: $20 + 15% tax + 20% tip that's getting awfully close to $30 for a drink. Are we doing $30 drinks now? I don't know, maybe? But it's 5 star material: the menu appears to be uniformly quality dishes, the décor is nice & fresh in the restaurant. Oh, & very well managed place. Service is super efficient. Tables are reset minutes (second) after you leave. There was a jar of chalks on the terrace, I didn't catch who took care of it but it got picked up & store at its place on a shelf. Really, the place gives the vibe that the team is very tight & well directed. Many people with a dream open a restaurant, here it's obvious the managers are not dreamers but doers. This is the proverbial way of running a railroad.

Everything was good, but i found there was a bit too much of vinegar in the salads.
