The food is delicious; the ambience is relaxing; and the service is warm. This is definitely one of the better cafes to open this year.
It’ll take more than one visit to fully savour what .elia has to offer, and we’re definitely making plans to return.
The place gives a cosy and comfortable feel which best suits for private occasions and dates.
Overall, lunch at the new .elia restaurant was a pleasant experience. The place was manned by a bunch of young, friendly people.
At the end of the day, I liked the food and vibes, but felt that .elia would need a stronger story and stand-out dishes to differentiate from the many new openings every month.
Most of the items on the menu are kept below $20 and for a dollar you’ll get a cup of coffee or tea when you order the lunch set.
The service was also pretty worth the mention here, with polite staff that are hospitable and take the time to explain the details about their menu.
