Elisa is a steakhouse in Yaletown,[2] Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[3][4][5] Toptable Group opened the restaurant in 2018.

Elisa has garnered a positive reception, earning a reputation as one of Yaletown's best restaurants and the city's best steakhouses. It has received a Best of Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator, and Franco Michienzi was named Sommelier of the Year by Vancouver Magazine in 2023. Elisa also became a recommended restaurant in the Michelin Guide in 2023.

Description

Elisa is a farm-to-table[6] steakhouse with a "contemporary" ambiance[7] in Vancouver's Yaletown neighborhood, specializing in seafood and steak.[8] The 6,800-square-foot[9] restaurant uses a Grillworks Infierno wood-fired grill, and the interior has hostess and wine decanting stations, ceiling millwork, veneer wall panels, and a wine cellar.[10] The menu has included truffle-roasted chicken,[11] spring rolls with Dungeness crab, bison tartare, wagyu, beef Wellington, and coniglio brasato.[1] Among cocktails on the drink menu is the Charring the Cosmos.[8]

History

Toptable Group opened the restaurant in 2018,[12][13] in the space previously occupied by Milestones Grill and Bar.[9] Andrew Richardson is the executive chef.[14] Franco Michienzi has overseen the restaurant's wine program.[15] Bartender Katie Ingram was part of the opening team.[16][17] The interior was designed by New York's Rockwell Group,[18] and woodwork was done by Acorn Wood Designs.[10]

Like many restaurants, Elisa closed temporarily during the COVID-19 pandemic.[19] In 2021, the restaurant was closed temporarily by Vancouver Coastal Health because of a communicable disease.[20] Among celebrities who have dined at the restaurant are Skylar Astin, John Cena,[21] Wayne Gretzky,[22] and Keegan-Michael Key.[23]

The team behind Elisa opened the butcher shop Luigi & Sons in 2022. Luigi & Sons offers cuts of meat from Elisa's menu.[24]

Reception

In 2019, The Globe and Mail said the restaurant is "worthy of a splurge night",[25] as well as: "Elisa looks an awful lot like an alpha male strutting his stuff. It is not the most welcoming restaurant in the Toptable Group."[26] Vancouver Magazine gave Elisa honourable mention in the Best New Restaurant category of the 30th Annual Restaurant Awards.[27] The magazine's Neal McLenan included the Holstein striploin in a 2021 "COVID takeout honour roll", described as "a greatest hits of pandemic-era takeout".[28] Vancouver Magazine awarded Elisa silver status (second place) in the Best Steakhouses category in 2022, and said the restaurant has a "trendy, modern vibe and vast selection of steaks and tartares".[29] Franco Michienzi was named the magazine's Sommelier of the Year in 2023.[30][31] Elisa also received a Best of Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator.[32]

Noms Magazine has included Elisa in overviews of the best restaurants in Yaletown and Downtown Vancouver,[33][34] as well as lists of the city's best fine-dining establishments,[35] most romantic restaurants,[36] and best steakhouses.[37] The Daily Hive's Hanna McLean included Elisa in a 2020 overview of Vancouver's fourteen best outdoor dining restaurants.[38] Amir Ali included Elisa in a 2021 list of 21 restaurants in the city "that will make you feel like a celebrity",[8] and the website included the Tomahawk steak in a 2022 overview of twelve "lavish menu items in and around Vancouver worth splurging on".[39] The Daily Hive also included Elisa in a 2023 overview of Yaletown's best patios.[40] The business was added to the Michelin Guide as a "recommended" restaurant in 2023.[41][42]
