2022:Elda moved to a new location on the second floor of an old mill on Main street in Biddeford. It is spacious and the tables are well spaced out for the pandemic time dining. The food was innovative and interesting, but I was not as blown away by it as the first time we ate at Elda in 2019. 17 course tasting menu was $540 for two people with a juice pairing. Juice pairing was a mistake, I did not like the flavors.
2019:Outstanding! Elda has two dining options: a four course dinner or selections from the bar menu. In the four course option we had a choice of pork or fish, and desert chocolate or not chocolate. The first course consisted of three cold appetizers and three warm appertizers. This was not a choice, you got them all. Each one was absolutely delicious: scallop, oyster, nori, jonah crab in an egg, uni. Next was cod stew, I did not know it was possible to make this humble fish taste so good. The main entre was pork and carrots. Again, outstanding. Desert was my least favorite part of the meal, I did not care for the salted strawberries. Excellent meal, we will be back.
Parking is a little tricky, as we were leaving I noticed a sign for public parking sign pointing to the street on the opposite side.
