Restaurant Elea

Absolutely incredible experience at Restaurant Elea! From start to finish, everything was perfect. We loved the crisp filo filled with creamy feta, finished with golden honey pearls, the artichokes, Greek-inspired mackerel paired with jalapeño ice cream, buttery mussels with tender leek and crisp kohlrabi, and the aged duck. We’re still dreaming of the crispy fresh bread with homemade butter! The modern Greek cuisine is both innovative and beautifully executed, all served in a stunning minimalist interior with an open kitchen. Huge thanks to Bibi and Vivian for their amazing. Highly recommend!

Wow, what an experience! Sure, it’s right in the heart of the city, so parking can be a bit of a puzzle. But the moment you step inside, you’re transported into a peaceful oasis. The space is airy, modern, and spotless — exactly what you’d expect from a top-tier dining place. And then there’s the food… absolutely stunning! Each dish looked like it came straight from a Michelin-starred kitchen, infused with bold Greek flavors and creative twists. Familiar tastes, reimagined in ways that surprise and delight. Every course was a new discovery — a true feast for the senses. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates refined cuisine with a Mediterranean soul.

Absolutely amazing experience with the most divine fine dining cuisine I have had in a long time. Love the open kitchen so you get a glimpse of the chef working and each dish was beautiful to look at and the flavors were well balanced and incredible. We did the 3 course lunch menu and the lobster with white asparagus was out of this world divine! Really love the Greek elements brought in a modern touch that brings out of the flavors. Highly recommended for that special occasion 🥰

Had a wonderful evening at Elea! Upon entering, you find yourself in a spaciously designed restaurant with plenty of room between tables, which we really appreciated. The interior is clean and tasteful, though for my personal taste just a touch too sterile, a hint of personality could add even more warmth and ambiance to the experience. The service was excellent. I felt like they had a close eye on everything. One of the staff members noticed I had given my girlfriend a gift during dinner, and later in the evening they surprised us with a small birthday dessert, such a thoughtful and attentive touch. The enthusiastic staff helped us feel very welcome. They were also careful to consider allergies and dietary preferences, which was great! And now, the highlight: the food! We had a 7-course menu that truly impressed us. We started with three amuse-bouches and delicious bread served with a special dip and butter. This was followed by Greek inspired dishes, with the yellowtail and scallops standing out as highlights, followed by a perfectly cooked duck with a rich, flavorful jus. Every wine paired with the dishes was spot on. The dessert was a personal favorite, every flavor harmonized beautifully, which was surprising given that it included an ingredient like carrot. I’d honestly come back just for that! Would definitely return and have already recommended it to a friend. A solid 10 out of 10!

Greek fine dining at its best. The combination of flavors was exceptional, and the Greek wine selection perfectly complemented the dishes. The warm atmosphere, paired with a well-organized and friendly service team, along with a smooth-running kitchen, made for a truly peaceful dining experience. I highly recommend Ellea to anyone looking to enjoy Greek cuisine with a modern twist! P.S. My girlfriend had the vegetarian menu, and it was also incredibly flavorful and satisfying.

An incredible experience! Dining there was a gift from my girlfriend for my birthday, and as a Greek who has dined in many Greek restaurants in the Netherlands and Greece, I must admit that this was one of the best I had! The interior was balanced and minimalistic. Elea is focused on giving a food experience in a place that can be comfortable and appealing for everyone that loves Greek cuisine in a more contemporary and fine dining frame, without exaggerating. The food was just amazing, we had the 5-course menu—a great combination of modern cooking art and tradition. My favourite was Arakas, with pea, carrot, potato and feta. Everything in the dish was balanced and took me back to my city. Service was friendly and they knew how to act and treat people so they will feel comfortable and like home. They explained every dish in detail and ensured everything would be nice and cosy. They dealt with a small issue professionally and with affection. I suggest this experience to everyone. Great job from the owner and people working there, for conveying a great cooking tradition to cooking art. Thank you very much!

Truly an unforgettable dining & food experience! The food was all incredible - artfully composed and presented. Flavors were well balanced within a directed character / profile (the chef did a great job of delivering what he wanted to deliver) Food at this level is more than what’s on the plate, so take time to chat with the staff - they’re all amazing people and excited to provide the story behind the food.

Overall experience was excellent and very pleasant. The staff is extremely well trained, they have eye for the smallest details such as folding your napkin whilst being away to the bathroom. The lady of the house gave her utmost best to advise us in our wine choice. The food was very surprising. The dishes are very well displayed and taste wise, the traditional Greek ingredients are prepared in contemporary ways and full of flavor. I would highly recommend for you to visit Elea. A tip! Ask advice in terms of wine, Greece isn’t famous for making good wine so you’ll definitely be surprised on that end. I’m never a fan of wine arrangements and prefer a good bottle over several different glasses. Enjoy your visit!
