Mediterranean cuisine is known for its fresh and flavorful ingredients, and Elia on W Division Street in Chicago certainly lives up to that reputation. This stunning new modern Mediterranean restaurant and upscale bar offers a wide range of vegetarian and gluten-free options that are absolutely delicious. Chef Ezgi Bozdas' favorite dish, the Celery Root marinated in olive oil with fresh orange and cherry glaze topped with arugula and asiago cheese, is just one example of the creative and mouth-watering dishes available at Elia.
But it's not just the food that makes Elia stand out - their "Before I Run" cocktail made with Beefeater gin, crรจme de menthe, eucalyptus bitters, aloe vera, honey syrup, and fresh lemon is a must-try. And with a 60-seat patio, you can enjoy your meal or drink al fresco.
Elia has been featured in several publications including The Infatuation's "Chicago's New Restaurant Openings" feature for May and Urban Matter's "The Best Restaurants In Chicago To Try This Summer" article. It's no wonder why - Elia offers an exceptional dining experience that should not be missed. So come join them for mezze & cocktails before or after your day out in Chicago!
