For drinks during MIFF, drop by Elio’s to try ‘Late Rent’. A mix of Darling Distillery Gin, blackberries, melon and lemon, this riff on a gin sour pays tribute to Mile End Kicks – the tale of a self-sabotaging rising rock critic that we’ll be seeing at MIFF!

Our MIFF Express menu is available during the festival for lunch and dinner – select a ‘MIFF Express’ timeslot when you book at the link in our bio.

Bookings available online. Walk-ins always welcome.

Two new drinks have joined our ranks: the Breakfast Martini and the Bossa Nova.

Our Breakfast Martini is made with Darling Distillery Gin, Marionette Orange Curaçao, marmalade and lemon. With spirits from two local distillers and a bright citrus zing, it’s the perfect pick-me-up, whatever the hour.

The Bossa Nova - stirred down with Never Never Ginache Gin, Stache House Coffee Liqueur and Becherovka. Ideal to sip alongside a plate of our tiramisu.

Both can be sipped from morning until late - see you at the bar.

BENEDICT.

The backbone of any breakfast spot worth its weight in poached eggs.

A big breakfast in the best possible way. Golden, rich, crisp where it counts, and exactly what you want when toast alone is not going to do the job.

Served from 8am to 12pm at Elio’s Place.

A city bistro should do a few things, really really well.

It should open early. It should stay up late. It should be good for breakfast, drinks, dinner, snacks, functions, private dining, and the quiet pleasure of sitting at the bar with nowhere better to be.

That’s the idea at Elio’s Place. Find us on Flinders Lane, 7 days.
