Elia, the authentic Greek restaurant in Paris's 11th arrondissement

Elia is the name of a small Greek restaurant in the 11th arrondissement, a stone's throw from the Place de la République, that's well worth a visit. It's a real little corner of Athens, serving authentic and delicious homemade pitas and mezzes.

Newly established in Paris's 11th arrondissement, Elia brings authentic Greek flavors to the Place de la République. Behind this beautiful cuisine is Hayk, a passionate native of Athens who decided to bring a piece of his native Greece to our capital by joining his beloved in Paris. At Elia's, you'll discover tasty, lovingly-crafted dishes, entirely homemade, available to eat in or take away.

Enjoy souvlaki and mezzes, which take your taste buds on a journey to Athens. Savor homemade French pork and poultry brochettes, marinated for 24 hours and served fresh daily. Don't miss the famous chicken gyros, made and skewered daily. Take advantage of the mezze and salad formulas for nibbling with friends.

At Elia's, each pita is generously topped with salad, tomatoes, onions, home fries, and can be accompanied by a tzatziki or cocktail sauce. For those looking for a more complete experience, packages are available including soft drinks and accompaniments, as well as a mezze trio (€18.50) or a mezze skewer (€18.50).

For our part, we enjoyed the vegetarian halloumi pita with delicious homemade bread, a fresh and generous Greek salad, as well as a choice of brochettes and mezze with zucchini and feta dumplings and feta filo with honey.

At Elia's, we discover that you don't have to be a vegetarian to succumb to halloumi brochettes seared on the grill. We love the home fries, which come with a tzatziki, too. This is the secret of the best street-food places in Greece.

And what would a Greek meal be without good desserts? At Elia's, they change regularly to the delight of gourmets. During our visit, we enjoyed the deliciousness of Greek yoghurt with honey and walnuts, the sweetness of a kadaïf and the richness of a baklava.

In conclusion, if you're looking for authentic Greek flavors in Paris' 11th arrondissement, Elia ticks all the boxes. You'll find all the charm of Greek gastronomy, served in a warm and friendly atmosphere. In fine weather, the summer terrace awaits you for a sunny break.
