Restaurant in Tarragona

Mediterranean and Argentine food, made by hand every day

We're César and Eliana. We brought the recipes we grew up with to Tarragona, to cook them the way they have always been made at home.

Our story

The recipes we grew up with

A few years ago we decided to chase a dream: bringing our roots to Tarragona. That's how Elian was born, a restaurant where we respect traditional recipes and pay tribute to them with authentic flavours.

We planned every corner of the place so that you'd feel comfortable. When you walk through the door, we want you to feel at home.
