Who we are

César and Eliana's dream

We're a married couple who one day decided to bring our roots to Tarragona and open our own restaurant.

We believe good cooking takes time, respect for the ingredients and a lot of love.

Our story

What we learned at home, on your table

A few years ago we decided to chase a dream: bringing our roots to Tarragona, respecting the traditional recipes we grew up with and paying tribute to them with authentic, original flavours.

That's how Elian was born, a welcoming place where tradition and quality go hand in hand. From day one we have looked after every detail with your comfort in mind, to create a warm atmosphere where you feel at home.

How we work

What we do every day

Made by hand

We make our pasta, stocks, side dishes and plates by hand every day, taking care over the texture and flavour of each one.
Two cuisines at one table

Our cooking combines the richness of the Mediterranean with the culinary tradition of Argentina.
Something for everyone

Variety has mattered to us from the beginning. That's why we have vegetarian and vegan options, and adapted dishes that little ones love.
