Elise
Perks
- Complimentary chef's choice dessert any time you dine at the restaurant
About
Opened a year ago this August in the Woodruff Arts Center, this exciting eatery from Craig Richards, the celebrated chef who trained in Italy and who gave the city the Michelin Guide-Recommended Lyla Lila, has been featured on Eater’s 2026 List of “Best New Restaurants Around Atlanta.” With a name derived from Beethoven’s classic Für Elise and a space designed by the celebrated architect Renzo Piano, Elise has a seafood-driven menu with starters like smoked oysters with chermoula and crème fraiche and chicken liver mousse with strawberry-hibiscus jam and fried pistachios and entrees like roasted halibut with green garlic crème and steelhead trout with black-eyed peas and ginger beurre. Are you a landlubber? Don’t worry. Beef bourguignon and duck breast are highlights of the menu as well. Leave room too for the state-of-the-art lemon tart and other delicious desserts. Atlanta Magazine salutes the “light, elegant dishes,” while the Atlanta Journal-Constitution hails Elise as “artful, stylish, and sophisticated without pretension.”
