About ELSE
More than a restaurant
An alluring retreat where sophistication seamlessly
intertwines with thrill. This boutique haven transcends the
ordinary, bathed in the captivating hues of amber and noir.
ELSE boasts awe-inspiring architecture and bespoke
furnishings that resonate with the sinuous grace of the
ouroboros. ELSE extends an invitation to seekers of the
extraordinary, beckoning them into a realm of unparalleled
charm.
The Design
An intimate embrace
Taking a bold initiative, we crafted a closed and cozy
ambiance, transcending the confines of its elevated perch.
The arching ceiling became a vessel for elevated height,
introducing a tunnel effect that redefined spatial dynamics.
The use of polished copper, perforated panels, and
enveloping red velvet curtains synergized to create an
enriched atmosphere, harmonizing height, luxury, and
acoustics.
The Concept
Dine & Dance
A concept reflecting a dining atmosphere that effortlessly
transforms into dance; a closing of curtains ritual at ELSE
perpetuates a shift in mood, ambience, and time, bringing
dinner to dance.
The Cuisine
A culinary delight
Tickling the palate with a meticulously curated menu
blending Contemporary, International, Japanese, and Fusion
cuisines, ELSE transforms into a culinary odyssey. A seating
capacity of 100, including a bar for 20, extends an invitation
to seekers of the extraordinary.
The Bar
Mixology elevated
A curated cocktail portfolio featuring master mixologists.
Bespoke cocktails flow freely, each sip a reminder that "ELSE"
is more than a restaurant; it's an elixir of excitement, a
celebration of the extraordinary.
Eternal Renewal
Not just a destination.
An artistic sanctuary where design and gastronomy dance in
harmony, ELSE extends a
gracious invitation to connoisseurs, urging them to indulge in an
immersive and unforgettable
experience. Every aspect echos the sinuous grace of the ouroboros – the
snake that devours its
own tail, a symbol of eternal renewal. Here, every detail tells a story,
