You’ll find classic French cooking and the ambience of a bustling Parisian bistro at Elena’s Etoile. This Charlotte Street restaurant has long been a favourite of film and television people – as the vast array of signed photographs along the walls testifies. Movie deals have been brokered and careers launched during this restaurant’s 100 year history. With its rich red velvet banquette seating and starched white table clothes this great institution has a self confident, classic feel. The menu full of traditional French favourites with Italian dishes, some of which have been given a lighter, modern twist.

Elena's L'Etoile was the ideal location for an elegant hen night. Service was charming and attentive without being over the top, our private room perfect -especially when we got the heat on! The main course of roast duck was beautifully cooked, and the wine list fantastic. I will be back.
