Downtown Tucson Restaurants

If 2009 was a test of economic survival for you, it was exceptionally so for Tucson area restaurants. On behalf of those of us who made it, THANK YOU. It was your ongoing patronage that made it possible.
2010 will, no doubt, be interesting. During this year elle will continue to reassure, reward and acknowledge our customers through offers and special events. Our staff is as dedicated to satisfying our guests' food and beverage knowledge and dining emotions as it is their appetites!
Our local neighborhood restaurant and bar is here for you . . . a comfortable, safe harbor for a drop-in snack or beverage, quick business lunch or leisurely dinner. elle, Wine Country Restaurant will continue to serve authentic, 'real' food in an intimate atmosphere. We will present new menus, reflecting our culinary strengths as well as 2010 food trends and presentations. But don't fret; many long-time favorite menu items will remain available.
So stick with us. Together, we'll make this journey through 2010. And what a journey it will be.

elle is Tucson's first and only Wine Country Restaurant. Here you'll delight in fresh, familiar fare with a twist! And elle's inspired cuisine is accompanied by a progressive and thoughtfully-composed wine list.
Lunch and dinner menus at elle change seasonally. Each menu change reflects the finest ingredients and recipes from around the world and across multiple and varied wine-producing regions. Organically-produced, locally-grown items are featured year 'round. From popular to obscure.
elle boasts more than 125 wine selections; many are available by the splash or glass. From the vintages residing in elle's extensive wine cellar, diners are sure to discover the unique complement to any of the exceptional and eclectic cuisine. The wine list is simply one of the best in Southern Arizona.
Of all Tucson restaurants, elle's casual neighborhood setting is both charming and historic. Interiors appropriately feature rich burgundy and chardonnay hues. Two lushly landscaped patios provide separate spaces for drinks and dining.
elle is centrally located in the distinctive Joesler-built Broadway Village just a few quick minutes from downtown. The restaurant's convenient location is among the best reasons to stop by, second only to savoring elle's many scrumptious flavors. It’s near The University of Arizona, Tucson Botanical Gardens, Reid Park Zoo, Tucson Museum of Art and many other mid-town Tucson points of interest.
Let your palate be your guide. For a romantic dinner, an upscale evening of luscious wines and favorite taste treats.
Reservations may be made either online or by calling 327-0500.
