Brunch Breakdown #1: The Orange Blossom Pistachio Braid.

Chef Gizzy’s pastry technique has a rather unexpected origin: years of braiding hair with her hairstylist sister. Her Turkish-inspired Pistachio Braid layers pistachio and chocolate with cardamom pastry cream, then gets apricot jam to cut through the richness with a little citrusy brightness. According to Gizzy, pastry is actually easier to braid than hair. At least pastry stays put.

See what all that practice led to this weekend at brunch along with other new bites from 11am-3pm. Reserve now: https://loom.ly/hwywzss

Tunisia, by way of Virginia-Highland.

Our whole Bronzino gets a generous brush of harissa relish before meeting the grill, served with ancient grains, shaved fennel and cucumber. Smoky, bright, spicy and built around the flavors of North Africa’s Mediterranean coast.

One fish. A rather convincing change of scenery. Taste this weekend and join us: https://loom.ly/n_g542g

A convincing reason to move girls’ night to Wednesday.

Three mezze for $12. Half-off select bottles of w**e. A table full of things everyone swore they’d share.

Mid-Week Mezze is on tonight in Va-Hi. 🍷

Greetings from Morocco. 🇲🇦

No one returns from traveling as the same person who left. At least, we’d hope not. The roads you walked, the people you met, the sights, sounds and spices all tend to follow you home. Our Moroccan Hot Chicken is one of those souvenirs: crispy chicken finished with charred lemon and pickled vegetables, with plenty of spice picked up along the way.

No passport required for this return trip. Come taste it for yourself.

Never adventure on an empty stomach.

We’ve added a few new reasons to start the weekend at Ela. Souvlaki & Eggs now comes with grilled skewers, Steak & Eggs gets green chermoula and tomato relish, and the sweeter side of the table has an Orange Blossom Pistachio Braid and Baklava Yogurt Bowl waiting.

Whatever you get up to afterward is your business. Make your brunch plans now: https://loom.ly/rtOk-zs

A change of scenery fits nicely in a glass.

Our Orange Creamsicle blends Grey Goose L'Orange and creamy coconut milk for a convincing excuse to let your mind wander to Algiers, even if you're still in Atlanta.

Take the scenic route home and order yourself a glass this week ☀️

There's an Odyssey making the rounds this summer.

Ours comes with hummus, labneh, whipped feta, and plenty of warm laffa for friends who suddenly stop talking because they're reaching for one more bite.

The journey's a little shorter, too. See you tonight.

This weekend's menu has been living in Chef Gizzy's notebook for a while. Now it's finally making its way to your table.

Three new specials. Plenty to talk about.

Order a few, pass the plates, and see which one everyone claims as their favorite. Just don't wait too long. They're only here through the weekend, available in limited quantities. Make your dinner plans tonight: https://loom.ly/XVIOFGc

Well...now you know.

Every Wednesday, it's any 3 mezze for $12 and half off select bottles of w**e.

Still can't decide on three? There's always the Odyssey Board. Fortunately, the journey won't take nearly as long. 🍷

Travel advice from us: find the neighborhood bar before anything else.

That's how we've always thought about Ela. A place to meet friends, discover a new favorite cocktail, and see where the night goes.

Being named Atlanta's Best Bar Overall by Jezebel makes us even more excited to welcome you in. Pull up a stool this weekend: https://loom.ly/TDXKWKs
