Elephant & Castle Prince Street opened in Lower Manhattan in ’73 across from St Vincent’s Hospital where George had worked as an oncologist since the 1950’s. After two decades of short lunch breaks where he could never get anything he wanted to eat, finally he retired to a life of eating everything he wanted to eat, in his own restaurant with a special name. His passion and obsession for quality was infectious and E&C became a New York classic within a few years. Doors opened in a very different and quiet Temple Bar in January 1989 and by Summer of that year the queues had already started for our fantastic food and spectacular atmosphere!
Outside the world has greatly changed, but inside our swinging doors we try to keep things just the way they were.

Food was delicious, we had the chicken wings to start and they were fab with a generous sized portion. Seafood chowder for main and this was again delicious. We went early afternoon so the restaurant was quiet too. Would highly recommend

Food and service were great, would recommend. Lovely home made brunch options. Can see why this place gets busy right in the middle of Temple Bar and glad we booked for an 11.30am Sun table for 4. We realised after we left that service wasn’t included and we hadn’t left a separate tip when splitting the bill, apologies!
