The Elysian Cafe is a casual French-American restaurant with a large bar area, quiet back dining room and a large outdoor dining area. Located in Hoboken, NJ it is the oldest owned and operated bar in Hoboken. Beautiful 100 year old plaster ceilings span the entire inside dining area, giving a warm feeling for the dining experience. The outdoor dining cafe brings you right to the streets of Paris and are adorned in white flowers and shaded areas. The Elysian Cafe is a great place to grab a quick bite, meet up with old friends for a chatty afternoon or have a quiet dinner date.

    Food was good. Unfortunately, the staff was rather inattentive (had to ask for refills, forgot spoons for our soup, tried to flag down the waitress for the check for a while). We made a reservation so assumed we would be in the dining room but were sat in the bar, so it was understandably a bit noisy. The children at the table sat behind us were pushing on our chairs and being incredibly disruptive but staff (and their parents) said nothing. Food unfortunately was not good enough to warrant coming back.

    Elysian is a few blocks away. Eugene, the original owner, spent an enormous amount of $ on restoring the old shipyard blue collar bar into the most beautiful dining space in Hoboken. If you go, look at the ceiling and walls, especially in the back room. The food was the usual high quality as was the service. The noise level was less than usual because it was a slow night between 6 and 730. But as we left, tables were filling up.

    Great location a super staff. Food quality was good but the Croque Madame was lacking. Only toast, not baguette and little béchamel and gruyere.

    The Elysian cafe is a great go-to restaurant with fair prices on everything from hamburgers, egg dishes, chicken sandwich and more. You typically get side option choices of fries or a salad which I really like.
