Elaia Cafe & Restaurant

Elaia is a Greek-inspired cafe and restaurant that offers a unique hospitality and menu experience in Launceston. Our homemade desserts and signature dishes, sauces and stocks all made from scratch, will delight your taste buds. Our modern, spacious, and comfortable indoor and outdoor dining makes it the perfect venue for your special event or spot for a casual catch up. Whether it’s all day breakfast, long lunch, or a delicious Greek dinner, we’ve got something special for you.

Perry and I started Elaia in 1996 as a result of our deli customers wanting good quality coffee and food and somewhere nice to sit. We were the first licensed café to open in the ‘Paris’ end of Charles Street with on street dining and serving All Day Breakfasts.

Now 25 years later, Elaia has proudly evolved into a significant Cafe/Restaurant and has become Launceston’s favourite choice for breakfast, lunch, dinner and that something in between. 

We are honoured and humbled to be part of the charm that is Charles Street and to have observed its development into a significant eating precinct in Launceston Tasmania. 

We look forward to welcoming you soon.
