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.

waiter service was very good, pleasant, fun & efficient. Food was great, empty plates always a good sign. Good value for money. The only negative fir me was music too loud , making it difficult to hear conversation. Will definitely eat here again, a most enjoyable experience .

Best chicken wings I’ve ever had, loads of them, beautifully marinated with crispy skins. Paired with fries and a bottle of Sauvignon blanc, can’t beat it. Been here a number of times and quality doesn’t change.
