About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions

Ellie’s at Night is a French bistro in downtown Providence, where candlelight, thoughtful food, and warm hospitality set the tone for an evening meant to be enjoyed at your own pace.

Our dinner menu is inspired by French cuisine and the beauty of each season. We collaborate with local farms & producers to celebrate ingredients at their height, allowing our dishes to transform throughout the year. Guests can choose from our à la carte options or enjoy our prix fixe offering, paired with a thoughtfully curated selection of wines and cocktails.

Whether you’re planning a date night, celebrating something special or simply looking for a beautiful place to spend an evening in Providence, Ellie’s offers an intimate setting where dinner feels like an occasion without needing a reason.

By day, Ellie’s is a Parisian-inspired eatery serving breakfast, lunch, and house-made pâtisserie. By night, the lights dim and Ellie’s becomes a French bistro, welcoming dinner guests Friday through Sunday.

Food was good, super value, really interesting and inventive cocktails and the decor is pretty. I would make the lighting less bright for dinner because it has a significant impact on the ambiance but I’m glad this place is here and am excited to go back!

Thank you for joining us for Ellie’s at Night! We’re so glad you enjoyed your evening with your Mom. We love seeing our Parisian eatery take on a different feeling in the evening as a French bistro, and we’re delighted you enjoyed it too. We hope you’ll join us for dinner again soon!

It was the worst meal I ever had. They didn’t have any of the seafood available on the menu, so I ordered the pork chop. It was full of fat and underdone. I couldn’t cut it away. My friend had the $49 steak frites. It was full of gristle. Our waiter was great and the wine was good. Otherwise, very disappointing. They are great for breakfast and lunch but don’t go there for dinner.

Our evening started off well. However something went wrong in the kitchen and 45 minutes later we were told they were out off the burger. Stephanie, the general manager, came to the rescue. She was gracious apologetic and professional. We order another small plate and they brought out the pappardelle that we did not order but had considered. The pappardelle was outstanding, as was our other dishes. They also took off the other small plate from our bill. The food and the appreciation of customer service is worth giving Ellie’s a second chance.

We have eaten at Ellie's several times as a coffee shop during the day, but this was our first time for dinner. Wow! The food beat my expectations! They offer prefix which is a great value and you get good size portions too! The pasta and the pork chop were superb! I highly recommend and we will definitely be back! Also, server as very nice and attentive.
