Plan your visit to downtown Raleigh
Use these guides to plan a visit to Element Gastropub at 421 Fayetteville Street, Suite 103, Raleigh, NC 27601. We are on City Plaza in downtown Raleigh, near the Raleigh Convention Center and Red Hat Amphitheater. Each guide focuses on a different reason to visit, from a weekday lunch to patio dining or a gathering with friends. These are guides to Element, not a directory of unrelated restaurants.
Start with the current menu when choosing food. Our kitchen is fully plant-based, with pub favorites, handhelds and seasonal dishes. For an early weekend visit, Saturday breakfast runs from 8am to 11am. Sunday brunch runs from 11am to 3pm. The weekday lunch offer is Monday through Friday, 11am to 2pm: a handheld or burger includes kettle chips and a fountain soda at the regular menu price. Follow the dedicated brunch and lunch pages for more details.
If drinks are part of your plans, explore the bar and patio guides. Element has 20 rotating North Carolina taps, cocktails and zero-proof choices. Ask the team what is pouring rather than relying on an older beer photograph or article. The bar guides describe the setting and drinks offering; they do not promise a recurring discount. For a group, use the private dining guide and inquiry form to discuss the date, guest count and occasion.
Our allergy-friendly and gluten-free guides can help you prepare questions before ordering. Plant-based food is not automatically suitable for every allergy, so tell your server about your needs. Use the contact page for hours, directions and the restaurant’s phone number. Metered street parking is on Fayetteville Street and nearby blocks, with city parking decks a short walk away. For pickup, follow the ordering link and checkout instructions. Friday and Saturday takeout orders stop at 9:15pm, with pickup by 10pm.
