Located at The Hotel Chalet in the historic Choo Choo complex is Southside Chattanooga’s premier French-Appalachian-inspired bistro and cocktail bar, Elsie’s Daughter.
At the intersection of nostalgic French-European bistro culture, elevated cocktails, and the Scenic City’s railroad history, this quaint, vibrant restaurant is a tucked-away gem, offering incredible service, drinks, food, and a cozy, inviting, alluring aesthetic.
Elsie’s Daughter has built a reputation for pairing Southern ingredients with French-Belgian influences, offering seasonally inspired dishes, cocktails, and mocktails with an eclectic approach and a focused, intentional, high-quality menu.

Their staple dessert is their olive oil cake, served with blackberry lemon compote and pistachio crumble, though they also serve a succulent devil’s food cake and chocolate pot de creme to boot…
