Elephant & Co Athlone is a restaurant in Pietermaritzburg serving Afro-Asian cuisine. The dining room has high ceilings and glass walls, with tables spaced for groups and celebrations. The menu blends African and Asian dishes, and there is a separate cocktail list.

The building is set back from Athlone Circle, with parking at the front. The glass walls face west, catching the afternoon light. Inside, the high ceilings and open layout make the room feel larger than it is.

Staff can explain the dishes without checking with the kitchen, a detail noted by guests. The restaurant takes bookings for parties and functions, with space for groups of eight or more. The cocktail list is separate from the food menu.

The restaurant is named for the elephant, an animal that appears in the decor. The glass walls and high ceilings are the defining features of the space.
