We did the offered course list plus wine pairing. The food was very hit or miss, a few dishes were flavorful and delicious, a few were just okay, and a few were inedible. The shrimp in particular has a weird texture, not appetizing at all with a little blob of what tasted like mayonnaise on top, still makes my stomach turn. The service was also not great, we were left waiting upon arrival. Sat at the table for about 10 minutes before someone came up to introduce themselves. The servers kept forgetting to tell us what each meal contained and then we would wait 10 min for them to come so that we could ask. Never experienced this at any other michelin star restaurant. The wine pairings didn't really compliment the food. I can honestly say that I will never return and I would not recommend this place to anyone. The price point was good for a Michelin star restaurant but this restaurant was not Michelin star quality. Shocked they have one. Ambience was nice.

A Memorable Experience After years of waiting, we finally secured a table at this stunning venue. The ambiance was beautiful, and the service was excellent. While the food was presented impressively and featured interesting flavors, it didn't quite meet our expectations. Perhaps the multi-course format compromised temperature and doneness. We appreciated the experience, but it didn't leave us eager to return. Maybe that's why tables are becoming more available...

Heard many things about this place so thought I’d give it a try with my partner. Very upscale and well organized and decorated place. They had a patio like area with a retractable ceiling which brought in a lot of natural light and also fresh air which made it really enjoyable sitting near the back of the restaurant and being able to enjoy the expansive view of the restaurant and also the kitchen and all the people working hard to prepare the very exquisite meals. The experience was great but also personally there was a lot I just didn’t enjoy. But not because the food wasn’t good but just not meant for my palette. Highly recommend for those looking to take someone out and do something nice for them. Drinks menu is definitely pricey so be aware but the selection is fine and the wine we got was really good.

There’s definitely some magic in this place. But honestly, meeting Maria was the real highlight — hands down one of the best people I’ve met in Medellín. The 2-star Michelin experience was already top-notch, but she took it to a whole new level. Incredible food, amazing service, and an unforgettable personal touch

Where to start? I don’t think I have the words to describe how unique, creative, unexpected, and ultimately unforgettable of an experience this was. As soon as you walk through their golden gates into an airy and modern interior, prepare for 2-3 hours of a multi-sensory journey through Colombian flavors. The flow and pace of service is impeccable—we waited just the right amount of time for each dish. Many dishes included impressive table service and whimsical elements. All of them were exceptional and a delight to eat. I am especially impressed because I asked for a vegetarian adaptation and it is the first time I don’t feel like I missed out on anything during an omnivorous tasting menu experience by not eating meat. The vegetarian adaptations seemed even more creative and exciting than the meat versions. And they were certainly just as filling and flavorful. Hats off to the incredible kitchen team! Be sure to come hungry and ready for unexpected surprises as well as one of the best meals of your life. If you’re on the fence about booking, don’t think twice. It is well worth it. Especially considering how much you would pay for ElCielo in the U.S.

I was really excited to try El Cielo, especially with all the hype around it being one of the best restaurants in Colombia. As someone who enjoys the fine dining scene, I had high hopes for a unique take on Colombian cuisine—but unfortunately, it missed the mark for me. While the presentation was impressive, the flavors and menu structure didn’t live up to the visuals. Some dishes felt more like gimmicks than well-thought-out creations (chocolate on your hands? Ice cream salad?). I tried to follow the journey the menu was going for, but it just didn’t come together. If you're used to more traditional upscale dining with refined flavors and clear

Great experience! Great service! Great food! Is it weird to have a dish where you lick chocolate off your fingers, yes..... But it's an experience. All of the courses were well plated and unique. This restaurant is as good as any 1 star Michelin restaurant I've been to.

We visited Elcielo Medellín for an early dinner during my brother’s bachelor party trip, and it was truly one of the most memorable highlights of our entire experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and an atmosphere that perfectly balanced sophistication and comfort—ideal for a special occasion. The tasting menu was nothing short of spectacular. Each course was thoughtfully curated, beautifully presented, and rich in flavor. The artistic presentation and interactive elements added an immersive touch that made the evening feel like more than just a meal—it was an experience. Elcielo’s unique take on Colombian flavors elevated traditional dishes into something truly unforgettable. The staff was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, explaining each course with passion and precision. They even made thoughtful accommodations for our group and celebrated the occasion in a way that felt personal and genuine. Whether you’re visiting Medellín for a special event or simply want to experience one of the best fine dining establishments in the city, Elcielo is a must. Highly recommended for those looking to indulge in creativity, culture, and culinary excellence all in one place.
