Colombian-fusion tasting menu with chocotherapy & Tree of Life
"Latin American dishes with a molecular gastronomy twist make this intimate Michelin-starred restaurant on Brickell a popular spot to take visitors. That and washing one’s hands with warm chocolate (called “Chocotherapy”), an experience most people have dreamed of doing since the age of nine. The menu rotates regularly but begin with the show-stopping Tree Of Life, an edible bonsai-looking work of art made from yucca flour." - Alona Martinez
"El Cielo offers an artistically designed, Colombian-fusion tasting menu. The least expensive tasting costs 85 bucks a head without drinks, but from having chocolate poured on your hands at the start of the meal to huffing rose-scented clouds billowing from your tabletop to end it, each moment is meticulously planned, delicious and a laugh-riot. They also have an a la carte menu with waterfront seating available." - Hernan Bas & Pete Rozek
"One star. Elcielo Miami is a tasting-menu only experiential Colombian restaurant in Brickell. Menu starts at $138 per person." - Olee Fowler
"The menu offers diners a taste of traditional Colombian cuisine with a modern take. Presentations are dramatic, from the tableside "chocotherapy" to the "Tree of Life" bread service. Tasting menu favorites have included a silken corn purée poured over garam masala-sprinkled popcorn and curds of queso fresco; as well as local, seared-to-a-crisp grouper plated with a salsa criolla-dressed tamal." - MICHELIN Guide
"Building off the success of Gaggenau’s dinner in Miami at One MICHELIN Star elcielo, those in attendance—part of Gaggenau’s Black Jacket Chef society in attendance—read like a list of culinary rock stars." - Edward Barsamian
