We visited last year for our anniversary, and there were some truly impressive moments. The presentation of the dishes is elaborate and visually stunning, clearly inspired by Colombian flavors and culture. Each plate is thoughtfully crafted, creating a sensory experience where you interact with the food and learn the story behind its inspiration. For our anniversary, they even added a heart shaped detail dessert, which was a lovely personal touch. We especially enjoyed the presentation of coffee, it was beautiful immersive way to connect with my culture.
That said, we had also been to the Bogotá location, and the flavors there felt more pronounced and enjoyable. While the dishes are beautifully presented at both locations, the taste doesn’t always match the creativity on the plate. The atmosphere in both restaurants can feel a bit bland compared to the visual experience. Overall, it’s a very, very nice experience, but given the price, it doesn’t quite live up to the full value you might expect.

I felt deeply scammed by this restaurant. While their presentation was impressive, the food quality and portions were very disappointing.
Their signature dish, “Tree of Life,” is basically fried mochi. It was hard to pull a piece off, and the side seasoning was overly sweet and didn’t pair well with the bread. The soup served with it was too salty. They added ice flakes to the soup, but it didn’t enhance the flavor—if anything, it felt like a pointless add-on.
One of the servers asked how I felt about the soup. I said it wasn’t really my thing. He didn’t ask why—he just walked away, which came across as arrogant and dismissive.
This is the worst Michelin-starred restaurant I’ve ever tried. It doesn’t deserve a Michelin star, and it’s definitely not worth the 20% service fee or a $500 bill (if you order drinks). If you’re considering dining here, please treat yourself better and go somewhere else.

El Cielo offers one of the most memorable Michelin dining experiences in Miami, blending modern Colombian cuisine with a creative, sensory-driven tasting menu. The restaurant is intimate and beautifully designed, and the service is warm, polished, and attentive from the moment you walk in.
The tasting menu is the highlight here and the 18 course experience is thoughtfully presented, balancing technique with flavors and utilizing different temperatures and textures. Signature moments like the chocotherapy (a dish where you lick chocolate from your fingers), the interactive “Tree of Life” bread service, crunchy stone crab empanadas, “Lulo” dessert and “Rose Petals” add a playful, immersive touch without feeling gimmicky. Dishes throughout the meal showcase traditional Colombian dishes, clean flavors and beautiful plating.
The pacing is smooth and efficient (approximately 1.5 hours for the whole experience), and the staff does an excellent job explaining each course and its inspiration. Wine pairings are also available along with non-alcoholic beverages if you prefer something lighter.
While the experience is definitely on the higher end, the quality, creativity, and hospitality make it feel special and worth the occasion. El Cielo is a great choice for anyone looking for a unique, thoughtful, and beautifully executed tasting menu in Miami. Note this restaurant is also on the InKind which is helpful to offset some of the cost.

Elcielo is an extraordinary experience — Colombian cuisine reimagined through art, science, and soul. Every course of the tasting menu feels like a story, blending authenticity with creativity in the most elegant way.
The presentation is impeccable, the flavors rich yet balanced, and the service beautifully orchestrated. It’s not just dinner — it’s a sensory journey that celebrates culture and craft.

I celebrated my birthday at El Cielo, and it was an unforgettable experience. The evening was filled with creativity and surprises, including a delightful birthday drink served in the table’s flower vase. Each course carried a unique and meaningful concept, and the food itself was absolutely incredible, showcasing exceptional culinary artistry. The ambiance was elegant and immersive, while the service and attention to detail were truly out of this world.

I had the pleasure of dining at Elcielo, and I must say, it was an extraordinary experience. The food was nothing short of exquisite, with every dish bursting with flavor and creativity. The service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel truly special throughout our meal. I left the restaurant with a full heart and a satisfied palate, and I can confidently say that I will be returning for another unforgettable evening. Highly recommended!

Elcielo completely blew me away. We did the tasting experience, and it was unlike anything I’ve ever had—an immersive, multi-sensory journey that engages more than just your taste buds. From finger foods to licking plates to getting your hands dirty, every course was creative, playful, and incredibly well-executed.
There wasn’t a single dish I didn’t enjoy, but the lamb in particular was absolutely unforgettable—the best I’ve ever had. The attention to flavor, presentation, and pacing was spot on.
Service was excellent from start to finish, and I have to shout out the lemongrass old fashioned—it was perfectly balanced and one of the highlights of the night.

Beautiful restaurant, was confused with the service as there was such a low effort of the menu explained to us. We were so confused. Overall the food was good and it’s was a nice atmosphere.

Husband and I went here in April for our anniversary. We had the tasting menu with wine pairing. I’ll start right off with the only negative – the wine pairing is not worth the money. The portions are small and the wines were nothing exceptional. In hindsight we would have been better off buying a couple nice bottles of wine. The paring was overpriced IMO.
Now on to the food. The service and food were outstanding. We have been to Michelin 1, 2, and 3 restaurants in and outside of the US. This was definitely in the top of some of our experiences. Elcielo did a great job of creating dishes that awaken all the senses in a unique way and not gimmicky. The taste, smell and visual presentation of the courses were exceptional. The “touch” part of the experience was unexpected. We were asked to eat melted chocolate with our hands. It was a lot of fun!
The portion sizes were perfect. It can be intimidating to approach SO many courses but they were small enough to where we could try a lot of different things and not feel gluttonous and too overstuffed by the end.
Definitely a great culinary experience and if you can afford the tasting menu for a special occasion, it will be a treat you won’t forget!
