Elcielo

When I tried this restaurant in Medellin Colombia you have highly expectations of how the food will be and especially how flavors will be! I’ll stick with the one in Medellin as flavors of their general Colombian ingredients are much better in every way but when friends want to try upscale Colombian food this is what I will always recommend. Experience in general was amazing but there’s a few here and there “The Experience” Tasting Menu wasn’t very accurate on flavors but everything was perfectly executed. Ps. Not everyone speaks English so you must find that employee who does in order to get what you want to order. We had trouble figuring out the bottle of wine of our choice since one of their employee wasn’t comprehending English very well.

What an experience! That’s not only a meal with a Micheli star, it’s an amazing experience. Food was delicious, we loved everything. Service was amazing, servers were around all the time. They brought our dishes right perfectly timed. The chocolate therapy is a nice experience in the middle of the meal. I loved all the explanations and reference from Colombian traditional food. The tasting manu has plenty of small dishes that you feel satisfied at the end.

Waited months to go, which was our plan. Each course was unique and delicious. The bites were perfectly portioned so 20 courses was doable. We bought the coffee beans served as a course, and were very excited to try it. I emailed for instructions and got ones for the coffee press. I asked a second time for the correct ones, and it's been at least 2 weeks with no help or response. Bought a kit to make the coffee like they do, but we're still waiting. That's a huge disappointment. Got our money and now have no use or interest in us. Still gave a 5 star. It's admin or owners I suppose, who don't care after the fact.

From the moment we stepped through the doors of El Cielo, it was clear that we were in for an evening of culinary indulgence. This restaurant, indeed worthy of its Michelin Star accolade, provided an unforgettable experience that was nothing short of extraordinary, and it was the perfect place to celebrate my birthday. We made our gastronomic journey at the bar, and let me tell you, the bartenders at El Cielo are true mixologists. Each of the four drinks we ordered was masterfully crafted, showcasing a balance of flavors that were both unique and delightful. From classic cocktails with a twist to imaginative concoctions, every sip was an adventure that whetted our appetites for the meal to come. The meal itself was a symphony of four dishes, each one expertly presented and incredibly delicious. The chefs at El Cielo clearly have a deep understanding of the ingredients they use, and their creativity shone through in each plate. The dishes were not just food but works of art, each with a balance of flavors and textures that danced on the palate. Service at El Cielo was impeccable. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our glasses were never empty and our needs always met. Their knowledge of the menu and their suggestions for both food and drink pairings were much appreciated. It's the attention to detail that really stands out at El Cielo, setting them apart in a world of fine dining. In conclusion, El Cielo offers more than just a meal—it's a complete dining experience. The ambiance, the service, the drinks, and of course, the exquisite food make it a standout choice for any special occasion. I couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate my birthday. I wholeheartedly give El Cielo 5 stars and recommend it to anyone seeking a dining experience that is both sophisticated and memorable

It’s a perfect place for a special celebration. We celebrated our anniversary and that covered our table with rose petals, which I think was a nice detail. The “experiences”, or dishes are very tiny portions of food or drinks, so don’t expect to fill up with just one thing. The staff is very friendly, professional, and they explain each step very carefully. It’s a little overpriced but, like I said, it’s perfect for a special occasion.
