In 2015, Elcielo Miami opened its doors, located in the Brickell sector in the heart of downtown and in the financial district of Miami, right on the banks of the river.
It offers modern signature cuisine, with the same creative and innovative style of chef Juan Manuel Barrientos, inspired by Colombian ancestral roots, but using avant-garde cooking techniques and neuroscience to surprise diners. It is also influenced by the cuisine of other Latin countries and uses local organic products grown in the state of Florida.
