Restaurante El Cielo

Let me start off by saying that this is the best dinner I’ve had in my life (except for my mom’s chicken biryani, obviously). El Cielo is no mere dinner, it’s an all out dining experience. Starting off with hot towels and a delicious welcome shot with cotton candy(!), to washing our hands with chocolate and exfoliating them with coffee grounds (I licked everything off my fingers after!), to the nine most interesting and amazing ‘moments’ with four wine pairings – it is easily the best way to spend your money in Medellin. Each of the ‘moments’ is a delightful take on traditional Colombian cuisine – the chef truly takes you on a journey through Colombia. I highly recommend making reservations a month in advance. Unfortunately, reservations require a phone call, but the long-distance charges will be worth it.
