📍Elcielo, Union Market, Washingotn, D.C. Extremely Grateful to Elcielo for inviting me to such an amazing experience! Elcielo is a Michelin Star restaurant and this was my first time at one (I believe). Besides the 20-course experience, there is a 13-course and 10-course option. I think if you're really into unique dining experiences and are an extreme foodie/not afraid to try things outside of your comfort zone, this would be a fun place to try. The 20-course experience lasted 3.5 hours (which is long). At times, it did feel like the experience was dragging, but I imagine it takes time to prepare all the dishes, even though they are small. We didn't leave here feeling stuffed but we also didn't leave feeling hungry. 20 courses sounds overwhelming, but all the courses are small (almost like samples) and some courses aren't traditional plated dishes, like the chocotherapy, where chocolate is poured on your hands and you taste it. The chocotherapy course is also paired with sugar and meant to act like a scrub for your hands, leaving them soft. The 20-course option is almost $300. If you ask me if it's worth almost $300, I am not sure, but it's definitely a special experience that had very good food with bursts of flavor. I’d rate the whole experience an 8.5/10! #DCRestaurants #DMVRestaurants #MichelinStarDC #ColombianFood #Elcielo
