At Elcielo Washington, D.C. We offer a fine dining tasting menu THE EXPERIENCE that is a tribute to Colombian Cuisine. Our team strives to create a unique and carefully crafted experience that taps into all your senses. The food and ambiance will transport you to the beautiful beaches of Cartagena and the mysterious corners of the Amazon jungle. The menu includes 22 courses, steps and dishes of varying size and composition as well as surprising sensory moments.
