Miami's dining scene continues to flourish with the introduction of Elastika, a modern American restaurant nestled within the historic Moore Building in the Design District. Opened in April 2024, Elastika has quickly become a culinary hotspot, blending innovative cuisine with rich cultural heritage.
A Historic Setting Reimagined
The Moore Building, constructed in the 1920s, has been a cornerstone of Miami's architectural landscape. Its recent transformation includes Elastika, which occupies the building's first floor beneath the iconic Zaha Hadid sculpture from which it derives its name. This fusion of art and dining offers guests a unique ambiance that marries historical elements with contemporary design.
Culinary Excellence
Under the guidance of Executive Chef Joe Anthony, Elastika presents a menu that reflects Miami's diverse cultural tapestry. Committed to sustainability, the restaurant sources ingredients from local farms such as Tiny Farm, French Farms, and Swank Specialty Produce. Signature dishes include:
- Heirloom Tomato Gazpacho: A refreshing starter accompanied by pickled tomatillos, avocado, and fennel pollen focaccia.
- Citrus-Cured Kingfish Crudo: Featuring fermented farro, kohlrabi, and cucumber aguachile, this dish offers a harmonious blend of flavors.
- Eggplant and Sheep’s Milk Ravioli: Paired with a spring fricassee, local mushrooms, and pine nut froth, this entrée showcases the chef's creativity.
Each plate is thoughtfully crafted to provide a memorable dining experience that resonates with both locals and visitors.
An Award-Winning Ambiance
In December 2024, Elastika was honored as Miami's Most Beautiful Restaurant in the Eater Miami Awards. The establishment's design seamlessly integrates the building's historic architecture with modern aesthetics, creating an inviting atmosphere that enhances the dining experience.
