Arguably the Miami Design District’s most electrifying adaptive reuse to date, the Neoclassical-style, four-story Moore complex hailing from the Roaring ‘20s has been thoughtfully reimagined. Today, the building comprises a private members-only club, a boutique hotel, and the drop-dead-gorgeous restaurant, Elastika. Occupying the first floor of the open-plan building and nestled under its namesake commission by late artist and architect Zaha Hadid, Elastika is testament to the vibrant flavors, design, and hyper-creative edge—past and present—that has branded Miami a global cultural phenomenon.
In this mesmerizing, high-design space, executive chef Joe Anthony leads diners on a soulful, globally inspired epicurean journey rooted in sustainable local farming and clean eating. Anticipate an impressive menu that starts with the likes of Florida tomato gazpacho with pickled tomatillo and avocado, aged kingfish crudo with fermented farro, local kohlrabi and cucumber “aguachile,” and eggplant and sheep’s milk ravioli serviettes. Next, relish the multi-dimensional flavor profiles of the spice-seared diver scallops over snap pea puree or the pork “rib eye.” Be sure to leave room for an Instagram-worthy dessert of pavlova filled with local guava and strawberry compote. In total, this is the Design District’s ultimate destination dining experience, offering sublime design while catering to the eco-minded, foodie-forward desires currently defining the restaurant landscape.
