The Moore in Miami’s Design District recently underwent a renovation. With it has come the addition of Elastika, a modern-American restaurant helmed by Executive Chef Joe Anthony.
The restaurant is named for the iconic Zaha Hadid sculpture, “Elastika,” which is suspended throughout the four-story atrium above the restaurant’s dining room.
Anthony is working with local farmers to source fresh ingredients for his menu. It features eclectic dishes such as the Florida Tomato Gazpacho with Pickled Tomatillos, Avocado and Fennel Pollen Focaccia; Grilled Florida Sun Shrimp made with Snap Pea Purée, Pickled Swiss Chard and Meyer Lemon Jam; grass-fed bison tartare, with escabeche aioli, umami crumble and housemade country loaf; and Grilled Painted Hills NY Strip Steak with Green Goddess, Charred Lettuces and Ginger Sabayon.
“By being conscientious about sourcing regenerative and sustainable ingredients whenever possible, we are able to create a distinct style of cuisine, while still pushing flavor to the forefront,” says Anthony.
Located on the first-floor lobby, Elastika also features a new sidewalk patio with covered seating and lush greenery.
Want just cocktails and a bite? Stop by the bar and try something from the mixology menu designed by internationally renowned mixologist Nico de Soto.
