Cuon: The restaurant that becomes a journey

★★★★

Breathtaking architecture/design, perplexing ambience and tasty food makes up the perfect restaurant to share and enjoy a delightful business night, lonesome night and even a love night.  During the past few years, development can be selected as the word to describe what is happening in the city of the eternal spring. Medellín, Colombia has become a very acclaimed city not just because of its intriguing beauty but because of its possibility to live different and new experiences with each restaurant they encounter. Lately, the same owners of a very prestigious restaurant in Medellin named El Cielo have united their forces to create this astonishing restaurant called Cuon. This mezclum of Asian techniques and flavors has come to obliterate any other restaurant in the city of the eternal spring.

Starting off by one of the most important or most crucial elements in a restaurant, the food. To begin with, the presentation of each dish is completely unique and aesthetically pleasing, by just looking at it your whole mouth drools.  Each plate is specifically cooked and thought to the measure, creating a delicious balance of contrasts the minute it crosses your lips. The new kid in town, is a melange of the most exquisite ingredients of Japan, Thailand, China and Korea; making you travel to a different culture each visit. One of its greatest hits is such a common plate as sushi, they are one of the few restaurants who follow the true Japanese tradition and will take you to a journey of eating the culture. There precise size and non use of cream cheese gives it a magic touch to have the chance to savor all of the ingredients in one bite. Sushi light for instance, presents something completely different. As a restaurant whose speciality is sushi and has been in the market for almost double as Cuon should have a clear objective of what is a “perfect” sushi. However their size is too big for a sushi, resulting it very hard to taste each flavor because you are too busy trying not to choke. The choices of ingredients are beyond lower to Cuon’s choices, now that the majority of sushis have cream cheese and with the mixture of the other ingredients such as anguila can result a little heavy for the stomach. Both Cuon’s and Sushi light’s prices are high and relatively similar to each other.  The asian specialized restaurant, truly radiates general satisfaction, class and prosperity towards its clients.

Sometimes we find restaurants with excellent food yet their environment is particular disappointing. For the most part I’m the type of customer who values a lot the architecture and interior design of a restaurant and to be honest I would probably won’t go to a restaurant if the is disengaged, and Cuon’s is exceptionally great. The owners of this genius creation, invested a lot on the design and architecture of house that was once abandoned. The atmosphere they achieve to manage in their place is unspeakable. With their dim lights, bulky floral and plant walls, spacious tables and an illuminated bar and kitchen give the perfect colors to build up a perfect ambiance. The architectural design of this place is something never seen before in the city of eternal spring. It is elegant with the right touch of casualness, every detail gives it a magical essence; you can see from the distance the pure love that was placed in each wall they painted, in every lamp they hung and in every flower they planted.

Being one of the best restaurants or being the restaurant of the moment can have its disadvantages. Even though Cuon presents a classy and elegant restaurant, because it is an expensive and luxurious restaurant for the majority of foodies, the people who tend to go can be persons who won’t exactly classify as elegant nor with class. Instead they are people who have kilometers of money, but have a very unpleasant and unwelcoming energy. Most of you reading this can say that it doesn’t matter and that everyone goes on their own plan, but from a perspective of the owners and the people who classify this restaurants, having this type of people can be a real reason to lower a lot of stars.

In a nutshell, Cuon provides an beautiful and different ambiance, an extensive yet exclusive variety of flavors, drinks and broad experiences which can take you to live the culture of each country by just sitting on a table with your loved ones. Because of this exceptional wonders this restaurant should become a number one choice to any foodie that resides on the city of Medellin.
