Da Terra Restaurant in London

Fantastic place, delicious food and great staff. What more can you ask for!?

great restaurant

The restaurant was incredible and the food was amazing, went with a couple of friends to try something new and it was whole new experience. Highly recommend to visit.

Had an amazing dinner with work colleagues while on a business trip. The tasting menu was had by all and the group had a mix of normal wine pairings, the premium wine pairings and the mixed alcoholic and non-alcoholic pairings. Service was impeccable as was the food. The evening was a journey into the heart and mind of Chef Cagali! Each course had a story to go with it that added to the experience. The group enjoyed the dinner so much that one of us came back during their honeymoon trip. I will look for reservations when business brings me back to London for sure. Thank you to the Chef and staff for an unforgettable evening

We had an absolutely amazing dinner here. All dishes were excellent. I think daTerra is much better than some three star restaurants in London and definitely on the level of Core and Gordon Ramsay. There are some Brazilian influences that make this tasting menu much more interesting than your average fine dining experience.

Very underrated! Food uniformly excellent with fun Brazilian notes and no let downs. Snacks and desserts are very strong. Indulgent but not interminable (a snappy 2.5 hours) as many tasting menus are .. Wine pairing gets a big shout out for being generous, interesting and delicious (vs other restaurants where it often seems a mechanism to screw you.) Atmosphere relaxed and cool. Staff ofc lovely and not overbearing. Also possible to get a table at something less than 3 months, at a reasonable time.

Michelin two stars. The overall meal is Brazilian-style tortellini and they are delicious! Finally, they are no longer cheese-filled dumplings. The bread is also great! Especially their seasoned butter. You can never get tired of it or get enough of it. The main course is a kind of fish from Brazil with spicy and sour side dishes. It s delicious and satiates your cravings. This kind of combination is really rare in restaurants, and it is a restaurant where you can come again

Amazing culinary experience.

If you make a reservation at Da Terra, my advice is don t get sick: they ll charge you £230 per head for precisely nothing. My partner and I have been to quite a few tasting menu type experiences, and Da Terra was easily more than double the next most expensive. We were prepared to give it a go on the strength of the positive reviews here and a friend s recommendation. Whether the food is worth the eye-watering cost, however, is a question I can t answer for you. We fell ill on the day of our reservation and would likely have spent the evening vomiting in the restaurant s bathroom had we attended. Requests for any leniency given the circumstances beyond our control were met with a resounding too bad. One might expect amiable customer service at such astronomical prices, but all we got was a heartless reiteration of Da Terra s cancellation policy (the cost per head for a cancellation is more than quadruple the next highest I have seen). So thanks, Da Terra, for making a bad day worse. I hope the owners are happy: whether or not it s any good as a restaurant, it s certainly an efficient machine for seperating you from your money. We won t risk a further reservation.

Honestly it s soooo good. Forget the service, ambience etc. the food is the winner here

Probably the most delicious meal Ive ever had. The tasting menu was incredible and the service phenomenal

A very special place. Beautifully presented & absolutely delicious food. Impeccable service - warm, attentive, and personal, from staff who all seemed to love what they do. And a bright, charming dining room with nicely spaced tables from which to see the kitchen team at work. Perfect. Thank you

Food - absolutely amazing. The kind of mind it requires to invent dishes like this is very rare. The chef personally discussed dishes with us regularly. Service - the staff went above and beyond to ensure the night was worth the investment. Atmosphere - nice spot, great music, and when your taste buds are being danced on with such incredible flavors it s hard to notice anything else.

Excellent lunch, recommended

Hands down the best meal I have had in London! Being a chef in fine dining 10 out of 10!

London has a lot of very good restaurants and a few exceptional ones. An exceptional restaurant has to get everything right and create an indelible memory of time, place, feeling and flavours. We celebrated our 40th anniversary here with our London based son and his husband -who have dined here on previous occasions. Da Terra does everything exceptionally well. The staff are a credit to Rafael Cagali and made the experience feel very personal. The degustation menu is inspired . I can feel a bit anxious about degustation menus incase the balance isn t right or it all tastes same same. There s a lot that can go wrong. We loved every single dish. It was wonderful for us to have Rafael Cagali come to our table to chat and present a course. Thank you. Do not hesitate to book a table at Da Terra.

Amazing tasty food, atmosphere was relaxing and welcoming.

Well deserving of the hype and status. This place is amazing. Each dish was absolutely delicious with beautiful storytelling through the courses. Food : 5/5

Amazing special occasion place, stunning flavours, amazing staff.

Never going back again Just tasted bad to be honest Way overpriced for the quality and ingredients for what I m getting Would not recommend to anyone Food : 1/5 |

A special spot for our anniversary dinner. Top notch food and service. The chef is a genius and his staff is well-informed and personable.

You get what you pay for.

Rafael and team were truly exceptional. Food was awesome and service was impeccable and felt very personal. Bravo

Great food, none of the dishes had any faults, but at the same time I was underwhelmed given the high price

We had a spectacular lunch today, incredible food with lots of new flavours for us. We loved every part of the experience

My partner and I went to Da Terra last Saturday to celebrate our first anniversary. We like to say that one of our deepest love languages is food as we are always exploring restaurants, either local neighbourhood food stalls or Michelin starred menus. Both of us are from Brazil, so we were really curious to check this Brazilian-inspired menu created by a Brazilian Michelin-starred (twice!) chef. My expectations were high, but I didn t leave disappointed at all. To be fair, I was still very much surprised. Although the menu was a surprise, I had checked previous menu samples online and I was expecting a fish moqueca from the state I was born. It was delicious. Yes, it s not your mum s traditional recipe, but I wasn t expecting it to be. In fact, the chef s signature moqueca improved its flavour in many ways. It was rich and full of personality. Different, but just like a moqueca should be. However, as much as I was expecting the moqueca to be my favourite part, I was personally and emotionally touched by the quail tortellini soup. I was born and raised in Bahia, but my family comes from a Italian community in Caxias do Sul, in the southernmost state of Brazil. The italian food my family eats is slightly different from the contemporary praised Italian cuisine. We eat polenta, quail, and tortellini soup. I believe the chef has a similar background because he managed to catch the identity of Italian communities in Brazil and improve it in his own way. When I said I got emotional, I really mean it. I thought of the many evenings when I was still living in Brazil and we gathered in my grandpa s place to eat this kind of soup. I think this is the beauty of this restaurant. It gives a slice of what Brazil really is and its many influences. At the same time, it also tells a story about the chef himself and, of course, about me as well. What an amazing way to spend our anniversary. I plan to come again on my birthday.

Lovely day, in a lovely room :)

An great experience that lived up to the expectations and a kitchen that is well deserving of all their accolades. An amazing culinary journey of exceptionally executed dishes with deep roots in traditional cooking. A wonderful showcase of unique ingredients and techniques that gave a unique twist in the best way possible. The service was impeccable, with the staff being very attentive and extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the menu, this extended to the sommelier, she was able to give us some great recommendations that complimented our meal perfectly. Personal highlight, the chef piling on caviar on top of the most excuisit cachaça baba. The desserts here were no joke and probably warrant a review on their own but yes, incredible things coming from that kitchen.

A nice dining experience

Just amazing. Bit expensive

Incredible restaurant. Stunning food.

One of my favourite meals and restaurants in London! Absolutely amazing experience! Can t recommend highly enough!

Stunning food and service

An amazing experience at Da Terra, where all dishes are designed to make you feel an explosion of taste. We had the honor to meet Chef Rafael Cagali that explained his creations with passion and kindness. All staff members are extremely polite and well trained. Thank you for making my fiancé s birthday unforgettable!

Beautiful experience - the food is absolutely amazing. So many different flavours, complimenting each other intensely. The staff is also very well trained. The atmosphere overall was relaxing and enjoyable, 3 hours went by without noticing!

Very tasty. Unusual dishes, beautiful presentation, delicious desserts. The food comes out quickly. And the chef personally brings out the dishes. Beautiful interior.

This is a two Michelin star restaurant in east London so prices are high but definitely worth it. The dishes have a Brazilian background but with a fusion twist and, for lunch, you can choose between a five and nine courses meals. We went for the 5 courses with wine tasting and it was delicious I have to say. Its very small but with a very nice atmosphere. You can also see the kitchen and the magic they do behind lthe counter. The staff is very polite and prepared. Definitely worth going if you like fine dining experiences.

Deserved of both the Michelin stars its been awarded, thoroughly. We have been visiting Da Terra as an occasional family outing for a few years and each time delivers a new bar setting. Its incredible how the chefs can continue to push themselves to the next level of refinement. The waiting staff are the most highly trained in the profession and really make a positive influence to your enjoyment of the experience. The bone marrow butter is simply bliss. Outstanding, every time

I didn t quite understand the menu, so I ordered two set meals. Regardless of the taste, the design of the dishes is indeed good. For a Northeasterner, every plate is eaten cleanly and the result is not full. Embarrassed

Amazing place! Came here twice while we were in Lisbon. So many healthy and delicious options. Cold salads and quiches and hot food - rice and different curries including seitan, canellini beans. Different options each day. Amazing, one of my top restaurants!! I m not even vegan and I loved it! Highly recommend and great service!!

What more can I say? Sensational food and wine from Chef Rafael. Managed to try the lunch tasting menu with the wine pairing. We were being looked after very well, even down to the small details. If youre in town, this is one place you dont want to miss. Kudos once again to Chef Rafael and team!

Sad to say it s very mediocre taste and service for a 2 Michelin star restaurant. More presentation than substance.

Amazing place, great service and very creative, well presented dishes. One of the best restaurants Ive ever been to, easily top 3.

A real gem for Bethnal Green!

Really nice food, but I hope the Asian waiter could be more enthusiastic about his job in the future :)

An absolutely amazing meal from beginning to end. The staffs pride and joy was delivered with every course. I cant recommend this enough! If youve done a lot of Michelin dining - youll very much appreciate this one. And if youve never dined Michelin before - this one might spoil you going forward. Its a very intimate and very special dining experience. Service was impeccable!

Absolutely amazing. Everything, the food, the service, the commentaries for the dishes and the wines and other was very helpful. The staff were well trained and delightful.

My partner and I came here for the first time to celebrate our 3 year anniversary and I was surprised at how low-key and relaxed the atmosphere was, which to me is a good thing! The service was truly impeccable and always friendly and warm. The decor appeared classy and minimalistic but look closely and you will see the incredible attention to detail. And the food, oh, the food. It was far and beyond better than what I expected. The chef definitely tells a story with each course and everything was very unique. Truly one of the best meals Ive had. Absolutely phenomenal and worthy of its Michelin status. Chef Rafael Cagali deserves it all!

I had the pleasure of visiting Da Terra restaurant in London and I can say without a doubt that it was one of the best dining experiences of my life. From start to finish, every course was a perfect delight and each course continued to build up to the main course. I have rarely experienced every dish being prepared to such a high standard. The cuisine at Da Terra is truly a masterpiece. Each plate was not only visually impressive, but also a highlight in terms of taste. The combinations of flavors and textures were perfectly balanced and every bite was a delight. Its truly a rare coincidence that a restaurant can cook at this level. I also loved the wine list. It was fairly priced and offered a wide selection of wines that went perfectly with the dishes. The service was also excellent. The boss himself came to our table several times to make sure everything was OK and the staff worked heart and soul to make sure our evening went perfectly. Finally, I would like to thank you for the wonderful evening I spent at Da Terra. The food, service and atmosphere were perfect and I cant wait to return and enjoy this unique culinary experience again. Da Terra is without a doubt one of the best restaurants in London and I recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable culinary experience.

Unbelievably creative and delicious dishes, great ambiance and top notch service. Chef Cagali delivered a masterpiece and this meal was the highlight of our trip.

A cosy dinner, modern European with Brazilian twist. It was very quiet at lunchtime. We had the whole place for ourselves for 2 hours.

all the food tastes delicious

Fantastic, creative food, and the paired wine selections were superb. Excellent service as youd expect at this level. Vegetarian options: A vegetarian tasting menu is available.

Best meal and hospitality me and my husband have experienced in a while. It was my husbands 30th birthday dinner and it was something else. Chefs and FOH working there are amazing.

We went for a special occasion looking for a new exciting food experience and da Terra definitely delivered. Every dish was beautifully presented and explained.Very creative,full of flavour, and good size portions. We went for the half alcoholic and half non alcoholic selection and felt a little puzzled by some of the non alcoholic drinks. The table setting was special the way the sigle light lightened the table deserve a special mention,just perfect. The service was impeccable, the atmosphere young and trendy. A memorable dinner for our family, thank you.

Amazing 2 Michellen star restaurant. The tasting menu is artistic, every dish have a special taste and great wine with it. The service is great they thought of everything This restaurant is beyond food its a journey.

It was perfect. Beautiful place, the best service Ive had and the food was exceptional. I loved that the chefs come and serve the food themselves, was a nice touch. Will definitely be back (once weve saved up a bit).

A really delicious and unique fine dining experience. Beautiful setting and amazing service to match. Was genuinely surprised by the whole experience and will be back!

HORRIBLE experience. Our train was delayed so we had to cancel. I even tried to reschedule. They would not respond. And they charged $620!!!!! to make it worse. It was on coronation day and I know they were able to fill that reservation without issue. I would NEVER recommend.

Amazing event

Best meal of my life. @Victoria_Foodies

A gastronomical delight in east London. We started our tour with a bang by dining at Da Terra. It was an excellent Michelin level dining experience. The ingredients were clearly curated to form delicate flavours, from the snacks, savoury mains to even the desserts. I thoroughly enjoyed the bite size snacks, especially with the white truffle. Their fish stew was also delightful with the chilli beans / I felt as though I was transported to North East Brazil to sample its finest ingredients. The pineapple dessert from their tasting menu was refreshing with a balanced tartness and multi layers of texture. Would highly recommend.

Every single element of their tasting menu was utterly delicious, even the peas tasted like you just opened it fresh from the garden. Every single course was my favorite and so thoughtful presented - it s pricey but worth every pound!

Incredible experience and a fantastic way to spend an evening.

Everything was perfect at our dinner. It was an amazing experience to dine in a 2 Michelin star restaurant. We had the tasting menu. Many of the dishes were inspired by Brazilian famous dishes. I highly recommend this place! The chef and staff were all super welcoming.

best place

Perfect restaurant, perfect memories. Become one of the reasons for me to visit London again.

Simply amazing. Starting by the staff, excepctional! It was a full experience, different flavours, textures and presentations. Thank you so much for this great evening! Food : 5/5

Vegetarian options: Más que una Food

Food and drinks added

Excellent food and service. Been to many 2-3 star restaurants and this was excellent. So why 4 stars? The wine package could be better. First off, it is a bit weird to have 3 rounds of pre dinner snacks but no wine. No wine to cheers the start of the dinner/evening. As the wine package only starts at the first real course. To be fair they did tell us that up front. So, why did we not order a glass of wine to start with? We thought that we would have 7 glasses of wine during the dinner. That would already be a lot of alcohol. However these glasses are really small. Probably only 75ml for the 5 normal wines and 2 smaller dessert wines. So it ended up not too heavy on the liver. So my advice, either skip the wine package and just order 3-4 normal glasses. ( probably the same price ) Or Da Terra, please make the first glass a glass of bubbles ( with an option for a more fancy bubble) and skip 1 of the 2 sweet wines. That is what we would do next time!

We had a great time. Everything was absolutely excellent.

Enjoyed a fantastic tasting menu lunch at Da Terra on Saturday. Fantastic food with wonderful flavours (and a Brazilian influence) that all looks too good to eat! The fish stew course (Moqueca) was definitely a stand out but every course was delicious. The staff were all amazing too and it was such a nice, relaxed atmosphere with some great 80s tunes in the background! Highly recommended!!!

Where to start, if you are in London and even remotely want a fine dining experience you need to get on the tube and go to Da Terra in East London. It was an absolutely amazing experience. The chef is a genius, and more importantly his staff is spot on. The restaurant might be small, and the number of staff is limited, but they treat everyday like it might be their last, I can t imagine the stress if everyday was the Super Bowl. They make fine dining casual if that is even something you could think is possible. Unlike a stuffy French chef running the kitchen from his perch this chef came out and helped serve and greet guests. We felt very welcomed and enjoyed every moment. The best part is I eat meat and my wife is vegetarian, and they had unique and extremely delicious dishes for both of us. I don t know why they haven t gotten a third star yet honestly. Everything was spot on and the staff from the guy refilling your water to the head chef were the absolute best. Also, see if you can spot all of the ninja turtles.

LOVE. If anyone is tired of contemporary European, this is the place to try. Especially in summer! The plating was quirky, beautiful and surprising and obviously a lot of thoughts have been put in plating. Snacks, starters and main courses were so unique and creative yet super delicious. The pace and quantity of food was perfect (not a lot of 1/2 star restaurants did well on these aspects. Can t remember how many times I just couldn t eat anymore during main course) However the cheese was a bit to adventurous for me, and the baba was like a bit too creative but it ended with a very pleasant pineapple coconut dessert. Overall LOVE. Don t think a 2 star restaurant is desperate for my review, but will defo revisit!!!

A couple of canapés kicked the meal off to a great start. An amuse-bouche of prawn, vodka and tomato was so tasty and warm. The rich shellfish flavour of the prawn married perfectly with the tangy and strong flavours of the tomato and alcohol. It was also served in one of the coolest bowls I have seen. A delicate and vibrant dish of hamachi with a pea dashi followed. The next dish was named Humble Chicken. This was just great; so rich, so satisfying and above all so delicious. The bread and butter was very nice but I didnt like the bone marrow spread beside it as it was far too rich and had very little flavour. The texture reminded me of hardened fat. Next, I had a sophisticated version of Moqueca, a Brazilian fish stew. The aged turbot was good but slightly too chewy for me. The sauce was packed with all the flavours of the seafood. It had a good spicy kick too. The main meat dish was pork with morels and endive. It was tender and had a good meat-to-fat ratio. The morel added plenty of flavour. The refreshing and subtly sweet bitterness of the endive balanced the dish. A cheese course named Romeo & Juliette came next. It came in the form of a smooth and sweet cheese which had set to form a small cylinder, topped with a delicate guava gel. This was one of the best cheese courses I have eaten. It could have easily been eaten as a dessert. The first dessert was a Baba, which was served with pistachio ice cream and caviar. Unfortunately, this dessert wasnt the one for me. The liquor was too bitter and the caviar added an overly salty flavour. The flavours were rather unusual. There wasnt enough sweetness. The main dessert of pineapple and coconut, on the other hand, was gorgeous. The coconut parfait was cool and had a great consistency. The pineapple added a refreshing element. It was just the sort of dessert you want in the summer! It was also highly different from many of the desserts I have tasted over time and really had some originality. Some petit fours, including a super boozy liquor candy that looked like a gummy completed the meal. Generally, the food was brilliant. The Brazilian elements really differentiated it from your typical European cuisine, which made it all the more fun to eat. But I do think that £215 is slightly overpriced and I was expecting a little more from a restaurant that had recently been given 3rd place in the National Restaurant Awards. But I will come back!

Restaurant with a south american / Brazilian influence I particularly like when each kitchen staffs came and gave some insights about each dish and some of their cooking techniques I particularly like the Hamachi and its broth. The broth flavour was intense and nice The olive oil butter made without dairy was interesting also For the Moqueca, the coconut sauce could have had a little more flavour The bone marrow was good but it felt quite heavy In overall it was a good experience

Absolute best meal we have ever had and such a wonderful experience. Every dish was unique and bursting with flavor.

One of the most incredible dining experiences. Besides the food being wonderful, each of the chefs that prepare your course deliver the food and explain the background for the dish. This is on track for being a 3 Michelin star soon.

I visited for dinner on a Friday night. The venue is split into two sections. The front room faces into the open kitchen and this is clearly the place to be. The back room may still offer a partial kitchen view depending where you are seated, albeit you re a bit too far back to really appreciate it. Views aside it s a nice enough venue and it was nice to see they ve tried to keep things relatively informal. Only one tasting menu is on offer, priced at £225 per head. Interestingly, apart from the usual wine pairing (£150), they did also offer a non-alcoholic pairing (£95), as well as a half and half option (£125). Our meal started off strongly. The carabineros as well as the humble chicken were both stand out courses which were excellently prepared. However, I didn t enjoy the second half of the meal as much. Don t get me wrong, it wasn t bad, but it just didn t deliver the standard I would have expected from a 2-star venue. Dishes were all beautifully presented, but I wasn t convinced by some of the flavour combinations, for example in the moqueca dish. I don t eat pork, and the one pork dish was substituted with a seafood dish, meaning there was no red meat included throughout my meal, which was a bit disappointing given the Brazilian influenced menu. I also thought the desserts were a bit too adventurous, with two savoury/sweet combos followed by a pineapple based dish. Something more typical (e.g. chocolate based) would have been more enjoyable, but perhaps is just down to personal preference. Service was excellent. Staff were quite friendly and they created a relaxed atmosphere. I liked how different chefs would come out to present individual dishes. The meal progressed at a decent pace and we were done in around 2.5 hours. The bill for 2 people including a wine pairing came to £900. Overall, although the service was good and there were enjoyable components of the menu, it felt a bit inconsistent and I came away slightly underwhelmed, especially considering the price point which is definitely at the upper end of the range for fine dining in London. Having tried most of the 2/3 star restaurants in town, this unfortunately wouldn t rank as one of my favourites.

I believe theres no reason to hate this place. The food is great. The service is great. They even complimented my haircut. Kind of odd for a restaurant but it was nice to get a compliment. NICE!!! Food : 5/5

Absolutely fantastic all round experience at Da Terra. Having been to many 2-3 star restaurants, this is now in our top 3 in the city together with Core and La Dame de Pic. Chef Rafa delivers a creative menu with strong Brazilian influences. Every dish is creative and full of flavours, beautifully combined. The moqueca and pork dish were true memorable standouts. The service was phenomenal, with thoughtful touches throughout. We will definitely visit Elis very soon as well. I would not be surprised if a third star is on the horizon soon.

I recently dined at Da Terra and had an experience that has left me deeply disappointed. Despite clearly communicating my dietary restrictions both via email and in person with the management (which include not consuming red meat, offals, and foods high in purines), my guidelines were blatantly ignored on multiple occasions during my meal. First, I was served a chicken heart skewer. When I informed the server that I couldn t consume offals and had already told the management about it, the server s response was dismissive, suggesting that I could just choose not to eat it. The dish was eventually replaced, but the damage to my experience was done. Then, incredibly, I was served a dish containing cow bone marrow. When I spoke to the chef, I was told that bone marrow isn t considered offal, which is not only incorrect but also irrelevant since it s high in purines a fact that I had explicitly stated I needed to avoid. I reached out to Da Terra s management with my concerns and received an unsatisfactory response that failed to address the seriousness of the issues at hand. Dining out should not be a gamble with one s health and well-being, especially when dietary restrictions have been clearly communicated. Unfortunately, my experience at Da Terra indicates a lack of attention to such critical details, calling into question the restaurant s commitment to customer service and safety. I cannot recommend Da Terra given these serious oversights. If you have specific dietary needs, exercise caution and perhaps consider other establishments that are more attentive and respectful to such requirements.

Great experience! Thoroughly enjoyed my evening and the wonderful food we were presented with. Amazing flavours and definitely would recommend. It was a unique experience - with wonderful atmosphere and wine pairing. The staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable on the food they were presenting. Couldn t recommend this restaurant highly enough.

Daterra is a surreal experience. From the moment you arrive the drinks, the food, the service. It is the most unique and extraordinary experience that I have had in a restaurant. Taste, smell, crust. I can not describe. Please do not miss this unique in a life experience you can have today!

My best friend and I booked a 40th birthday dinner at Da Terra and the entire night was indescribable! The food was first-class, creative, and visually stunning. Every bite offered layers upon layers of flavor. Candidly, I have no clue what we ate and what was on the tasting menu because we were living in the moment and savoring every second of the experience all I know is that everything we ate was perfection! The service was exceptional and Chef Rafael himself even served us a few dishes we were starstruck! The tasting menu is worth every penny...go for it and treat yourself! Chef Rafael . Thank you for an unforgettable night!

The behaviour with tourist and regular customers is different. Hence not recommended.

An absolute dream! Complete must for anyone who knows about Brazilian food. Utterly superb.

Excellent creativity. Nice to see Brazilian components showcased in England... The rum-caviar dessert is spectacular. For me, Heston Blumenthal and this place are the two best restaurants in London. Food

Amazing Experience. The Chef is very welcoming and explains the story of each dish. The staff is also very helpful. Every dish is made from scratch at the restaurant including the prosciutto which is remarkable.

Ambiguous food , average ambience, shocking price

Excellent experience, impeccable service. Vegetarian options: Substitutions available Food : 5/5 |

My first dining experience at this level. blown away by the depth in flavour. Marias wine pairing was exceptional and the Greek wine on the pairing with the wonderful moqueqa bought a deep personal touch to the whole experience and enhanced everything to a new level. All courses excelled but in particular the Romeo and Juliet (cheese and guava) stood firm in the top 2/3 things Ive ever eaten The Baba with pistachio and caviar was pure genius. World class ingredients in an inventive presentation. Top class with immaculate cohesion between the FOH and the kitchen

Started very well but faded towards the end. Service was meh.

The food and the service was excellent. In particular, the waiters were impeccable. The food married Brazilian and European flavours superbly. However, in my opinion, for the price we paid (£500 pp), for which we had the full tasting and pairing menu, the food has to be not just great, but incredible. It was great, and interesting, but not incredible. We loved that the chef came to explain some of the dishes, and clearly a lot of thought had gone into them. But for the price, the food has to hit a level it just did not hit. We loved our experience at Da Terra, I just think it wasn t quite worth the price.

Truly amazing experience, every dish is perfectly balanced and executed. We have been to many Michelin starred restaurants and Da Terra is better than most 3 stars. We went for lunch and had a choice of lunch tasting and full tasting menu, but we would highly recommend the full tasting menu

Fabulous blind tasting menu @daterrarestaurant in #bethnalgreen by chef @rafacagali Bold exciting flavours complement each other in every delicious dish and each presented beautifully with Brazilian ingredients and inspiration throughout. We struggled to pick a favourite course and loved that each had a twist of flavour that was both familiar but unexpected keeping our tastebuds intrigued throughout the meal. I mean who puts N25 caviar on ice cream for crying out loud?!?! More please

Impeccable! Only weak dish-pistachio and caviar...

Very well executed food, with influences from all around the world and especially South America. The use of ingredients unusual in Europe, is well balanced, and the dishes are the expression of an elegant and at times quite classic fine-dining approach. The level of food was very high, especially the main dishes, fish and meat, were outstanding. The food deserves the two Michelin starts and the other accolades. In terms of quality/price ratio, probably on the expensive side, but the uniqueness of the food proposal is worth the visit. The area where the restaurant is situated its not the nicest, the restaurant inside is nice and the atmosphere is good. The service overall was nice, although I would have liked more details and information about the dishes and the inspiration of them from the waiters. The rhythm of the food felt also slightly too fast for my preference, and I didnt always have time to pick the drink for the next dishes because of that, especially if I didnt like the first choice proposed by the sommelier. The dishes

What a wonderful time. Innovative interesting food. At these price points, I ll be a little harsher however. Atmosphere and music is a little odd. Music is lighthearted 80s 90s but then the service is overly formal and serious so they clash. We are in east London - why not have a little more fun across the board. I love a good moqueca (in fact it s presence on the menu was why I chose this restaurant) but I didn t love the way they condescendingly educate you about that dish without asking if you ve had it or been to Brazil or even Bahia before. We could have connected on this dish in a nicer way that was less basic. Also they show you a sample of their moqueca which includes a variety of fish and shellfish. But they don t serve theirs with the shellfish in the actual dish. A bit of a deception. Finally, one of us had a food allergy (nuts). And we gave lots (weeks) of notice. They were very careful. Sometimes they replaced the nut with something else and interesting. That s awesome. But on a few dishes they also just served me the same dish as my partner but left ingredients off the dish. Which made me feel I was missing out. Again - at a top tier price point, I expect better. Dessert was my favorite dish I ve had maybe ever. So I can recommend this restaurant but they can take it a next step.

Amazing experience

We loved everything - super tasty and original, perfect service and atmosphere, would definitely recommend. We did lunch 5 courses (lunch menu).

Phenomenal experience. Service was fantastic, food was incredibly flavourful and all in a very relaxed environment for a 2* Michelin restaurant.

The Service was lovely, and The aged Turbot was the highlight! The Sweet portions were great but could ve had more protein/savoury.

Phenomenal experience, the highest attention to detail.

Everything was good, until I got food poisoning after we left. Pretty sure it was the house wine. This is rather disappointing for the price point.

Very exotic, not bad taste. But some dishes are a bit of weird flavour especially the goat cheese dessert Overall okay with good service

I got the 5 course lunch set and every dish was so well thought out, with an exquisite and harmonious blend of flavours.

Very professional and high standards of food and service. Expensive

There are a few occassions in life when you expect perfection and your expectations are exceeded. Lion King The Musical, a Federer forehand or the latest documentary from David Attenborough and we can add Da Terra to that list. The meal actually begins before you enter. As one walks down the raucous Patriot Road, you almost forget the reason youre here, until you enter the innocuous doors and youre instantly transported into a whole new world and you can taste something in the air: skill. The food is presented with the same passion as an artist walking you through their gallery, with every single dish deconstructued and reconstructed through conversation and dish was curated in such a way that you can travel the world without ever leaving your chair. The only comment I have on the price is I started to regret not having worked harder in my life, so I could afford to pay them more.

Amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious & everyone was very attentive & kind. Loved the simple & clean interior. Would definitely go again!

definitely a meal to remember!! inventive and delicious dishes combining the flavours of the chef s brazilian and italian roots - honestly don t have a favourite, they were all so excellent!! the service was really lovely and i loved the vibe; comfy and not pretentious at all.

This is the spot. If you are contemplating splurging on a meal to treat you, your loved ones or just yourself, this is the place. The menu crafted by Rafael is second to none and my words will not do his team s work justice. They did not miss a single dish and you can definitely see the details in their efforts to create an ultimate gastronomic experience.

Absolutely love it here. Excellent meal and service at the restaurant. Good to see Raphael in action and well deserved second

Absolutely stunning. Our favourite dining experience in London. The drinks pairing was incredible! Staff are lovely and helpful with explaining the dishes . We had a wonderful evening thank you so much

World-class food and cozy, playful environment. Phenomenal service: engaged, knowledgeable and delightful. Perfect.

Modern take on brazilian cuisine with italian influences. Flawless food and service.

Had the long tasting menu. Absolutely love it here! Everything was amazing and had a great time celebrating my boyfriend s 30 s birthday here. Would recommend the long tasting menu. So much fun. Great service too.

Wow - fantastic. What an experience!!! Worth every penny - great great people! (Maybe not the can of ale?!? (Slightly odd) - but everything else was perfect!) we ll be back

Unbelievable experience. Every dish on the long tasting menu was was incredible, creative but approachable at the same time. Beyond the food, the atmosphere and service was second to none. All staff were attentive, knowledgeable, passionate about the menu and happy. An open kitchen with chefs who prepare but also serve and talk through the food just adds to the personality. Chef Rafael also personally serves dishes from the menu which just adds to a very special experience at Da Terra. Both vegetarian and pescetarian diets were accommodated throughout - all dishes were great. Will come back without a doubt and highly recommend!

Best restaurant i have been in a while. Great atmosphere and service. Food was delicious. Dont know which one of the 10 dishes was better modern brazilian with japanese and italian touches. A must go!

Excellent meal and service. My girlfriend is vegetarian and they were able to prepare a vegetarian tasting menu for her (which was equally as delicious), highly recommended.

Beautiful menu, fantastic food

Outstanding. Incredible. Words and pictures alone cannot do this place justice but I will try. Chef Rafael and his team have created an incredible experience where every detail is paid proper attention to from the second you step through the curtain-lined doors. The space is small and intimate yet very relaxed and casual. The whole staff serves food, explains the dishes, and answers questions with a smile on their faces. The food is a mixture of familiar and strange but none of it is intimidating and it is all exceptionally delicious. The pacing of the service was ideal- as soon as we started to feel full there was a slight lull before getting into the heaviest courses and then ultimately finishing with several light deserts that theres somehow room for. The pairings were exceptional and we tasted some incredible wines. The pairings also included a beer which was delightful and if I could have changed any one thing about our experience I think it would be nice to have more beer pairings throughout the menu but as a brewer I must acknowledge my bias. We did the full tasting menu with pairings, price when all was said and done came to about $800 USD and the meal lasted just under three hours. Grab a nice cocktail at Silkweaver next door before your dinner if you want to pregame your evening! Thank you again Chef Rafael for an unforgettable meal.

If I were to write about each course of the ten part tasting menu this would be a never ending review. There would be so much to say about each one. I ve never felt anxious about eating in a restaurant before until Da Terra. A blind tasting menu, humble chicken I didn t know it was possible to eat a chickens foot! The experience was stunning start to finish. The dining room - we loved the art, the furniture, the ingeniously fitted table cloths, the lighting, the open plan kitchen, the historic building. The presentation - we loved the tableware, the decorative food displays, the creative cutlery, the Italian linen napkins, the little stool for my handbag. The staff - they were all just so friendly, relaxed, knowledgeable, funny and accommodating. The chef, Rafael, served one course personally which was a really lovely touch. Our waiter for most of the evening - Alex - was wonderful. He was personable, confident, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, articulate and professional. It was obvious that he really cared about our dining experience. But the star of the show is ultimately the food. Every course was thoughtful, beautiful, complex, exciting and original. We didn t opt for the wine pairing - but they make a great Old Fashioned cocktail. We will undoubtedly return and would highly recommend a visit to this fabulous restaurant... And trying a chicken foot.

Ridiculously good. We went for the long tasting menu and it was one of the best meals my wife and I have ever had. Thoughtful and creative dishes packed with flavour, with some unusual but clever wine pairings. Service from the team was faultless too. Dont ruin the surprise by looking up the dishes, just come along in the knowledge you wont be disappointed. I think I have a new favourite chef...

Tried the ~14 course tasting menu, easily one of the best fine dining establishments in London and a new personal favourite

Incredible experience! I have a gluten allergy and everything had a gluten free variation including sour dough, brioche, and ravioli! I didnt feel left out at all like I normally would even at Michelin star restaurants. Incredible food with very unique presentation. Hats off to the chef!

5.8 stars! Amazing food, chef, and staff. Only not 6 stars as the Asian head waiter with spiked hair needs to smile once a night (a bit too stuffy). But chef is charming, and a true food artist. Full tasting with premium wine pairing and added coffee/grappa was $400 USD in the end. Worth every penny. So often big buck tasting are disappointing. This one was superb! That goes for the wine as well - a lot of thought put into the choices. Bravo Chef and a lovely hard working team!

Dined at lunchtime and had the long tasting menu and wine pairing and our bill for two came to just over £700. Overall, it was a relatively underwhelming experience and my guest and I came away from the meal wondering how on earth they had two stars. Staff were pleasant but not overly hospitable and one member of the wait staff was so unfriendly he verged on rude. My final course was barely warm whereas my guest s dish was hot. I was served a glass with a pretty noticeable chip which could have been problematic if I hadn t spotted it. When asked about our experience at the end of the meal, we raised our surprise that the head chef had come round to every table around us to present a dish however did not come to ours. This was met with radio silence and no acknowledge leading me to wonder why he bothered to ask us in the first place. Overall, we had a pleasant afternoon but that was down to each other s company and ability to laugh off certain parts of our experience therefore I would not recommend Da Terra to anyone expecting fireworks.

One of the best 2 stars Ive had. Second visit and highly recommend the longer tasting. An intimate, non pretentious, bur extremely high quality fine dining experience.

I had dinner with my girlfriend at Da Terra this week. We are both very impressed by the food. Chef Rafael Cagali is very creative. Every dish not only looks like a piece of art but also very delicious. My favoritos include Custard, The Humble Chicken, Moqueca ( a refined Brazilian fish stew) and Baba. This s a restaurant run by a chef who knows food and love cooking from heart. We would definitively go again.

What to say Truly a remarkable fine dining experience. I didn t anticipate the Brazilian influences! Thoughtful blending of technique, culture, and exotic ingredients you d never expect to encounter in London. This meal was operating at a three star level. Highly recommend. You may encounter some challenging carnivore courses, so if you re picky, let them know in advance.

Absolutely divine! Possibly the best food I have ever had - each dish was an explosion of flavours and the service was excellent. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience - looking forward to our next visit!

Food was very very good. You could tell that the dishes were highly complex and technical, and were very creative. Massive kudos to the chef and his team. Would definitely return for the food. However, the service was a little bit off. The servers (not the chefs), some of them, didn t quite match the setting of the place (which was spectacular from inside). They felt they didn t quite belong in a 2 star place. The sommelier wasn t particularly helpful either, felt she was more focused on ploughing us with bottles of wine, rather than being genuinely helpful. And, given the above, I would say the place was a bit overpriced too (particularly given its location also in E2). But the food and the chef are excellent. And the setting from inside is beautifully done.

Such a fantastic tasting menu from chef Rafael. We skipped the wine pairing and did a glass of white and a bottle of red but only because we had had enough white wine recently to last a lifetime. Upon seeing it another table however it looked very interesting: roses, orange wine, even a beer, and not small pours - next time maybe.

One of my most enjoyed dining experiences. Obviously its a great treat to eat here but if you do have the opportunity it is an experience beyond any other. It was wonderful to meet Rafael and the rest of his team. Rafael even introduced the Moqueca

Amazing! Some dishes were just ingenious, definitely worth the stop

It was good. The food quality was monotonic across dishes. So even quality was kept high by the 6th dish you get accustomed to and it doesnt feel special anymore. Fixing that would put the restaurant to 3 stars not 2. Also at the beginning of the night staff doing rounds about tables were too noticeable due to lack of background noise (not sure how to fix that as you want to keep the attention to detail they had). Chefs rotating between dishes to bring to the table was a nice touch.

My spouse and I were in london for a week and decided to celebrate our anniversary here. Excited to try it given the two star award. Old Cafe feel with the interior, a relaxed warmth that you sometimes dont get in fine dining restaurants. We were given arguably the best table in the entire restaurant, with a direct view into the kitchen. Service was very good and prompt as expected. The courses were very, very good. I cannot isolate a single course that was weaker than others if Im being transparent. The humble chicken was probably my favorite, really putting together different parts of chicken together creatively. The head chef, Rafael, presented several courses himself which was very refreshing to see. Would definitely recommend, and would likely go for a second time it the opportunity presented itself. If Im going to nitpick anything, the timing of courses were a bit slow, just long enough to notice really. And secondly, the neighborhood felt a bit skittish walking around midnight.

We were given a meal at Da Terra as our wedding gift from family. A very special experience all round. The ambience of the restaurant is lovely and it was a joy to watch the chefs at work in the open kitchen. Its an extremely slick operation and all of the people that work there were professional, friendly and passionate about what they do. The tasting menu was amazing, my husband went for the alcoholic drinks pairing and I had the non alcoholic drinks pairing. I thought having this option was a really nice touch for those that are not drinking and it meant you could still get involved and try some really unusual and tasty drinks. Without a doubt one of the best (if not the best) tasting menu experiences Ive had! Dietary restrictions: They cater for lots of dietary requirements including pescatarian and pregnancy

Like the atmosphere there. Nice dishes, great fusion with Brazilian ingredients. it was a nice and special experience to me and my friend. However a Asian waiter got a long face n poor service all the time, we felt not very comfortable about it.

Came to London for a week. Made a few reservations and have eaten around the world Wow, Da Terra is Absolutely genius. Mind blowing cuisine. Photos do not do it justice. This is world class food artistry bravo! Kudos as well to Alex our server who is wonderful and Charlie the manager as well. Great people.

A menu of 9 dishes, each bite very good. Except one that contains caviar. The service in the room was excellent, as was Rafael and his team who demonstrated the dishes. The location seemed strange to me, since it is in a very remote area.

lovely dining experience, foods are tasty , service was attentive, dishes were small but not a problem for us, enjoyable

The food is exquisite and absolutely unique. The only comment would be about the music - its a bit random and nice chill jazz would suit the atmosphere better I think

Absolutely great

Great experience! Definitely worth Michelin 2 stars. Every dish was modern, delicious, and beautiful. Love the creativity and flavors; incorporation of Brazilian ingredients. The service was great, and liked that chef Cagali came to serve and interact with us. The restaurant is understated yet calm. We got to sit near the kitchen, which was very nice. I would highly recommend. You certainly wont be disappointed.

Well executed, attentive staff, powerful flavours at good value. Worth going.

When a restaurant achieves 2 michellin stars in 2 years, you know theyve got something good going on. It was one of the best dining experiences Ive had. Rafas innovative, playful and just downright tasty dishes were a joy. Service, bloody attentive. Wine, great recommendations. Blind tasting menu, brilliant. And although the 10 course tasting menu took 3hrs, timing between courses was perfect. Recommended to anyone who lives to eat, wants an experience or just wants great food. I will certainly return.

Fantastic experience from start to Finnish. Easily deserving of its 2 Michelin stars. We all Enjoyed every course. Also it was awesome to have some interaction and conversation with Raphael the owner and chef. In a nutshell if you enjoy fine dining this is a must. If you don t this is the gateway.

There are no words to really do justice to how beautiful the balance of the dishes is, how delicate yet deep the flavors are and how exquisite the wines in the pairing taste. An unforgettable experience that made my 30th birthday very special.

Book your table! We had a very special meal at Da Terra. The food is both very inventive telling a story and just really really tasty. One of the best restaurants we have been to in London. If you don t drink alcohol, they have a fantastic drinks pairing which is very inventive and impressive in terms of pairing with the food.

Obviously the chef didn t want to give menus for a reason, so I will not ruin the surprise. Needless to say, it was a fantastic experience, totally enjoyable! The signature dish Moqueca, served personally by Chef Rafael Cagali, was exquisite even with such high expectations. The exotic touch of dende oil & pickled cumari gave it that extra special touch. All courses were extremely elegant in taste & in presentation. Such good decision to go for the wine pairing. Obviously Beverage Mgr Alvin Luk put a lot of thought behind these pairings. Again not to give away any surprises, the choice of a local pale ale was a surprisingly huge success, even though we ve heard about it and was a bit sceptical before. Beer & bread is a classic but the fact that it went so well with the accompanying bone marrow was a treat! Visited the nearby brewery directly after! There was the red for the meat dish; 5 grape varieties but the uniqueness was the unusual blend! All in all, very clever pairings & overall a very fun & exciting experience! Highly recommended!

Amazing food, great presentation of food and wine!

Wow, wow, wow. Speechless. What a meal! By far the best dining experience I ve had in London. The intricacy of the dishes, the flavour combinations and the amazing service made this one of the most memorable meals we ve had in the UK (and beyond). We had the tasting menu and it was so worth it. The staff was very friendly, the ambiance was not stuffy (despite it being a 2 star Michelin star restaurant) and I literally cried after I left. It was that special. Would definitely recommend coming here!

It is completely blind tasting menu, you don t know what the chef is going to serve you which is what I like about this restaurant. I am surprised by the wonderful dishes the chef has to serve. Although I cannot remember all the dishes on top of my head but in summary for lunch menu: Amuse-bouche, cheese tomato cold soup, hot bread with bone marrow sauce and three variety butter, fish moqueca coconut sauce, lamb meat and finish with sheep cheese milk ice cream and finish with corn puff pastry. Really good service, attentive staff serving water to our table and really feeling the service required. One thing which I did not like was the open kitchen concept where I could smell the cooking smoke from the kitchen. It can be quite stuffy when there are lots of tables in the room. Perhaps an open plan but covered up with glass doors might help. Overall still good for 2 michelin star restaurant.

Absolutely amazing. Best meal I ve had in London. The tasting menu was great from start to end. Every dish is always very elegant, thoughtful and tasty. Hard to pick a favorite but some of my favorites are the fish, the lamb and the cheese course. The service was great always warm and friendly. The open kitchen also gives you a peek into the workings of the chefs. Truly amazing would comeback for sure

Totally blew us out the park. An amazing tasting menu. So random and SO totally brilliant. The wine pairing was just as random but wow such an amazing selection. Kudos to the sommelier, excellent choices. Loved the way each and every member of staff were included in the evening. A restaurant that 100% needs to be visited. The Chef is the most creative one Ive experienced yet.

Absolutely a new favourite in London.. mind blowing 2 Michelin star menu in fact its better than a few 3 star restaurants I ve been to in London. I usually dislike surprise menus, but the blind tasting menu here is sublime and unforgettable. Impeccable standard and attention to details on the quality of ingredients used, from the home preserved garlic capers on the chicken dish, to the 40year aged balsamic vinegar on the dessert to compliment the sweetness of the sorbet. Each dish is so beautifully presented and well explained, simply faultless.

We had an absolutely incredible dinner at Da Terra. We did the 10-course tasting menu with wine pairing and I couldnt fault a single dish we had. Everything was exciting and surprising, with amazing flavours and carefully curated combinations. The service was also excellent with friendly staff who were passionate about the food and wines. Whats more, we had the best seat in the house and were able to watch into the kitchen. It was a true glimpse into a masterfully run restaurant - everyone was so calm and focused on what they were doing, with the head chef overseeing everyone and pitching in wherever he was needed without any hint of ego. Our visit to Da Terra was one of the best restaurant experiences Ive ever had and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special dining experience.

Exceptional service and food with creative ingredients. My partner and I went for their full 10 course tasting menu for our anniversary dinner and they did not disappoint. It s such a s ahem that I had overestimated myself being stuffed by the 5th course. Honestly, wouldn t be surprise if they achieve a 3rd star soon. Staffs were knowledgeable and thoughtful, we enjoyed the open kitchen as we felt they were transparent and could really see the teamwork going on in running the establishment. Would definitely return for another special occasion. By far my favourite is the sheep yogurt with 40 years aged balsamic vinegar, and scallop with frozen marigold leaves.

Da terra left us speechless. We were almost sad when the meal ended! The food was impeccable, the atmosphere simple and tasteful but never stuffy, and the staff were so friendly. We appreciated the great attention to detail, as well as the crazy explosions of flavor. One of the best in London. Thank you!

Brilliantly conceived and cooked tasting menu with a great non-alcoholic drinks pairing. Dishes are really delicate and complex, take time to savour them.

Fantastic experience. Service was excellent with an element of theater. The Chef visited our table on several occasions to personally talk about the food and its origins. Food was excellent and fully justified the two Michelin stars the restaurant has been awarded. The one niggle I have is the extra charge for coffee. I think this could be included in the set price of the menu.

An amazing experience! The food is incredible and the stuff extremely professional. Long menu took 2h from start to finish. These are some of the dishes.

An exciting and very enjoyable experience. Old town hall, perfectly organized service and stylish interior create an artistic setting accompanied by 80-s playlist. Every dish perfectly fits the atmosphere and feels like a scene displayed in front of you on the table, with most dishes consisting of several elements spread on the table. The food was an exciting introduction to Brazilian cuisine to me, with most dishes bringing something new and unique to my personal experience, and others just being quite good and enjoyable.

Simply perfect. Nice atmosphere (open kitchen with very smooth and quiet operation - a fine tuned orchestra to watch), very friendly waiters/somelier, etc. All the courses were incredibly delicious, well crafted, wonderfully looking. A real sensation from start to finish and the best Michelin awarded food we ever had anywhere.

Had an amazing experience here. The service, food, drinks and atmosphere were all amazing. We had the long tasting menu, which lasted about 2.5hrs. The atmosphere is really relaxed for such a nice place, it really takes the edge off would could have quite easily been a very pretentious vibe. A truly delicious and memorable evening.

Fantastic!! Well worth it, very very good!
