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.

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 won't be disappointed.

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.

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.

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

There could not have been a much better way to get my 2022 Michelin Star year up and running than with an absolutely fabulous lunch at Da Terra. The food with some new dishes and redesigned old ones was amazing , the wine pairings from sommelier Maria were perfect and the service was impeccable as always. We’ve had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant from the beginning three years ago through to the two michelin stars they have now but I would have to say that this visit just about tops them all. On saturday we arrived at Bethnal Green station and took the short walk to the town hall where you will find Da Terra. A warm welcome awaited from Jasmin before she escorted us to our now customary Table 10. Once seated over came manager Charlie for a nice chat and to offer us a complimentary glass of bubbles to welcome us back. Now to the menu where there is a choice of three tasting menu’s to which we opted for the long ten course. We started things of with the fabulous and refreshing amuse bouche called the Caipirinha based on the brazilian cocktail. This led us to a selection of snacks that were simply delicious. A Cod Croquette , Beef Tacos , Taleggio Doughnut and a fabulous New Scallop Cup. Before we moved onto our first course it was time to select some wine to pair with the menu and I have to say that sommelier Maria came up with an absolute beauty. The Robert Sinskey 2016 Pinot Noir from the Napa Valley in California was light and fruity and just a sublime pairing. So now to start the menu of we enjoyed a stunning Arctic Char with houghton springs , courgette & tucupi. This was followed by the Custard with mussel , sake kasu , trout roe , seaweed and accompanied with sea lettuce crackers that was easily one of the best dishes I’ve eaten at Da Terra. Next to arrive was the famous Chicken which had been revamped and personally I thought it was the best version to date. It came with wings , liver , feet , egg yolk & onion. Now it was time for the Bread course featuring sourdough along with bone marrow and three types of butter. This led us to the Moqueca a fantastic brazilian fish stew with wild turbot , palm heart & farofa and accompanied with chillies to just add a little heat to the dish. We now moved to the meat dishes which started with the fabulous Raviolo of duck , whey , watercress and smoked duck charcuterie. Then it was time for the Hereford Short Rib with crosnes , cassava , chimichurri and heavenly veal sweetbread salad. These were just another two superlative dishes to add to what we’d enjoyed throughout our lunch. Next to arrive was the cheese course called Romeo and Juliette with a goat’s cheese topped with a guava gel and a fennel cracker. This led us to the Baba with cahaca , pistachio and kaluga before finishing with the dessert of Yorkshire Forced Rhubarb with coconut and twenty five year old balsamic. I have to say the addition of coconut really enhanced this dessert to the next level. We finished with coffee , petit fours and a digestive from their drinks trolley to bring to end another outstanding visit to Da Terra. The food under the inspiration of Rafael , Mark and all the team with the combination of new and revamped dishes was simply stunning. The wine pairings from sommelier Maria were a absolute delight and the service led by manager Charlie was first class. A visit to this restaurant really is a must especially with it’s brazilian influence that your unlikely to experience anywhere else. I really can’t wait to plan my next visit. Thank You Rafael , Charlie , Mark , Maria and all the team for a truly fabulous dining experience and look forward to seeing you all again soon.

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.

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. It's 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.

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.

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 🙏🏼

We came to Da Terra for dinner on 8th November and honestly I was blown away. The restaurant was clearly fully booked but everything was perfectly executed! They have an open kitchen area and we happened to be seated with the best view which was a little bit like torture as we saw all the beautiful dishes being prepared and were left guessing which would come to our table - but eventually they all did :) The staff were friendly and expert with table service but I still felt that the dish and wine introductions were very personal. The owners were hands on and described their inspiration on several dishes; their enthusiasm for their art was clear. I've been to many fine dining restaurants, not all of which I would recommend but you have to try this place!

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.

A wonderful tasting menu experience, fusing Latin American & Italian flavours with an extra side of fun! Every dish was a delight with exceptional yet effortless service! Wine pairings highly recommended! Perfect for a special occasion or just a treat - we spent 4.5 hours here without even noticing the time!

Excellent meal and service at the restaurant. Good to see Raphael in action and Antonio in service.

Amazing evening of incredible food and wine. Highly recommended for interesting and creative dishes and leave you wanting more. Rafael was terrific in making sure the dishes suited any dislikes etc whilst still delivering amazing flavours that still challenged and an enticed the tastebuds

We enjoyed a fantastic meal at Da Terra, opting for the eight course tasting menu, with the flight of wine. The decor was warm, modern, spacious and smart and the ambience friendly and informal while also ensuring the five-star experience. The meal was a piece of theatre, prepared in an open kitchen and each dish presented by the passionate team of chefs. Presentation was beautiful and playful without being pretentious (note the Lego scuba diver served with our Isle of Mull Scallop first course). The food was beautifully cooked. Highlights for me were the Scallop, Stracciatella/Tomato Panzanella/Basil, and the Pork Belly. The team are also very accommodating of any food intolerances or preferences. The wine pairings worked perfectly, presented by the charismatic sommelier. Modest measures used but this does ensure you're not too booze-addled to enjoy the flavours of the meal! Thanks for a brilliant evening, team. That Michelin star is very well deserved.

Have been to many 1 and 2 Michelin Star places in London and this sits in the absolute first tier - definitely at 2 star level. Every single dish was excellent with spectacular combinations of textures and flavours. The staff is extremely attentive and personable at the same time and the chef hands on and a pleasure to talk to. Go to this place - it is more than worth it!

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!

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

Food was superb. Not cheap but quality and flair in abundance justifies the price. Particularly impressed with the pistachio, blackberry and balsamic desert. Bread course was also to die for. Setting is relaxed and friendly.

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.

Amazing bar with excellent wine/cocktails selection and service! Rest assure, Eugenio, the sommelier of DaTerra, will make sure to recommend the best pairing for your food. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxed evening with drinks at a classy venue with incredible cichetti food at affordable prices. We went to the DaTerra bar on Tuesday which was perfect because it was super quiet. The bar is located separate to the restaurant, which creates a completely different ambience for more chill and casual gatherings. The unique and fantastic thing about DaTerra's Bar is that the tapas and snacks are nothing like classic bar food, its quality and flavour is impressive and at great value of money.

Big surprise. Fun and creative tasting menu. Attentive and friendly staff.

We went for lunch post covid-19 restaurant lockdown being lifted. Rafael Cagali and the team at Da Terra went above and beyond to make the meal feel intimate yet following social distancing. The food was incredible. Flavoursome. Impeccable presented and the whole meal felt like an orchestra of 🇧🇷 influenced dishes

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.

The best tasting menu I’ve had for some years. Incredible food and wine and a really charming team. Really wonderful

Outrageously brilliant food and the best service I’ve had at any restaurant, ever. And miraculously unpretentious too. Just great.

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!!!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Went to London for a weekend and had one of the most amazing experiences ever in this restaurant. Although very small, I feel that it was intimate. It gives those who decide to come here a chance to go on a food journey whether it be for lunch or joining them for dinner. Everyone in that kitchen and front of house is well trained and knowledgeable. I enjoyed every course and also the selection available when you choose to do a wine pairing as well. Be prepared to spend good coin though. Well worth it in my opinion.

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

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

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 didn't 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 wasn't the one for me. The liquor was too bitter and the caviar added an overly salty flavour. The flavours were rather unusual. There wasn't 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!

We visited Da Terra bar last Tuesday and had a great time. We ordered a couple of small plates and the Sommelier recommended an amazing Chardonnay from Valencia as pairing. Wow! Definitely going back for after office treats!

Highly recommend this place

One of the best meals I had. The sample menu online doesn't described what we had at all, it's well too simple. The food combination here is interesting, innovative and surprisingly tasty, I especially like the savoury taste dessert. Definitely will come back again.

Amazing tasting experience if you choose the 11 course menu. Each dish is an absolute explosion of flavours and it’s very well presented. Panzanella, halibut, pork are world class courses as well as the cod canapé served at the beginning of the meal. The restaurant atmosphere is also cool and I can say the same about the staff.

amazing food. Great staff. really enjoyable experience

2nd visit to Da Terra. Our first visit was before lockdown in March 2020. The food was excellent before, but the tweaks made to the dishes since then have made the food even better! Wonderful service, happy staff, good selection of wines and after dinner drinks. This is top notch fine dining in East London!

So nice to be able to get back out to restaurants again and go back to Da Terra for a little treat. Rafael and his team were at the door to greet us (with masks of course) in the old council town hall with original stone, tile and wood features on what was previously a typing room. Their already socially distant table layout (they didn't need to change much) was ready to welcome us. We've eaten here before a few times and the taster menu continues to evolve but doesn't fail to please. Old favorites alongside some new (they've had time to come up with some new ideas) bringing some more inspiration from Brazil with a contemporary finesse and a little education of cuisine we may not be familiar with. Here's a little picture of the Caipirinha foam welcome before kicking off the menu. Go!

Every single dish was absolutely delicious!

We had the long tasting menu with wine pairing. Food, presentation, service, pairings...everything was great from start to finish. Thank you Chef Raphael and the team!

Have been to many 1 and 2 Michelin Star places in London and this sits in the absolute first tier - definitely at 2 star level. Every single dish was excellent with spectacular combinations of textures and flavours. The staff is extremely attentive and personable at the same time and the chef hands on and a pleasure to talk to. Go to this place - it is more than worth it!

Sooo much food for such a good price. Everything was so tasty and the staff were really friendly. Definitely my new favourite Greek spot!!

What a adventure today first trip to London since lockdown. Felt totally safe.What an experience food and service absolutely superb. Some of the highlights were the chicken and the parfait was the best ever. Brazilian fish stew and the goats cheese course was fantastic. I could not fault any course.

I just finished my meal at Da Terra and I have to say it is one of the best restaurants in London. I've been to many Michelin starred restaurants in this city and many others and this really is right up there. My friend and I opted for the 10 course menu and they managed to deliver every course to a very high standard. This is not easy with 10 courses so I really have to compliment the chef for such an excellent job.

An absolutely amazing meal, where every mouthful brought a smile to your face. It's so clever, so tasty and such fun. Possibly the best meal we've ever had.

It was a pleasure to continue my support to the hospitality industry when yesterday I returned once more to Da Terra in Bethnal Green. This I'm glad to say was my fifth time here and although as we know things are a little different at the moment it was just as memorable as our previous visits. We arrived on saturday and received the usual great welcome from Chef Rafael , Manager Charlie and the rest of the team. We then sanitized our hands before being escorted to our usual table. All the staff were wearing face masks and this time the menu's were already placed on the tables along with the wine list. There was plenty of space between the tables allowing the staff to be able to move around freely.

Amazing experience - from start till the very end!

Creative, delicious dishes beautifully presented. Opt for the wine (or maybe it's not all wine...) flight.

What an amazing restaurant. Really flavoursome courses and a flair for presentation. A real find and worth a visit.

Great service, amazing food and very, very friendly staff.

Ate here in October and had one of the most memorable meals in... well, since I can remember. Certainly the most well balanced tasting menu since I ate at Dabbous four years’ ago. Not that I eat them more than two or three times a year, but so often multi course menus are a succession of dishes that are highly accomplished but leave you feeling like you’ve downed a pint of cream on a dare. You’re feel quite pleased with what you’ve just done, but have no desire to repeat it. Not so at Da Terra, the whole experience couldn’t be faulted (bar an initial delay getting anyone to take our drinks order). Excellent wine list with plenty of reasonably priced bottles. We would have been back this week for my birthday. I do hope they survive the crisis.

We enjoyed the blind tasting menu very much, pairing selection was interesting, the food was unique and absolutely wonderful!!!

Absolutely amazing food, service, everything!! Every course had so much going on like a piece of artwork and so delicious!

Quite simply, an amazing dinner experience. Delicious, fresh, blind tasting menu. Service top notch. The visuals, the smells, the tastes, an epic food journey. Thank you.

Very good and delicious and very tasty. The presentation is impeccable. We can see the kitchen full the table which I find very endearing. The service was excellent as well!

Absolutely delicious food and well accomodating for a coeliac. Unfortunately, we received poor service throughout the night, regularly had to ask for wine to be topped up (we didn't have access to the bottle) and there was no consistency in the length of time it took courses to come out. In total we were at the restuarant for over 4 hours. The staff were polite but didn't offer much in the way of an explanation.

Wow exceptional cooking... All the dishes were a work of art and tasted wonderful. Dessert was excellent... And petit fours was a great wow to finish

This was one of the best dining experience I’ve ever had. Fantastic food, creative and tasty!

Customer service is epic, not just the manager but also the chefs that come over to explain you the dishes, and the food was mind blowing! Wine choices from the somelier were spot on. From all the experience our favourite dishes were the bow marrow and the pork belly. Definitely coming back!!
