Da Terra at Town Hall Hotel in Tower Hamlets

La Terra Un Nuevo Bar , una Nueva Cocina y Nuevos platos en el menú todo hecho para otra increíble experiencia gastronómica en la Terra. Nos dieron una cálida bienvenida a la llegada antes de ser acompañados al bar que es ahora donde comenzará su almuerzo / cena. Aquí podrá relajarse con un cóctel o una copa de champán mientras disfruta de deliciosos aperitivos y una charla con el equipo. Luego será llevado al comedor reformado y verá la nueva cocina. Tomamos asiento en nuestra mesa 10 habitual y esperamos a que comenzaran las festividades. Primero fue una charla con la mejor sumiller María para discutir nuestra preferencia por el vino. Ahora era el momento para el Nuevo primer plato e impresionante que iba a ser. El Hamachi Calabaza / Jackfruit / Tucupi era absolutamente delicioso. Esto fue seguido por la Codorniz , Tortellini en Brodo / Trufa Negra , Masa Madre , La Moqueca antes de la llegada del asombroso Nuevo plato principal. El británico Wagyu Beef , Cep / Cavolo Nero / Lobster Rice personalmente pensé que era el plato destacado del día. El siguiente en venir fue el Romeo y Juliette (plato de queso) , el Baba antes de terminar con el Nuevo postre de Higo , Yogur de Oveja / Sagu / Oxalis. Terminamos con café y petit fours para traer y terminar una tarde fabulosa. La comida era impresionante, los maridajes de vinos eran increíbles y el servicio era de primera clase. El New Bar es una gran adición y un lugar maravilloso para disfrutar de un aperitivo o digestivo. La nueva cocina se ve fabuloso y ahora se obtiene una excelente vista de todo el equipo en el trabajo. Rafael , Charlie y el equipo han estado continuamente empujando hacia adelante cada año en la búsqueda de la perfección absoluta y personalmente algo que creo que no está lejos. Muchas Gracias a todo el equipo por una experiencia gastronómica increíble y esperamos verlos a todos pronto.

Estábamos enfermos y tuvimos que cancelar la reserva. Cancelamos con 36 horas de antelación (el día anterior, a primera hora de la mañana). Nunca he oído hablar de un restaurante que cobre el 100% del precio del menú (unos 600 dólares) por una cancelación tan anticipada. Quizás por no presentarse, pero no por tanto aviso. Es extractivo (muy por encima de sus costes) e impropio de un Michelin de dos estrellas.

Comida excepcional para mi primera experiencia Michelin de dos estrellas. Los sabores de la comida fueron excepcionales con influencias de la cocina brasileña (que mi invitado brasileño estaba sin duda en el cielo) Visita la Terra tan pronto como puedas ya que es una joya. Gracias Chef por la comida.

Una velada excepcional, comida y servicio increíbles, el chef Rafael vino a servir la comida varias veces durante el menú degustación

Great place for upscale dining. The food is complex and delicious. Lots of skill from their chefs. The restaurant is beautiful as well.

Lovely place to eat. Such a wonderful meal at a splendid restaurant. The food is not only delicious but also well presented. Magical experience here.

The restaurant is beautiful and the design is amazing. The food and drinks are great. Everything was delicious and well presented.

Fantastic upscale dining. Really like the short rib, chicken, cannelloni, scallops and turbot. The wine selection was excellent too. The ambiance of the restaurant is amazing.

Perfect example of a upscale, Michelin-starred restaurant worth paying for. Innovative, unfussy cuisine, exceptional service, and great presentation. Really worth a visit.

The town hall hotel is a stunning spot, dropped by the bar for an aperitif and the welcome was warm and cozy, friendly but not overbearing. Upon entering Da Terra Canapes flew out and bombarded you with intense deep flavours that made you really sit back and think about life. The new quail dish (3 months in the making) was exquisite served in four different ways. blown away and don't even get me started on the sourdough bread The olive oil "butter" no dairy showed technical precision and used in conjunction with the bone marrow was a cheat code. The signature moqueqa ticked all the boxes and I loved the additional Brazilian chilli. The pork main left me speechless, the endive playing a huge role in that. Romeo & Juliette.... might be the best balanced dish on the planet. Pure genius as was the next dessert, never would you think pistachio and caviar on the same plate, but here you are sweet and salty in perfect harmony. The pineapple dessert also hit the spot, with a great pairing- S Africa chenin blanc sweet wine. Sets a high benchmark, spectacular and elegant service. 3* in my personal opinion sits just around the corner with a bit of luck. Thank you

Da Terra It’s been a while since I’ve been to a Michelin stared restaurant, I’ve steered myself away from fine dining scene but Da Terra has definitely put fine dining experience on back on the map for me. It all started with the warm family welcome from the entire team, I’m not talking hugs and kisses from every individual staff but its the smile of confidence, the eye contacts and the relaxed shoulders. Something you rarely see in places like these. You can tell that the team have created a sense of family environment and you are in for a treat! We booked in for a lunch tasting menu, there is no physical menu given out because it’s done in a blind tasting menu full of culinary surprises. The journey through chef Rafael Cagali’s heritage and culinary experience begins with 2 surprise bites. To be followed by the 5 course lunch tasting menu. I’d highly recommend the wine pairing with the dishes because it elevates the journey to another level of elegance. Their in house sommelier, Maria, is full of wine knowledge and is eager to share that with you through the journey. It was a very though decision to choose a favourite out of the entire menu, especially between the humble chicken and the Moqueca (traditional Brazilian fish stew) with aged Turbot. The humble chicken took the win for me because of it’s interactive, fun and eating with your hands kind of dish. The dish also has zero waste because they have used every part of the chicken in all components to the dish. The other star of the show, I must say, is the pineapple dessert! The combination between the light and airy coconut parfait, fermented pineapple juice and lemon verbena ties so well together as a finishing dish. It is fresh, cold and full of tropical flavour notes. As I have mentioned that this was by far the best fine dining experience yet for me. I would highly recommend anyone and everyone to experience what Da Terra has to offer with its unique take on the style of service and the relaxed family style atmosphere. I can guarantee that you will being leaving Da Terra more than satisfied, full of memorable moments.

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!

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.

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!

Had a wonderful evening here. Da Terra is a tasting menu concept - each dish was beautifully prepared and also explained by the team. Yes, it’s pricey (especially with the wine pairing) but definitely worth it for a special occasion . Rafael Cagali had his team have developed a wonderful restaurant and it’s great that Rafael himself comes round the tables to explain the menu and chat to diners . Highly recommend

I purchased the blind tasting menu for my partners Christmas present, we also opted for the full wine pairing on the night. We were blown away, the flavours, presentation and whole experience was incredible. This is not just food this is art. We had a fantastic table which gave us a centre stage view of the preparation. The service was fantastic and the little touches really make a difference. This is absolutely worth the money, would highly recommend and definitely do again for a special occasion.

This was my first 2 Michelin star experience and it certainly was amazing. While you might need to dig deep in the pocket, everything amazed. The service, the atmosphere but overall the food blew me away. It was theatre, entertainment and fine dining combined.

My friend and I booked Da Terra after scouring the web to choose a Michelin star restaurant. I am so glad we picked Da Terra. The food and wine flight were amazing and it was the relaxed but efficient service that struck me. We both felt at ease and really relaxed when other Michelin restaurants can give off an air and pomp and grandeur. Definitely worth every penny.

Yet again, Chef Rafael Cagali and his superb team at Da Terra have excelled and exceeded all expectations for a well crafted, unique, and flavorful meal. I was so impressed with the quality of the meal I had 18 months ago that I brought a friend to share in the experience on this trip to London. And while we also visited two 3* restaurants on this trip, we both agree, Da Terra was the best all-around meal and foodie experience. Chef Rafael’s personal attention to detail and passion for the food were evident in his frequent stops at our table to introduce a particular course and the quality of the food itself. I definitely will plan a return visit the next time I’m in London and look forward to the day Team Da Terra earns their 3rd Michelin Star—they and the food experience they create are worth it!!!

My wife and i are very lucky in that we visit a good many michelin star restaurants but we were not prepared for what Rafael had to offer….. I didn’t know if i should write a long review filled with all the incredible highs of our evening or leave it short as, i am still quite speechless and wouldn’t want to spoil anyone’s visit by giving anything away. Hands down this is the finest restaurant I have even been to. Amazing evening thank you very much
