Located within the historic Town Hall Hotel in Bethnal Green, Da Terra offers a refined yet personal fine dining experience that’s earned it two Michelin stars. The space is elegant and contemporary, with clean lines and warm tones that contrast beautifully with the grandeur of its Edwardian setting. A pre-dining lounge adds a relaxed start to the evening.
At the helm is Chef Rafael Cagali, whose Brazilian and Italian heritage shapes a tasting menu that’s both inventive and deeply rooted. His dishes are a blend of tradition and experimentation, drawing on his time in Brazil, Italy, and Spain. Expect artfully plated courses that evolve throughout the meal, with a strong narrative and a personal touch.
The menu is surprise-based, with options including a full tasting, a shorter version on select evenings, and a three-course lunch. Wine pairings are expertly curated to complement each dish, with a focus on originality and balance.
