Elegant Dining at Its Finest

A two MICHELIN star restaurant in the heart of Bethnal Green, London. Born on the idea of where we come from — our roots.

About Us

Born on the idea of where we come from; our roots. It’s the relationships with the soil, nature, the knowledge, and the people that bring us together. Da Terra sits within a Victorian building. In contrast to its exterior, it has quite an understated, modern look offering an elegant and relaxed dining experience located in the heart of Bethnal Green.

Rafael Cagali’s experimental cuisine is inspired by the flavours of his origins and influences of his culinary
experiences throughout his career. It is through serendipity that his first solo venture is partnering with Paulo
Airaudo to open Da Terra Restaurant.

Opening in January of 2019, after 8 months and followed by hard work and dedication, Da Terra Gained its first MICHELIN star. Following a very eventful 2020, we were then awarded our second star in the MICHELIN guide of
2021.

Growing in his career he decided to go to Spain to work for Chef Quique Dacosta and Martin Berasategui. From there, he returned back to England to join The Fat Duck by Heston Blumenthal to then opening Fera at Claridges. Leading the Aulis in Fera, Rafael carried on with Simon Rogan as head chef of Aulis.
