A visit a while ago to another of my favourite London restaurants, @daterrarestaurant . I truly believe that along with @solasoho , @theritzlondon , @kitchentable1 , @ikoyi_london , @alexdillingcaferoyal and @claudebosiatbibendum , this is one of the best restaurants in London. It’s interesting to note that all these one and two Michelin star restaurants are (IMO) head and shoulders out classing any of London’s three star restaurants. Again that’s very much just my own personal opinion. Da Terra is very highly recommended and you should definitely head over to Bethnal Green and try chef @rafacagali Rafael Cagali’s Brazilian and Italian influenced cuisine.

Another visit to @daterrarestaurant back in June. It just keeps getting better and better. Well deserved of it's two Michelin stars. I've had many lesser three star experiences.
@rafacagali is really going from strength to strength. Highly recommended.

Chef @elcordobesss teamed up with Rafael Cagali whom he worked with at The Fat Duck to create this new restaurant in a former Town Hall in East London. They draw from their Argentinian and Brazilian heritage but combine it with modern flavours and techniques. Da Terra is not a London outpost of Amelia in San Sebastian as Rafael is his own man when it comes to creating the tasting menu which is the only thing available in a short or longer version.
Of course there is the famous chicken, the only obvious import from San Sebastian. The skin being waver thin and crispy but with an umami explosion on the palate. Other notable dishes were the scallop, prepared like an ceviche with fennel and Granny Smyth apples and the Hampshire duroc pig which Rafael served with condiments from his native Brazil. The bouquet of herbs together with the Farofa with chillis complemented the main ingredients excellently.
A big surprise was the first dessert, a Rum ice cream with Oscietra caviar, who would have thought that this actually works.
All dishes have a great combination and layering of flavours, not bold but quite distinct, they are executed without any flaws and importantly they are slightly different.
The dining room is divided in two sections and the kitchen is completely open. As it is common practice now, the Chefs are serving the dishes and explain them in detail. All of this creates a really friendly atmosphere which lets you enjoy your meal.
A great addition to the London dining scene. Less

Dinner a couple of weeks ago at the newish Da Terra in London’s Bethnal Green. Partnered with Argentine chef Paul Airaudo, head chef Rafael Cagali, formerly of Simon Rogan’s Aulis and the Fat Duck, cooks “Latin American cuisine with Italian inspiration” in the East London site that used to house Nuno Mendes’s Viajante and Lee Westcott’s Typing Room.
It was a nice enough meal but nothing that really shone for me. Lovely friendly service and a great table right in front of the open kitchen. It wouldn’t surprise me if this place garners a Michelin star when the guide comes out again but at the same time it wouldn’t surprise me if it didn’t . It’s somewhere that I would be interested in revisiting in a years time to see how it has developed.
When in San Sebastián last week I also visited Paulo Airado’s michelin starred restaurant Amelia, which was a meal that I would go back for much sooner.
