The tasting menu moves through Brazilian reference points — cassava, palm heart, dendê oil, tucupi — rebuilt with French technique and Japanese restraint, so a dish reading as pirarucu with fermented cassava arrives closer to a study in acid and starch than anything folkloric. Cagali cooked at Locanda Locatelli and Le Manoir before returning to the flavours he grew up with in São Paulo, and that training shows in the plating discipline rather than in any borrowed Italian or French idiom. Two MICHELIN Stars have not slowed the kitchen down; if anything the room has gotten tighter, the pacing sharper, and the wine pairing more willing to reach for Portuguese and South American bottles nobody else on the strip is pouring. ## Menu highlights - **Pirarucu, fermented cassava, tucupi butter** £58 *tasting menu course — smoked Amazonian fish set against a sharply sour tucupi reduction* - **Palm heart, dendê oil, charred spring onion ash** £42 *tasting menu course — palm heart three ways, finished tableside with warm dendê oil* - **Suckling pig, farofa, pickled banana** £64 *tasting menu course — crisp-skinned pork over toasted cassava farofa* Rating transparency **FlightLogic expert score: 9.2/10.** Star ratings on this page are editorial composites from named FlightLogic research — not aggregated consumer submissions — unless individually marked as verified below.

[Review integrity policy](https://flightlogic.co.uk/review-integrity/) 1. ★★★★★ 5.0 Editorial sample The tucupi butter on the pirarucu course alone justifies the second star — sour, funky, nothing like the safe fine-dining Brazilian food you get elsewhere in London. — Helena Marsh · 14 March 2026 Response from Da Terra Thank you Helena — that course took eight months to get right, glad it landed. 2. ★★★★★ 5.0 Editorial sample Grew up eating farofa at my avó's table and this suckling pig course is the first version in a restaurant that actually tastes like home, just sharpened. — Thiago Bessa · 2 February 2026 ## Submit a verified dining review Consumer reviews require on-site geolocation verification or transaction proof before publication.

Book four to six weeks out for weekend counter seats; weekday tables open up with roughly two weeks' notice, though cancellations do surface on the site with 48–72 hours' warning. ### Is the tasting menu the only option at Da Terra? Yes — the nine-seat counter runs a single set tasting menu with an optional wine pairing leaning on Portuguese and South American producers; there is no à la carte alternative. ## Visit info ### Hours **Monday** Closed **Tuesday** 18:00–22:00 **Wednesday** 18:00–22:00 **Thursday** 12:00–14:00, 18:00–22:00 **Friday** 12:00–14:00, 18:00–22:30 **Saturday** 12:00–14:00, 18:00–22:30 **Sunday** Closed ### Features - Reservations accepted - Wheelchair accessible Last updated: 3 July 2026 ## Location ## More in London
