Da Terra Restaurant at Town Hall Hotel
A brilliantly unstuffy, two-Michelin-starred experience that blends Brazilian heritage with playful, world-class fine dining to the tune of an 80s soundtrack.
Ordering Strategy
Da Terra serves a strict blind tasting menu (with a shorter, slightly cheaper format available for lunch). There are no choices to make—just settle in for a 3-hour culinary journey and let the kitchen lead the way.
What to order
Moqueca
Rafael Cagali's 'fiendishly reinvented' traditional fish stew is an elegant highlight, featuring aged brill, manteiguinha beans, and farofa in a 'frothy coconut sauce' with 'fiery and fruity' biquinho chillies on the side.
Wagyu Sirloin with Lobster Rice
A standout substantial course that demonstrates 'ingredients-first techniques,' pairing rich wagyu with savory lobster rice, hen of the woods mushrooms, and cavolo nero.
Rum Baba with Caviar
A 'cross-cultural slant' on a classic dessert, using Brazilian cachaça and pistachio ice cream; critics love how the salt from the 'generous dollop' of N25 Reserve caviar cuts through the sweetness like a 'twist on salted caramel.'
Stout and Scallop Pastry Cup
An 'exquisite snack' consisting of a tiny, friable pastry cup made with stout, filled with a delicate combination of scallop roe, mousse, and tiny diced scallop.

Good to know
Located behind a black curtain inside a former town hall. Arrive early to enjoy the generous pre-dinner snacks served in the retro, mid-century lounge. Don't expect stiff service; the staff are chatty and the playlist leans heavily into upbeat 80s classics like the Eurythmics and Talking Heads.
