🇬🇧 Da Terra: A Michelin Star Experience That Left Me Hungry! ⭐️🍽️
📍 Da Terra, 8 Patriot Square, London E2 9NF This Bethnal Green gem promises Brazilian-Italian fusion magic with its blind tasting menu – but did it deliver? Here’s the real tea. 🕵️♀️ The Blind Tasting Gimmick ✔️ No menu until the end – like a culinary escape room ✔️ 6 “surprise” courses + 3 pre-starters (why?!) ✔️ 2.5-hour marathon with tiny portions 🌟 Standout Bites 🦐 Amazonian Prawn Tiger milk foam + crispy plantain = only memorable dish 🍞 Sourdough Bread Whipped lardo saved this course (carbs FTW) ❌ The Misses 🐟 Overcooked turbot (at £££ prices? Ouch) 🍮 Dessert that tasted like fancy baby food 💡 Honest Verdict ✔️ Service: Impeccable (but overly theatrical) ✔️ Wine pairing: Sommelier’s picks were spot-on ✔️ Value: £150pp for still feeling peckish? Hmm. 🚇 Pro Tips ✔️ Pre-game with pizza at Sodo Pizza next door ✔️ Book the chef’s counter if you want actual interaction ✔️ Skip if you dislike molecular gastronomy puzzles #MichelinLondon #DaTerra #TastingMenu #LondonFineDining #BlindDateWithFood #HitOrMiss #SmallPortions #BethnalGreenEats
