We were very lucky to get a table through someone cancelling as this is a gem of a restaurant.
The food was sublime thanks to an innovative chef and his team. From the tartlet with venison pastrami, the eye fillet with truffle topped rosti, the duck with a silky smooth carrot purée and the crème brûlée with rhubarb sorbet, the entire meal was a treat to the tastebuds!
A memorable meal!

We had a wonderful meal at Terra where we enjoyed the 6 course chefs section with paired wines. The food was delicious and I would highly recommend this restaurant if you’re in the area. You’ll enjoy great food and lovely views. Make sure you reserve well in advance.

Unfortunately we were disappointed in our latest visit to Terra. They didnt have the wine we chose, there was only 5 courses in the 6 course degustation menu we ordered plus a sorbet palate cleanser, which is not a course. Some food was over salted and over flavoured. the strawberry topping on our panacotta was so cold we couldnt eat it. And to top it off we were both up in middle of night with upset tummies. Didnt impress us this time, will pass in future.

We dined with family and from the moment you walk in you are looked after superbly. We opted for the six course degustation, which we would thoroughly recommend. all courses were superb and the wines, both by bottle and by glass compliment the brilliant food and service perfectly. Definitely book Terra if you like fine dining at its best. Thoroughly recommended.

Terra was utterly faultless. A very pleasant room, lovely staff, amazing menu and the food was fantastic. No problem with removing items I can’t eat, offered suggestions for alternatives and just gave us a wonderful dining experience.
