Maré by Rafael CagaliMaré by Rafael Cagali

'Maré' translates to 'tide' in Portuguese, reflecting the ever-changing seasonality of the cooking at this neighbourhood restaurant from the acclaimed chef behind London's Da Terra. The beautiful interior is sleek and modern, while the cooking draws on influences from Cagali's Brazilian roots, along with forays into the Mediterranean, Mexico and Japan. Sharing is encouraged, although you'll be loath to give up any of the signature 'baba au cachaça'. Service is warm, genial and caring, with many dishes delivered by the chefs.
