Bata is a restaurant designed to celebrate the best our region has to offer. We cook over a live oak fire, on our custom fabricated hearth. Our menu changes daily. We mill AZ grown grain in house, daily. We focus on whole animal butchery, done in house. We have an extensive fermentation program. Our bar program largely focuses on wines that are organic, biodynamic, and produced with minimal intervention. The cocktail list highlights the best products of the season, with a carefully curated list of spirits from across the globe. We believe that our hospitality is just as important as the food and beverages we put on the table.

We do not encourage our restaurant for young children. We do not have any highchairs in house and ask that you please bring your own if it is required.

We do not offer any outdoor seating. Private dining, kitchen counter and large party seating available. Email hello@batatucson.com for inquiries.

    We celebrated my husband’s 82nd birthday at Bata. It was terrific! Food and wine were excellent and and inventive; we were greeted with “Happy Birthday,” and the birthday greetings continued throughout the evening. My husband ordered port with dessert and learned that there was no port; he was presented with a complimentary glass of delicious Madeira along with a complimentary dessert (embellished with “Happy Birthday “ on the plate.) Our waitperson was delightful throughout. Thank you, Bata!

    This restaurant is a true GEM. Possibly the best dining experience ever, at least of the last decade. The quality of the ingredients, the care given to preparation and presentation were five star. From the “vibe” or feel of the entire restaurant, it’s clear and obvious that an immense amount of thinking, wisdom and collaboration has gone into this creation.

    Everything was great except waiting 40 min to have someone notice us. We had to ask the host to find our waiter.

    Bata is a world class restaurant! My favorite place to go on a date night, impress out of town guests, and enjoy a lovely dinner. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and exceptional at their overall service. Will be a forever customer of Bata!

    The most delicious and unusual meal in Tucson . Some dishes on the menu are hard to imagine, so ask your server to describe possible combinations. They are very well informed, and the results are mind boggling!

    We chose to let them choose what we had and so glad that we did. I would not have selected some of what we were served, but it was all great and expanded my future range of options. I didn’t think I could eat dessert, but the intensely chocolate sorbet convinced me otherwise.
