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.

This was our first visit to Bata and right from the start, I felt that we were in for a treat. We started with the aged beef and pork bites, getting 2, one for each of us. They were delicious. Malawach came next with cured egg yolk jam. It was completely delicious! We had the beef tartare with rye toast crisps and jardinere, we devoured it. Next came the pork carnitas which was in poblano miso sauce with pickled onions. The pork was tender and the sauce was thick and savory. The pickled onions added a nice cut to the richness of the dish. We ended with the grilled squash in a red curry with a som salad accompanying it. Amazing! We were too full for dessert. It was ALL SO GOOD!! We will definitely go back.

We both chose the let them choose 5 plate meal. It was a good amount of food without being overwhelming. We really enjoyed it. We sat at the bar and both bartenders kept us informed about each plate and our drinks. We always enjoy Bata and this time was no different.

I ordered the 3 course meal expecting it to be good with perhaps one menu item being exceptional. ALL were EXCEPTIONAL. Having had the privilege of traveling and dining globally, I would rate this meal the best of any I've experienced. Service was superb.

We didn’t get our table until over 1 hour after our reservation time. They kept giving us the run around. However once we got seated, our waiter was amazing! Always very attentive and he apologized for the delay of everything. They even brought out dishes which were on the house, to make up for this delay.
