About this restaurant

Innovative
Good for special occasions
Great for creative cocktails

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 is a great place to eat, especially for a special occasion. The food is unique and delicious, and eating there is more than a meal; it's an adventure. The waiter took time to describe the various choices, and we enjoyed every single bite. It was our anniversary, so we got a small tent card on the table with congratulations and a complimentary dessert to celebrate. It's not cheap, but it is certainly worth every penny. You can rest assured that we will return long before our next anniversary.

Brought a couple of friends along for our second visit. We all enjoyed the experience. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Tucson. Looking forward to trying the sister restaurants in future visits.

I was seated right away as a single diner at the bar. There was a space next to each grouping of bar settings so you weren’t crowded. The service was excellent and especially knowledgeable. I chose the tasting menu and each dish was so unique and delicious. The wine list by bottle was generous, with multiple price ranges. The wine list by the glass list was fairly small but still had a good range. I was celebrating my birthday and the staff made my dinner very special. The portions were large enough and I especially enjoyed the trout in buerre blanc.

Great space, delicious food. Server was a bit abrupt and rude which kept it from being excellent - hopefully a one-off. Would recommend.

Our server was great. We chose the option where the restaurant picks the menu for our table of 6. The items that they served were mostly not on the evenings menu. We all chose to be adventurous and the meal was magnificent!

Some of the best and unique food I’ve tasted in Tucson. You won’t like it if you’re expecting a plain ‘ol hamburger and fries. Ingredients on this menu are carefully selected—fresh halibut flown in overnight from the Oregon coast or from small, local farmers. Great details throughout, service is friendly, easy going, and professional. I will definitely return and bring friends.
