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.

  • Summer Supper Club

    $50.00 per person

    Jun 19, 2025 only
    Over the summer, we will be hosting a communal Supper Club every Thursday showcasing a prix fixe menu consisting of a starter, an entree, and dessert for each guest. Bottles of wine that we find pairs best with the menu will be offered for $50/bottle, along with our usual beverage menu. Dinner will begin at 6:30, but everyone is more than welcome to come earlier to snag some seats, grab some drinks at the bar, and mingle while you wait. The goal is to bring the Tucson community together, bond over dinner, and beat the summer heat! If you have any questions or any troubles with booking, please email brooke@batatucson.com *Pricing excludes tax and gratuity. *A vegetarian alternative will be available. All other substitutions are politely declined.

    This is such a great dining experience! This was our second time there, and I chose the restaurant for our date night based on a menu that varies, and ingredients that are locally sourced. We chose the surprise 5 course dinner, and it was a spectacular experience. The chef chose for us. I enjoyed everything except the pork pate, the hubby loved it all. My motto is: If we are going out, food better be much better than what I can make it home :-) and it must be an experience. This was amazing and can't wait to go back. The drinks were delicious as well, and the Old Fashioned was crafted to perfection!

    Family dinner for birthday celebration. Our waiter, Miguel, was an excellent guide. Found ourselves enjoying an eclectic blend of interesting flavor combinations. Especially enjoyed the tune crude and Labne.

    overall great night, but the fact that both of my wines needed to be chilled and took some time to find is a little disappointing. I totally get limited space, maybe a disclaimer at the bottom that all wines are cellar temp would be nice. Also, why don't you give shareware if we are suppose to share? Spoons are nice when there are brothy items and we had to ask.

    AN our server was a delight. He was knowledgable about the food, very attentive, without being annoying he had a great personality. . The food was wonderful. Not your typical dining. We chose the chefs choice. The chef curated a unique menu but not outrageous . Each ingredient shined. Each dish was excellent! We will definitely return ! .

    Disclaimer: we LOVE Bata! Have visited many times. They do amazing flavors and textures with all kinds of vegetables and proteins and things we've never heard of. We look forward to our next visit and any more. That said...this time there were a few things that were slightly off - still tasty but not up to Bata's usual level of perfection. The malawach is always great but this time it was a little thick and greasy. We also ordered the fish and although the sauce was excellent, the fish itself was overcooked and a bit dry. You had to like mushrooms -- maybe love mushrooms? - because they were in many of the dishes. The wine list has gotten more...accessible? I enjoyed my French chardonnay. Thank you Bata for bringing a wonderful culinary experience to downtown Tucson! See you again in July.

    BataResponded on June 6, 2025
    Hi Tom! We would love to have you back any time to try more of our creations! Great service is always our goal, so we are thrilled to hear you felt as such. The Cactus Cru team makes some pretty cool (and delicious) Arizona wine- we love supporting local. Thank you for coming in and for the kind words, we hope to see you again soon! Cheers, Brooke (General Manager)
