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.

    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)

    Bata certainly has its heart in the right place and we tried maybe 7 dishes last night. I must say all were interesting and an enjoyable blend of flavors. My only disappointment was the Chilean seabass which @ $42 was very minimal in portion but even more so the exterior was very dry as were the greens served with it. It appeared to be served "blackened" but they missed the mark on this. The flattened bread was great and the peach/ squash salad a delight. The ahi crudités were well presented and all the other samples were flavorful. Drinks were creative and the atmosphere was vibrant and busy. We will be back - be prepared to spend some money.

    Hi Patty! Thank you for dining with us and for taking the time to provide us with your thoughts. Sharing unique and interesting dishes that highlight local ingredients is one of our main priorities, so we are happy to hear that you enjoyed most of the dishes you had! However, we regret that you had a less enjoyable experience with the fish. Your feedback is important to us, and we will certainly use it to grow and improve. We would be thrilled to have you in again so we could have the chance to wow you with a new fish dish, or any other dishes you might be interested in! Cheers, Brooke (General Manager)

    Brooke arranged the most lovely experience for us! Having a private room for our 29th wedding anniversary was perfect! And Roxanna is absolutely the most lovely server. The best food in Tucson with service to match!

    My husband and I had dinner and drinks for our anniversary last night and we had a fantastic time. I have many food restrictions (gluten free and vegan) and I had many options to choose from. The service was top tier. The drinks were complex and divine!

    Great meal, great drinks. Sat at bar, got to watch the kitchen prep, and had them choose dishes for us. Great food, and even dishes I wouldn't normally like we're tasty.
