Brazilian
Described as "Brazil in Cleveland", Batuqui is in the heart of Cleveland, OH and emphasizes the cuisines of the Bahia and Minas Gerais states of Brazil. Set in a casual but appealing dining room, there is also a full bar with custom cocktails.

The menu at Batuqui is full of exciting and unique choices and they are known for their authentically grilled top sirloin steak called Picanha. They offer appetizers like the Frango Passarinho which is fired chicken in a cilantro sauce or the Salgadinhos which are savory hand-rolled Brazilian bar snacks and entrees like the hearty traditional Brazilian party dish called Feijoada. They have fantastic salads and an array of intriguing Brazilian entrees. Choices include fish, vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options in addition to the grilled meats and Brazilian steaks that make Batuqui such an appealing spot. Love desserts? Their homemade chocolate bon bons called Brigadeiros or Coconut Butter Cake are amazing too!

    The food was delicious! The service was great! It would’ve been 5-stars except my order was wrong. To their credit, they did offer to remake it but I was too hungry to wait.

    The food was great! The customer service was good, but the waitress told us that our table was needed in a half hour for the next reservation, right after she delivered our desert and we just ordered a cocktail. Several tables were empty and that made us rush our desert. We did not overstay our welcome. That did not feel good. We left her a good tip anyway.

    Food was amazing, the ensopado de porco had a great flavor and was cooked perfectly, I can say the same for the key lime chicken. It’s a cozy space that some may consider cramped but it didn’t bother me. I loved the coconut butter cake, highly recommend! I enjoyed the caipirinha too, nice and strong. The waitress and staff were very attentive. Looking forward to coming back and trying the specials:)

    Great place! Awesome servers, everyone was so friendly and attentive. I wasn't impressed with my meal for the price. I had Salmon, rice & collards that were raw and unseasoned. The salmon was very small for the price. But I will be going bck to try something else! It's very well worth it! Lovely place!

    The food here is consistently delicious. I keep coming back for certain favorite dishes and am not disappointed. When the place is full, it can feel a little cramped, but the noise level is not bad. Service is generally fine and the servers can answer questions about food options. They make a good mojito too.

    Great restaurant - we have been dining at Batuqui on Larchmere in Shaker for years. It is small and busy with a cheerful vibe. It can be romantic for some.. The owner is usually at this location. I am always a fan of salmon, but other family member enjoy the Brazilian entrees. Great coctails and service.

    Absolutely a great experience! Our server Gabriella was delightful and attentive. We started with the fried Yuca app. My wife loved her vegetarian dish Prato Misto, but I think that my Carolina's pasta was even better because of the shrimp and smoked salmon! My only regret is that I forgot my leftovers on the table after we paid! The transformed home into a restaurant feel was super cozy! We'll be back to try there outdoor seating!

    We started off with cocktails, we were in a party of five and we all enjoyed our food choices. The meat was cooked to perfection and seasoned perfectly, not too salty and not bland. We booked to sit inside but after we arrived it would be a little wait for our table so we chose to eat in the Amazon tent. to our surprise it was well heated, and the very cosy. Our server was friendly and professional and made sure we had drinks refilled when asked. The food was really delicious I would definitely recommend and I will be returning

    We came here to celebrate a special occasion. I asked for indoor seating in my reservation but we were sat in a tent out back. It was only about 30 degrees that night and we weren’t dressed to be sitting outside so even though there was a portable heater nearby, we were both freezing. By the time we left, my toes and fingers were numb. We ended up spinning our table ourselves to try and get us as close to the heater as possible but be both were cold throughout the entire meal. We ordered two drinks and two appetizers to start. One of our appetizers was given to another table. Our server came out and explained what happened and that they would remake the appetizer. We didn’t complain and patiently waited. Both our server and the manager came out to apologize for the wait and both told us it would removed from our final bill due to the wait. It was never removed and we didn’t want to cause a problem, so we just paid for it even though we were told we would not have to. Our dinners were ok - I ordered the Xim Xim. It was not impressive. For what we paid, I was expecting to be wowed. This dish and its presentation were something I could have made better at home. I did not eat most of my dinner and just had it boxed up to go. I was so disappointed that we spent $200 on a dinner that was so average. My husband’s steak was cooked well and his sides were good. We both ordered dessert - again, the presentation was just ok. Both tasted good but I’d seen pictures online before we came and both our dinners and our desserts weren’t nearly as pretty or nicely displayed as what we were expecting. Even though I mentioned that we were celebrating a special occasion, no one mentioned it or acknowledged us. I guess I was just expecting a lot more for the price that they charge and the reputation that they have. The food was good - not excellent - and the ambiance was hard to appreciate since we were so cold. I am a Yelp! Elite member and I had higher expectations for Batuqui.
