One word, incredible. The service was impeccable and the found was absolutely heavenly every bite had purpose and meaning. Highly recommend for anyone who doesn’t mind spending a little bit more money on food.

The place is small but cute. Staff is very friendly. The attention to detail in the food is just right: nothing too extravagant, but every dish features delicious ingredients thoughtfully combined. It’s quite possibly the best meal you’ll ever have! Highly recommend for people who love food!

Booked a reservation within 5 min of it opening for the month of October and got in successfully. They take reservations in “seatings” so everyone with an 8:45pm reservation was welcomed at the same time and we all went through each course on the same timeline (likely easier for the kitchen). I didn’t mind this, but it’s certainly best for an experience (which is the intent) vs. having a meal at your own pace. We enjoyed several dishes, and there was one I wouldn’t order again for the price point. Service was great, atmosphere was good too! It’s perfect to sit at the bar and watch them work their magic. Favorite dish was their beef tartare, and I usually don’t enjoy that dish. Pastas and pork skewers were good too. Would not get the fried gnocchi again - just not a noteable dish with much substance.

Food is beyond anything I’ve ever tried. So unique. So tasty. It’s a dining experience, not just a typical restaurant. Courses come out one at a time with a lengthy break in between, so prepare to be there for 2 hrs at least.

Have been trying to get into Battuto for a few years now as it is quite hard to get a reservation. They ended up accommodating us on the patio even without reservation. Food was really good, but we had very high expectations and were unfortunately not blown away. The burrata salad and the bread were excellent and ended up being the best part of the meal. Pastas were good but we have had many great pasta dishes in our travels that were just as good. Service was really friendly and attentive but wait times for food was quite long. This is likely because everything is made from scratch which we appreciate! Our seating was around 3 hours long in total. Location is about a 30 minute walk from Old Quebec - keep that in mind during planning.

Small restaurant with big flavours! The suppli, scallop crudo, beef carpaccio, corn raviolo and the cannolis with haskap berries were some of the highlights. Fabulous experience overall :)

Great atmosphere, high quality ingredients; mind blowing flavours. It is a small intimate place with an open kitchen - we really enjoyed watching them make our meal. All our dishes were great - the scallops, strawberry tart and pistachio ice cream were my favourite - service was wonderful - We got very lucky and found an open reservation 2 days before we ate there - so happy that we had the opportunity to eat here!

Deuxième visite et toujours aussi surprenant pour les papilles! Nous avons pris la ciabatta, la polenta frite avec crémeux dartichauts et gremolatta, les olives, la buratta, les agnolettis, la tarte et le gelatl à la pistache. Le service était super et les verres de vin surprenants !Tout était délicieux ! Nous reviendrons pour une troisième visite cest certain!

A different style of cooking with small portions to share and an open kitchen, very nice to see the cooks. Warm service. Small downside on the cocktail where there was a lot of foam and ice cubes, nice wine list. The cuisine is very good, you can feel the quality on the plates, +++ for the POLENTA FRITTA, a real delight. I recommend!

My partner and I have been there twice in the last few months in a group of 4. The service is warm, welcoming and friendly. The food is exquisite and the menu was different for our two visits. The menu is small and offers a variety of quality dishes. The only downside is that the restaurant is a little noisy. That said, the open kitchen and the smallness of the restaurant were appreciated. The challenge of successfully securing a reservation is definitely worth it!

Amazing restaurant. Its the best pasta Ive ever eaten, really. I was quite skeptical, because often peoples favorite restaurant is Battuto, but now I can say the same thing while having my opinion of the place. The atmosphere is cozy, zero stress, but also, whats exciting is that the kitchen is open concept right next door and yet we can hear the music really well, which is far from being loud, and we have I dont think its noisy in the restaurant. Clean toilet right in the basement next to the kitchen prep door. At the beginning, I found that the service was starting to expand, but I immediately understood that the goal was not at all to be served quickly, but rather to be well and quietly served. The waitress was super calm and attentive. Oh and the prices are decent and the portions are reasonable! I will bring my sister for her party, if I can book it Thank you

The best restaurant in Quebec, as much for the quality of its cuisine as for the service, passionate and attentive. Excellent wine list, well mastered by the team, who will be happy to advise you. Plan your visit in advance, its absolutely worth putting a reminder in your calendar to get a reservation at this fantastic place. The menu changes regularly and there are always vegetarian options. The Suppli Al Telefono are a must. But the best dish I have eaten in my life is their Gnudi Di Ricotta, with black truffle. (Excellent pairing with green tea, by the way). For two people, take a place at the counter. The attention paid to the dishes by the kitchen team is a spectacle in itself.

The best restaurant I tried in Quebec. Reservation is open 1 day per month for the following month, so you have to be on the lookout, but its so worth it. The dishes are fine but with so much taste! The service is very warm, we received very good advice on the wines (which are also excellent). The setting is very intimate, perfect for a romantic evening. I would eat there every day

We would have liked to enjoy the full culinary experience. Unfortunately, at 8:00 p.m., we were rushed to leave in a cavalier manner with the bill in hand, no dessert, no coffee! A table of 4 next to us was served dessert and coffee! Culinarily speaking, it s 100%!

We recently tried to book a table at Battuto restaurant for a romantic weekend and our experience was extremely disappointing. After booking online and entering credit card information, we thought we were lucky enough to finally get a taste of this prestigious and highly sought-after restaurant. What a mistake! We made the trip to Quebec, only to discover that our reservation had not been recorded. After numerous calls, impossible to get service over the phone. It was through Messenger that we were then told that we had probably not completed the entire confirmation process, that we had forgotten two additional steps. This left my partner very disappointed and full of doubts. She had booked dozens of restaurants in her life, how could she have missed any steps? But hey, to err is human and we told ourselves that next time, we would pay attention to these missing steps. We tried to book again on June 29th following the exact same process, but again received no confirmation and the reservation was not recorded. Additionally, there were no additional steps; we did it right the first time, so the problem wasnt with us. We contacted the restaurant via Messenger to report the problem and request an explanation. I have too much respect for restaurateurs to post negative reviews without offering them the opportunity to adjust, apologize or rectify the situation. We finally received a response that seemed somewhat arrogant and offered no concrete solution to our problem and no apology, which added to our disappointment. Restaurant owners prefer to view our intention to use review sites as a threat rather than a legitimate way to express our disappointment. However, it is a perfectly common and legitimate thing these days. After reviewing feedback from other customers, it is clear that this issue is recurring and has persisted for several months. Other people have experienced the same situation. This shows that the restaurant is aware of the problem but chooses to ignore it. This lack of responsiveness and reliability is unacceptable for an establishment of this reputation. Its as if customers are left to their own devices, without any support if something goes wrong. The restaurant seems to be resting on its popularity with little regard for the customer experience. Those who manage to secure a reservation must be delighted, and I imagine from reading the reviews that the food and service are excellent. However, if you have any problems, whether with the reservation system or other aspects, be aware that this restaurant may not pay attention to your concerns. What is particularly frustrating is that this restaurant opens its reservations for several months at once, knowing full well that in ten minutes everything will be reserved. We have family lives, we have to organize ourselves to be available at the precise moment when reservations open. We set an alarm, we stop at dinner time in the middle of the family hubbub on a Saturday to try to spend our hard-earned money on what promises to be a great dining experience. And despite all this, when the system does not work, we are not even entitled to the respect of an empathetic and respectful response, but rather an arrogant response. The restaurant is doing well right now thanks to its popularity, but if they continue to ignore negative feedback and problems, it could hurt them in the long run. Hopefully they improve their system and customer service before this becomes a bigger problem. Perhaps one day I will be lucky enough to change this review, if only I could manage to secure a place using a fair and reliable reservation system.

I was able to grab a seat outdoors since I did not have a reservation. Excellent service, the server was very friendly. The burrata was ok, nothing spectacular (a slice of toasted bread on the side would have been great). The Pasta was delicious, the lemon sauce was outstanding. It felt like a hug on a chilly night (Unfortunately they don t have blankets and I was not prepared for the night to turn cold all of a sudden). They prepare each course one at a time so long wait times between each dish. The almond strawberry tart was ok (shell was very hard). All in all a good experience and I recommend.

A gastronomic experience initially but we must also talk about the exemplary, attentive and authentic service. All the dishes we ate were perfect. Watching the chefs work is a pure pleasure and a lesson in humility for anyone who does not respect the work of people in the restaurant industry. We dont mind paying when its good and pleasant. And it was fully so. Several places in Montreal and Quebec have given up in the face of complex menus. Not them. The dishes are varied and elaborate. Quite difficult to get a reservation but that s how it is and I don t mind. I just hope you go there.

Service was excellent! Very personal. The staff answered all questions happily. We sat at the bar and we were able to see all the food being prepared. It was an exceptionally personal and pleasant experience! All the food was fantastic and personally prepared fresh. The steak tartar was the best we had ever had. The gnocchi and spinach ravioli were fresh and uniquely flavored with a special sauce. The olives for the ordeuvre were unique and delicious. The tiramisu was so light and delicious with shaved chocolate on top. The aperol spirtz was a great starter. Nous allons revenir avec nos epouses ou nous memes. Jan & Jack xx

Our experience at Battuto Restaurant was excellent. Since there were 6 of us, we shared the entire menu. We really fell in love with the Insalata (with burrata), the white anchovy bruschetta, the beef tartare and the Tiramisu. The dishes were exquisite, very tasty and with impeccable presentation. The restaurant is small in size with a nice ambiance. The service was professional and we really appreciated the waitresss recommendations for the choice of wines. Certainly one of the best restaurants in Quebec!

March 22, 2024

Twice I try to book... I set an alarm at noon -5 for the opening date of availability, I select my date, I even go to the step of entering my credit card and when I click on the final step: confirm, the site flushes me and I never receive the confirmation. My partner tried it at the same time as me today and it did the same thing to him. A bit boring as a way of doing things I think... if one day we have the chance to go to Battuto, I might have the opportunity to change my opinion!

Takes timing and luck to reserve here. On the last Saturday of the month at noon they open the next month. You need to be ready and flexible. Within 5 minutes its over and you may or may not have gotten a place. Everything we had was excellent , the only ok dish was the pasta with red sauce main course.

Texture, warmth & freshness in perfect marriage. If you want a complete experience and before your eyes, go to the bar you are directly in front of the kitchen! The service is courteous and the team is as cheerful as we are about the food! A little gem in Quebec.

A Culinary Gem Worth the Elusive Michelin Star After years of attempting to secure a reservation at this extraordinary restaurant, I can attest to its exceptional quality, making it more than worthy! Persistence finally paid off as I managed to secure a coveted reservation at this establishment, renowned for its exquisite culinary offerings. The anticipation and excitement were palpable as I entered the doors, eager to indulge in the gastronomic experience that had eluded me for so long. Lets dive into the dishes that awaited, each one a testament to the culinary prowess of this establishment. The beef tartare, a culinary masterpiece, showcased the chefs mastery in the art of raw preparations. The finely diced, top-grade beef, delicately seasoned and paired with complementary ingredients, created a harmonious blend of flavors that delighted the palate and left me yearning for more. The burrata, a true delicacy, exemplified the restaurants commitment to sourcing the finest ingredients. The creamy, luscious burrata cheese and its fresh ingrediants, resulting in a burst of freshness and indulgence with every bite. It was a tantalizing start to the culinary journey that lay ahead. One standout dish was the veal rice, a true revelation in taste and texture. The succulent, tender veal, cooked to perfection, resulting in a comforting and memorable symphony of flavors. It was evident that meticulous care had been taken to ensure that every element of the dish harmonized flawlessly, showcasing the culinary teams dedication to their craft. And then there was the pasta, an embodiment of creativity and craftsmanship. The handmade pasta, lovingly crafted with precision, boasted a perfect al dente texture. Each bite transported me to culinary bliss as I savored the exquisite combination of flavors, carefully curated by the skilled hands of the chef. It is no surprise that securing a reservation at this restaurant is a Herculean task, with bookings filling up within a mere 10 minutes each month. The demand is a testament to the unparalleled dining experience that awaits lucky patrons fortunate enough to secure a spot. In conclusion, this establishment is a hidden gem in the culinary world, deserving of the elusive Michelin star. The dedication to sourcing exceptional ingredients, the mastery in flavor combinations, and the unwavering commitment to culinary excellence set it apart. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a dining experience that transcends expectations and leaves an indelible mark on the palate.

July 7, 2023: Return to Battuto last Friday. Menu lacks inspiration, limited choice of main dishes. Very noisy restaurant. Its good without being wow, the quality/price ratio is no longer there. The restaurant operates on its reputation. Our last visit. Review from 5 years ago: Excellent restaurant, nice atmosphere, good service, contact with off-site customers still needs to be improved. If only they had a web reservation application worthy of the name. A secondary 5 student would have done better.

Ive probably been going there 4 to 5 times a year since it opened and Im always extremely delighted with the dishes that are served to us, the flavors that surprise us with each bite and what can I say about the service. Vegetarian options: Many dishes with seasonal vegetables, in fact more than half of the menu is vegetarian.

Really a very beautiful and good table! Dishes crafted with subtle tastes, interesting, intelligent and original combinations! Everything is there to have a real good time and yet!!!!!! The music is at an unbearable decibel level, it should be prohibited by law, the suffering of customers, staff! It is unacceptable ! These are for staff hearing loss and tinnitus guaranteed for 35 years! European standards are largely exceeded!!! A very good meal with all the senses awakened except one in real pain! Maybe that s the goal?

We were seated at the bar and it was great! Next time we want to go back and sit at this place. Attentive and very professional service. Nothing to say about the food and the atmosphere, everything was very very good. We were given good advice for the meal because we would have ordered too much, we wanted to taste everything. It was spring and parking was a bit complicated though. Plan 10 minutes in advance to be sure to be on time. Looking forward to going back.

We were able to get a reservation for a table at Battuto on the same day as we arrived in town (though it popped up last minute so wouldnt recommend waiting to reserve). This place did not disappoint. We ordered the suppli al telefono (arancini), cod cake balls, beef carpaccio, scallops, lamb pasta, grilled pork brochette, strawberry tart and raspberry & pistachio terrine. The aracini was the best Ive ever had - crispy with a creamy interior and filled with a generous amount of gooey provolone. The terrine was heavenly. The flavours in all the dishes were balanced - no complaints. The service was very friendly, patient and attentive. Our server Émilie went through the whole menu with us in English and gave us suggestions for portions which was very appreciated. She was great!

I don t typically leave reviews but this is a special case. The restaurant itself has extremely poor atmosphere and is unreasonably small (almost elbow to elbow with other guests). The atmosphere consisted of a bike rack, street tree and old patio furniture. This was also a detriment as they allow dogs to sit on the patio, a very unhygienic practice (this was clearly no service animal). The server had no interest in our table and was absent the entire night following taking our order (probably the worst service I ve ever had). We ordered simply to ensure we would be on time for later plans but we waited from 7:45pm- 9:30pm to receive our food. Once finished we waited another 20min before the plates were removed, at which time we had to take the bill as there was no time for dessert. The food itself was very good but the service and atmosphere are seriously lacking .

Small restaurant. Several places at the bar allowing you to chat with guests on the other side of the counter. Very warm welcome by enthusiasts. Festive music. Antisocial personality and allergies to smiles should be avoided. As for food, revisited Italian-inspired cuisine. Quality ingredients and original creations. The menu is designed to taste different dishes. A good place to eat well in a friendly atmosphere.

I hear very good comments but it seems impossible to reserve a place. I will wait for the moment when the initial enthusiasm has calmed down and then I will check if what I feel and promise is really true. Update: I finally managed to book. Excellent dinner, small but intense menu, allegory of flavors that denote the Chefs excellent ability. Bravo. The fact that he is not Italian increases the value of the cuisine even more because he has been able to interpret a culture and not copy it. The place is small and if the music is too loud it becomes difficult to talk. I suggest playing instrumental music. People go to restaurants to socialize, not to listen to music which in any case must create a positive atmosphere. Last comment for the staff: very courteous and prepared and contributed a lot to the good experience without invading too much but always present. Well done!

Each time I visit, I tell myself that I have to go and write a review for this EXCEPTIONAL restaurant that I love with all my heart (and with all my stomach ), to say how much more the food is there than perfect, that Pascal, Amélie, Paul, Guillaume and all the others, are beautiful to see going in their culinary choreography, that the place with around twenty seats makes us feel that we are privileged to be there when we are seated there and, to say, that this restaurant is happiness, but I could not find THE word to describe to what extent what we experience in terms of taste and personal is fantastic. I thought about commenting with photos, because we know that a photo is worth a thousand words, but, despite the beauty of these, I told myself that they would not do justice to reality, to taste, to smell and experience; a bit like when you go to visit a major tourist attraction and you look at your travel photos on the way back.....it never represents the reality of what you saw and experienced. You have to experience it to understand, like with this gastronomic jewel! You will have guessed it, I am a Battuto fan, a lover of this little restaurant filled with grandiose dishes and after numerous visits, I finally found THE word that describes what this crowned marvel is: BattutOMG!!! So ! One word that says EVERYTHING
