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!

Mind-blowingly delicious. Super tight space with expert staff. Best for a special occasion!

Only one word, exceptional! Every plate we had were amazing, very tasty and high quality. Only downside is that you have to be lucky to get a spot as it gets fully booked pretty quickly. Thanks again for this super experience!

I love going to the restaurant and have tried most of Quebec city’s and Montreal’s best restaurants. I can easily say that Battuto is in the top 3 meals I’ve ever had! The food is simply amazing and the service is great. It’s also really nice to eat A+++ food in a laid back ambiance (it’s not a stuck up vibe like some restaurants).I literally dropped a tear of joy while eating as it was so good. This was the only time this has happened while eating and I simply could not keep the smile off of my face. Truly a memorable and wonderful experience!It’s also a really great quality/price, I was expecting the bill to be higher but it was quite reasonable! It’s a must-try in Quebec City, be sure to book several weeks in advance though as it is a small restaurant and it’s really popular.Longue vie au Battuto!

Absolutely amazing! The servers were nice and helped translate many of the dishes on the menu. Food was the best I have ever tasted at any restaurant and I strongly recommend coming here if you come to Quebec City. Going to come here again!

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 wouldn't 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 I've 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!

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 it's 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. It wasn't bad just nothing you can't have at home easily. Prices are reasonable which is one of the big reasons it's so popular."

Goodness gracious. Amazing.The only appropriate review is to thank the owners and to thank the very welcoming host and the very fine people who have created this establishment. It is in truth near to perfect.If you truly enjoy food and enjoy wonderful hospitality, I highly recommend Battuto.Once again. Thank you to the owner and to our server and to the tremendously skilled and gracious people that prepared our meal.

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 .
