    I always have a wonderful dining experience at Batuqui. The cozy atmosphere makes it feel wonderful and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. Food was absolutely delicious— flavorful and beautifully presented. The attention to detail in both the food and service truly stands out. If you're looking for a charming spot with great Brasilian food, I highly recommend Batuqui. Obrigado!

    I’m a returning customer so that is a big deal for me. The service,food and atmosphere were all very positive again . The only issue was when the patio heater nearest my table was turned off . My table was not against the restaurant brink exterior but up against the tented wall in the patio section. We were not asked about our temperature comfort level when the patio heater near our table was turned off; It was a very cold night and our feet ended up being cold. Other than that it was pretty great! The fresh “free bread “ all the appetizers and all three meals were delicious! So go!
