Battuto is widely regarded as a standout culinary destination in Quebec City, consistently delivering memorable experiences defined by masterful cooking, thoughtful flavor pairings, and impeccable service. While securing a reservation can be a challenge due to the small, intimate size of the restaurant, guests find the effort well worth it for the opportunity to watch the professional kitchen team at work and enjoy dishes that are frequently described as divine, fresh, and perfectly balanced. From creative appetizers and exceptional pastas to expertly crafted cocktails and wines, the quality remains consistently high across visits, fostering a warm and welcoming atmosphere that leaves a lasting impression on everyone who dines there.
Ma soirée a été à la hauteur de mes attentes & le resto à la hauteur de sa réputation. Personnel très accueillant. Ambiance agréable & chaleureuse. Parfait pour un souper en tête à tête mais aussi entre amis. & que dire de la nourriture... divine. Je recommande à tous de vivre cette belle expérience. Si vous êtes que deux, demander d'être assis au comptoir devant les fabuleux chefs, c'est un must.
Wonderful place! Great chefs, amazing kitchen, kind & warm service! Reservations are a must 1-2 months, ahead. First time choose the bar seats for the kitchen view. Strongly recommended, if you like the real Italian cuisine!
EXCELLENT food, every meal was perfect! We ordered each 3 services (I usually don't eat a lot) but the portions were perfect & worth it!
Tiramisu was excellent - large portion that we shared :) Coffee (allongé) excellent!
A little expensive, we paid a grand total of 250$ for 2 but again worth it, not a place you go to every week.
If you want to seat at the counter you need to specify it when you make your reservation, next time I will ask for sure.
Parking is free on the street if you can find one.
You need to make your reservation 3 months ahead, that's the only down side! Good job Chef!
Service avec Pascal impeccable. Au bord des larmes tellement c'est délicieux. Vin choisi par le serveur, un des meilleurs que j'ai bu. Compliments au chef & son équipe.
Après une troisième fois, c'est toujours un plaisirs de découvrir les délicates saveurs du Chef, mais avec l'excellent service d'Amélie l'expérience est complète.
I knew I wanted to eat at Battuto the moment I saw the Air Canada EnRoute magazine naming them the best new restaurant in Canada. The only issue was to obtain a reservation. Luckily for us, their online tool works well & I was able to secure 2 seats, even though the wait was MONTHS!
The arrival is friendly & intimate. Our coats were taken downstairs & we were seated at the counter right in front of the kitchen action. I was at first disappointed we didn't get a table, but I very soon changed my mind entirely & now think this is actually the way to go. We found a white wine from the North of Italy that turned out to be spectacular (Langhe) & started to order. Our experience was made even better by the fact we could see what was being prepared & going out to the tables, so we were always inspired to try this dish over that one, you know? This is why, along the course of the evening, we changed our initial "ordering plan" as we didn't have to place an order for the entire meal, but only small plates at a time. Sort of reminded me of Tozi in London. That's what we did for most of the Aperitivo (3/5) & Antipasti (4/7) sections. Then, after we ordered our sole pasta plate (Ragù cavatelli, superb), we were so full we couldn't even try anything in the Dolci section. This is one of the many reasons we have to come back.
The entire evening was just an amazing experience, so it's hard to name highlights, but let me try:
- The chef is right in front of us & we can ask questions!
- The carpaccio was to die for, even for someone like me who don't eat mushrooms. This plate was phenomenal.
- My second favorite dish was the (guinea fowl?) liver crostini.
- The service was perfect & apparently our waitress is also in charge of the music. You don't hear the band Teleman everywhere, so kudos on that!
Furthermore, while this not a cheap night out, the food is still reasonably priced. So yeah, if you do have the ability to book here, please do. You won't regret it one bit.
2ème soirée au Battuto, mais cette fois-ci en famille & au bar. Tout était parfait ! Merci à Pascal notre serveur (& propriétaire du restaurant avec les 2 chefs) pour ton service impeccable. Il est à l'écoute de nos besoins & prend le temps de nous jaser un peu.
Le service, la carte des vins & le menu sont parfaits. Prix raisonnable. Qualité des produits exceptionnelle. Toujours une expérience gastronomique fantastique. Coup de coeur pour l'antipasto de Tonno. Pas assez de mots pour décrire le plaisir éprouvé en dégustant ce délice fondant. Bravo au chef Guillaume & toute son équipe pour un plaisir de la table renouvelé à chaque visite.
Expérience culinaire à vivre ! De voir les chefs exprimer leurs talents devant vous & de pouvoir leurs parler apporte une dimension
Vraiment agréable. Tout était parfaitement orchestré & les plats étaient vraiment très bon! Battuto a essayer encore !
