Food was very good and service was excellent. Major problem was the infestation of fruit flies. The food sitting out was affected and we were affected at our seats.

It's my second time there, and I was not disappointed in service, food, and everything about Batifol. I recommend this restaurant to everyone.

I went for the weekend brunch buffet with several friends, and everything was delicious! There was something for everyone, so there's no way you'd leave hungry. So many sweet and savory options. I ate way more than I should have, but it was worth it!

Very nice thanksgiving buffet spread. All the classics and some welcome additions. The desserts were fabulous!

Natalie

We loved our experience for Thanksgiving brunch at Batifol! The food was delicious and the desserts were amazing. The atmosphere felt welcoming for a holiday vibe. The staff was friendly and helpful on our questions and were accommodating with our requests. Thank you!

Lunch was great. We ordered a la carte instead of the brunch buffet. Our waitress was pleasant and promptly took our order. After that, we never saw her again. My friend asked for her dressing on the side for her salad, but the dressing was placed on the salad. She never checked in with us or asked if we needed anything. We saw the person filling up our water glasses more than our waitress. She finally came and didn't ask how our food was- she quietly picked up our plates and brought our check. We would have told her that our food was excellent and yummy! I would suggest getting the basket of various croissants- what a treat!

We ordered the beef bourguignon and the rack of lamb. Both were outstanding, we cleaned our plates (and would probably have licked them if it weren't a public place). The wait staff were attentive but not intrusive. Nice family atmosphere, there were several tables with parents, grandparents, and well behaved children. Will definitely be back, and will recommend to friends.

We celebrated our anniversary here and it was the perfect meal! Delicious food, good service but never felt rushed. Love the ambiance at Batifol always!

Jean

Excellent food, great drinks, great service. Entertained family from out of town and they loved it.

We were celebrating our anniversary and the staff went out of their way to congratulate us and to make it a special occasion. The food was magnificent and the atmosphere great. The staff were amazing and service was well paced. Definitely going back.

Jeremy

Not up to expectations. More of a cookie-cutter restaurant machine than an intimate, fun bistro. Service was spread across too many people. Watery onion soup. Poor cut of sirloin. Profiteroles with gritty, pre-scooped ice cream. All at premium prices.

Kevin

Another great meal at Batifol. Always stop here when we are in Boston and always walk out saying, “Wow, that was sooooooo gooood!” Our waitress, Mallory, was superb! Looking forward to our next visit!

Diane

We enjoy Batifol very much. The food is reliably delicious. And the frites are perfect. We're delighted that our neighborhood has a restaurant that is casual and sophisticated at the same time.

I came with a group for the brunch buffet. As I have a dairy allergy, I wasn't able to participate in the buffet. They were able to modify an omelet from the menu - although the kitchen did add cheese and have to remake it, so be vigilant if you have allergies! Overall, the food was a little disappointing and bland. You are definitely paying for the atmosphere here (which is adorable and fun). And front of house staff is attentive and knowledgeable.

We had dinner here to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday. We absolutely loved Batifol. Our server Maxime was outstanding and the food was absolutely perfect. The atmosphere is lively and fun. As a Cambridge local, I love getting coffee and pastries at The Boulangerie next door but had not tried the full Batifol experience yet. I have been missing out for all this time! Batifol surely didn’t disappoint! Merci beaucoup!
