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!

Came for the $38 brunch buffet — very disappointed. Food quality was poor: dry, burnt brussels sprouts, pancakes, and French toast, plus overcooked, tough steak. Service was slow, and instead of asking how things were, the manager told us not to waste food. Cute space and convenient location, but not worth the price.

Super worth it during dine out boston you can eat for 20 per person, One of the best offers I have had so far the Onion soup was mid wouldnt recommend also very small, smoked salmon was great and for entree the Cod and the Cordon bleu where pretty good 8/10. But the desserts were the best part, I think it is the best creme brûlée I have had and the profiterole was amazing.

They should be embarrassed to run a restaurant this way.

We ordered the unlimited steak frites. The first plate arrived with cold fries, but the meat was good. We then waited 20ish minutes for the next bit of steak that was cold, no fries. 15 minutes later, still no fries and no refills on drinks. I spoke with the manager about the upsetting experience thus far, and he offered to give a 50% discount. 15 minutes later still no fries or refill. That is when our waiter informed us that they had been out of fries the entire time! A few minutes later we finally got a refill and a bit of beef that was at least warm.

I will not be returning.

After the $1.00 oysters the dining experience went downhill.
Under seasoned food, overcooked burger, stale French fries. If I was not with a large party I would voiced my displeasure.
The service was poor. An all around disappointment

Excellent French food with real French waiters and good wine; excellent service. $1 oysters between 4 and 6 pm! Amazing escargot covered with pastry!

Food and atmosphere are excellent, but had issues with timely service during our lunch. The staff are very nice, but replacement for a overcooked appetizer took very long, and fries were forgotten with our entree and also did so as well. Unfortunate when you're spending 30 a head minimum. I wish them luck correcting it, but we're not the first to have issues with how long the a plate takes to show up.

Dinner at Batifol was excellent. Wonderful atmosphere, reasonable prices, nice food, very good service. I had baked cod which was fresh and delicious. Crème brute is among the best I’ve had in Nee England. Will come back!

The service was amazing. Went for the buffet brunch and it was fine, if unspectacular.

I go to the place as my dates suggestion they don’t use AC even though the hvac is ran through the ceiling. We do there unlimited steak option o get full and didn’t want anymore the guy handing out steak throws a ton on my plate and I tried saying I didn’t want anymore but he didn’t speak English. They charged me 10$ waste fee so they conned the whole experienced. It is just like France warm water no ac and overcharged for the most c level steak!

I really wanted to like this spot. The interior is clean and pretty, but that would need to be your reason to go. The buffet isn't worth it. I ordered off the menu and got the yogurt bowl and my boyfriend got thr buffet. The cookies that came in top of the yogurt bowl were stale and the strawberries were old, bruised, and inedible. The granola was good, but the food there was not what I had hoped. My boyfriend isn't a picky eater, but none of the buffet food was worth the cost. If you're a huge cheese lover then maybe, but you'd still be better off just ordering it. I don't think I'll come back.
