We had buffet at Batifol during weekend and its brunch buffet is a culinary journey that transports you straight to the heart of Paris. It offers a delightful array of dishes that cater to both savory and sweet palates. The French toast was super.
The staffs are attentive, enhancing the overall dining experience. It worth to try and it’s a must-visit.

Batifol is a truly unique location for a wedding celebration. I photographed a wedding here, and the ambiance was unforgettable—warm, intimate, and beautifully styled with that classic Parisian charm. I area outside surrounding the restaurant in Kendall Square provided many photo opportunities as well. The staff was attentive, organized, and made the entire event feel seamless for the couple and their guests. The restaurant’s decor and lighting created so many stunning opportunities for photographs, both candid and posed. Batifol is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a stylish, sophisticated, and truly memorable wedding venue in Cambridge.

Came for the all you can eat steak & frites for $37 on Sundays and it was awesome!!! We also came during the winter storm so were almost the only ones in the restaurants. The meat itself was very juicy (for the first portion you can choose how it’s cooked, but the refill is all rather medium-rare). The green sauce went well with it. The refill was a lot (and unlimited) which made us literally roll home. Recommend! Side salad was $5 extra. If you arrive early you can also get the dollar oysters. Good date night or night out with big group of friends, enjoy!

Not a single complaint! It’s a very chique atmosphere with extremely flavor food and excellent service. Was served promptly and had a wonderful meal, ordered the Chou-fleur rôti. Highly recommend! Cute date spot too!

Came in several weeks ago to enjoy some oysters. They were lean and small. Wish that they were bigger. The escargot was delicious. Ambiance definitely was upscale.

Quick summary: The brunch buffet was good and fun to try once, but I don’t think it’s worth the $38/person cost so we are unlikely to go back for it again.

We went for the all you can eat brunch. We showed up slightly early to our reservation and were seated early.

The brunch itself was mixed. The eggs, bacon, sausage, and veggies were no better than any other breakfast buffet, and since its $38 per person I would expect them to be little nicer. I thought the pancakes were good and French toast was delicious.

The charcuterie at the front of the buffet line was empty when we first arrived but was refilled in time to try it on the 2nd pass. It was a small but decent selection, but again for the price I would expect a little more.

Where the buffet shined was the pastries and desserts. All that we tried were very good, especially the king cake, croissants, and tiramisu. The drinks we got were good, and the coffee that was included in the buffet was decent.

The final cost was high, for two people for the buffet and one cocktail each was over $100. The service was fine, they were very good about clearing old plates from the tables but it felt like our server ignored us most of the time we were there.

DISAPPOINTED. DON’T COME FOR THE UNLIMITED STEAK!!!!!
We came here for unlimited steak Sunday. The wait for the steak was about 10 minutes. The host was nice; however, the service was not. It honestly felt like they didn’t care about us at all. Throughout the entire dining experience, our server never checked on us, yet frequently checked on the table next to us.

Now, about the steak—it was BAD. When it first arrived, it looked delicious, but after taking a bite, it was absolutely the worst. It was so chewy that I had a hard time swallowing it. There was no seasoning on the steak, only the green sauce. Because of how tough it was, the only thing I could actually eat were the fries.

I had high expectations for this restaurant based on the good reviews, but this experience was extremely disappointing.

tl;dr: Our group of 5 noticed a surprising lack of consistency across the same dishes. While I personally enjoyed my first two courses, others in our party weren’t nearly as impressed. The quality wasn’t uniform, which left the experience feeling a bit hit-or-miss.

I visited during Dine Out Boston and overall, the experience was fine. The ambiance definitely leans upscale, with romantic lighting, stylish bar, and outdoor space. There’s also no obvious host stand (how European!).

Dine Out Boston dinner was $38 per person, covering an appetizer, entrée, and dessert. I ordered the assiette de saumon fumé (smoked salmon plate for a $3 surcharge), cabillaud rôtis & légumes de saison (roasted cod fish with seasonal veggies), and riz au lait (rice pudding). I skipped the fromage course for an extra $6 for two cheeses. With all the upcharges, it felt like the value of the prix fixe menu was undermined – but compared to their regular pricing, still seemed like a deal.

What kept surprising me was the inconsistency. Two people ordered the pâté de campagne and ended up with dishes that looked nothing alike. The side salads didn’t even have the same ingredients – one came with radishes and tomatoes, the other greens only. The mains had the same issue, this time with the cod – mine was thoughtfully arranged, while the other was thrown together haphazardly, with different veggies and a less refined appearance overall.

On the flip side though, portion sizes were unexpectedly generous! I felt full after the starter and stuffed after the main. By the time dessert came around, I could barely manage a few bites of the riz au lait (which wasn’t that good, so fine by me).

The salmon itself was decent, though the white bread was a bit sad. It almost looked like there was caviar on top, but I was perfectly happy with the blackberries that it turned out to be. The roasted cod was also excellent, and the vegetables were exceptional for hanging perfectly in that “just right” spot.

On a side note, the bathroom didn’t live up to expectations. While not terrible, it was noticeably dirtier and smellier than the rest of the restaurant’s interior would lead you to expect.

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!

Was a success here. I love the place, first time for us. Very authentic feel for a French bistro, and that’s often not the case. Chose the mushroom omelette with fries. Both were delicious. Fries are the real French version. Have to return to try dinner.
