It seems like we have been trying to get to Batuqui forever. After finally making it happen we will most definitely not waste any time getting there for a repeat visit. We made a reservation for our visit and were thrilled to be seated at a table right at the front window overlooking the porch and outdoor dining area. As it was a bit of a chilly evening we loved the view and the comfort of the dining area. This also gave us the benefit of being served by Tiffany who was welcoming, wonderfully attentive, and very knowledgeable! Lovely service was the first success of this amazing meal.
We started with a plate of Pao de Queijo – little round cheesebread bites – bites of deliciousness – accompanied with delightful salads – the Bossa Nova and the Palmita. We rounded this course out with a glass of red wine (guest) and a caipirinha (mine, one of the best I’ve ever tasted).
For our meals we selected the Feijoada and Picanha Acebolada. Both dishes were substantial, both were perfectly prepared, both were delicious. We had each chosen four items for our entree selections so we made the decision to start at the top of the listings figuring we’ll work our way down the menu on subsequent visits. Dilemma solved! But, there is also a daily specials menu so it is probable that the menu and its possible combinations will never be exhausted!
While the dessert list was inviting we were both completely and fully satiated and knew we would not be able to enjoy desserts this visit. Next time we’ll save room.
