El Batán Del Tayta

An exceptional place! Creative dishes with decoration sometimes going over the top. But each meal is a little work of art. Ootstanding value!

The presentation of the food and the flavor are amazing! But the quantity although is more than some fancy restaurants, I felt it could be a bit better… that’s why I give 4/5 The waitress was very friendly and kind, but I don’t know that because of the time, she was alone, managing the orders and the cashier. Regarding the atmosphere, for me it was too much rustic, not bad but I would prefer a bigger table and a chair that you can move easily. Prices are a bit high but think it worth it as the flavors are good. I ordered Ceviche Ceja de Selva, Milanesa Shacshina, 1 portion of rice, 1/2 pitcher of passion fruit juice and everything was s/94. You can pay with credit/debit card or cash. Definitely a good option for lunch/dinner in Chachapoyas.

El Batán is hands down one of the best culinary experiences we had in Peru. The menu is a beautiful mix of traditional Amazonian and Andean flavors, reimagined with creativity and finesse. We tried the tasting menu and every dish was a surprise — full of color, texture, and unique local ingredients. The presentation is worthy of a fine dining restaurant, but the atmosphere remains warm and authentic. The service was excellent too: friendly, attentive, and happy to explain each dish. If you want to taste the real spirit of Chachapoyas with a modern twist, don’t miss El Batán del Tayta. It’s more than just food — it’s a full cultural and gastronomic experience.

Amazing place to take photos, and the cocktails were pretty good but unfortunately the food I ordered was quite poor. I had the tayta campesino and all the different cuts of meat were really dry and tough. Considering it was quite expensive (relatively to other places) I have to say I was quite disappointed

Super interesting restaurant with traditional Amazon kitchen. Service was excellent. Nice presentation.

Excellent place to dinner! Best in town.

Food was super presentable but lacked taste. Stuff very friendly and attentive. It was unexpectedly cold. For a place recommended by the books, it did not meet our expectations.

excellent food and atmosphere, for starters I didnt know what to order but the nicest waitress approach herself and asked me if I needed any help, and made a few suggestions. The pricing was appropiate and they even gave me a mini cocktail and chips. I would highly recommed this place.
