What to expect

Bistronomic dinner aboard the Ivoire floating restaurant in Paris

Eiffel Croisières' bistronomic dinner cruise is a unique experience in Paris that lets you discover the city from a different angle. The evening begins beneath the majestic Pont Alexandre III, where the captain and crew welcome you and show you to your table. Aboard the Ivoire, a comfortable and elegant boat, you then sail towards the islands and their history.

Dinner begins with a starter inspired by Parisian bistros, followed by a selection of bistronomic dishes prepared by a passionate chef. Continuous service is orchestrated by a dedicated team of maîtres d'hôtel as Notre-Dame, the Île de la Cité, the Île Saint-Louis, the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay glide by. Dessert is served as the boat approaches the illuminated Eiffel Tower: a magical moment to end the evening on a sweet note. Whether as a couple, with family or with friends, it is an experience not to be missed in Paris.

Go further with other Parisian dinner cruises

The Ivoire barge wins over food lovers with its seasonal bistronomic cuisine and relaxed atmosphere, but Paris offers plenty of other dinner cruises to explore. For the great classic cruises, the Bateaux Parisiens and their panoramic glass roofs and the Bateaux-Mouches company, departing from Pont de l'Alma are essential references. For a friendly atmosphere, step aboard the Capitaine Fracasse restaurant boat or try the Italian cruise of the Trattoria en Seine. For a festive evening, the Diamant Bleu features a singer and a DJ. Finally, the floating restaurant by Maxim's de Paris and the Tosca prestige barge by Eiffel Croisières take the experience upmarket.

Lovely way of exploring the city

Viewing paris from the river with a dinner was a great (and very romantic) way of exploring the city! The food was good, and the staff very friendly. As with most things in Paris, they do try to make as much money as possible (for example, if you want to sit near the window, you pay extra, even when there is enough space). But they were very clear in explaining the costs (which wasn’t the case for all places in Paris!), which we appreciated. Overall we would recommend taking a river cruise including dinner, it was lovely :).

The food was pretty good, and interesting, at least to my friend and I. Portions were modest but appropriate, the wine offerings were nice, and the vibe was pleasant. The boat ride itself was very nice, and as a man who uses a cane I felt safe.

Things to work on: Communication, mostly. Signage at the dock needs help to clarify where to wait. The surprise option to pay to sit by a window felt a little grubby.

Great experience, good food, service and value for money!

We really enjoyed this experience, our group age ranges 13 to 67, service and food was very good and the staff were friendly and attentive. Great views of the Eifel Tower from the boat and Paris by night is wonderful! I would book with this company again.

We thoroughly enjoyed this dinner cruise experience. The views were beautiful! We felt like it went so fast, and wanted to stay and cruise along the river longer. The food and wine were good, and I think it was definitely worth paying extra for the steak. Overall, it was a great experience that I would recommend!

Lovely dinner cruise to celebrate my cousin's birthday. The staff was friendly and accommodating to our requests. The ambiance and the food was great! We got to sail by the Eiffel Tower as it sparkle and that was magical.
