We had the best time on the Canal Boat Restaurant! We booked it privately for a 3 hour trip for our friends Hen Party. 20 people joined us and we ordered canapes. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. Honestly we were all talking about how lovely the crew were. They really went above & beyond to help us. They took photos, helped serve the wine we brought for hosting wine tasting (corkage was very reasonable), helped put up our decorations and made sure everyone was looked after (especially the bride to be). It also helped that it was a beautiful sunny day so we could spend time up on the deck. Thank you all so much for making it such a great experience!

Super awesome. The fish stew was amazing. What an awesome experience. Everyone on board was very nice and the food was hot but quick. Did I mention delicious? From appetizers to desserts. Definitely recommend!!

I highly recommend the Canal Boat Restaurant for a group outing or a special occasion. My daughter had her hen party here last Saturday and what a treat it was. Let me start by saying the boat itself is absolutely beautiful and spotlessly clean both inside and out. The staff were amazing. They were friendly, courteous, discreet and efficient and couldn't have been more helpful. The food was good quality, fresh and well prepared and presented. We had a great 3 hours. Well done to all of you concerned and keep up the good work.

Lovely experience food is of good quality and well done. But limited choice. Service is friendly and warm. It's expensive though but it's more of an experience than just a meal.

An unforgettable dinner cruise! We had an unforgettable birthday party experience from start to finish. We sailed through the Grand Canal and watched the crew manually open the locks. The food was delicious and the service went above and beyond. We would like to thank Beatriz and Nicole for their exceptional service, friendliness, and positive attitude. Gorgeous experience!!!

Nicole and the team on the canal boat restaurant were absolutely fantastic! We had such a fun time for my sister's hen party. The staff went above and beyond, created the perfect atmosphere for everyone and made us feel like VIPs! Loved it!

I recently had the pleasure of dining with a large group of colleagues in the Canal Boat Restaurant. From the very start of arranging the event, Jaya and Nicole were very helpful and efficient and this followed through on the night. On the night of our event, the food, the service and the atmosphere, were exceptional. Special thanks to Kevin the chef, who made sure the food was delectable and perfect for a group of our size. I will definitely be back.

I was totally surprised at how good this experience was. The food was just outstanding as was the service staff. I did not expect such great food on such a small boat. The 2 hours went by very quickly and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The boat goes through a tunnel and a lock and then back again. Make sure you go topside during the lock transit as it is very interesting. There was a crew of 8 who took very good care of all 18 passengers. Special thanks to Captain Dan, and all the rest of the crew.

The canal boat was a really great experience, the setting is like no other and the crew were so lovely and welcoming. The food is amazing. I highly recommend the canal boat cruise.
Mairead Rooney , September 2023
Twice we have dined on the canal boat. For starts the setting is uniquely charming, original and you get a chance to appreciate the canal boat experience with your appertif on the deck as you move along the canal. On both visits, dinner was delicious, a nice variety in the menu, and the staff are warm and efficient.
