With urban Montreal as a backdrop, a chic and elegant decor, a refreshing musical band and an irreproachable service, the Bateau-Mouche sails their patrons into a gourmet cruise where creativity is the guest of honor. Discover menus created by the star chef, Louis-François Marcotte, in collaboration with Benoit Hogue from La Brigade Volante.
Reviews of Bateau-Mouche Souper Croisière describe a visually stunning, immersive dining cruise with heated domes, breathtaking views of the Old Port and Montreal by night, and a romantic or festive atmosphere that many consider memorable. Visitors frequently praise the concept, ambiance, and some dishes and drinks as excellent, and the service is often described as friendly and attentive when well executed. At the same time, opinions vary on execution, with several mentions of slow or disorganized service, long waits between courses, and meals arriving tepid or cold. Pricing is consistently noted as high, with some feeling portions do not match the cost, though others view the experience as worth it for the overall immersion and atmosphere. Logistics such as locating the venue, signage, and balancing heat and comfort inside the domes are noted, along with occasional heat or temperature issues. Many reviews highlight the setting for special occasions, romantic evenings, or group celebrations, and several say they would return for a future event or the summer version. Overall, the reviews present a mix of magic and frustration: a unique, splashy experience can be extraordinary, but consistency in service and meal timing can make or break the night.
Nous avons visité le Bateau-Mouche en équipe pour une activité d'une heure. L'expérience était agréable, mais sans être extraordinaire. Le bateau est de bonne taille, très propre & bien entretenu. Nous étions installés au balcon à l'étage, ce qui nous a permis de profiter pleinement du soleil & de la vue sur la ville.
Pendant la croisière, un guide présentait différentes attractions. Les informations étaient intéressantes, mais le volume du micro était un peu trop élevé, ce qui nuisait légèrement au confort de l'écoute.
Nous avons également commandé des cocktails. Ils étaient bons, mais manquaient de raffinement compte tenu du prix, ce qui a été un peu décevant.
Dans l'ensemble, ce fut une sortie plaisante qui nous a permis de découvrir la ville sous un autre angle. Toutefois, l'activité d'une heure nous a semblé un peu courte. Nous serions intéressés à revenir une prochaine fois pour la formule plus longue ou encore pour l'expérience avec souper, qui semble offrir une immersion plus complète.
It was an unusual experience. Due to the large number of visitors, it was noisy & almost nothing of what the tour guide was saying was clear.
The meal was fast food & the choice was limited. I think for us it was a one-time go & there will be no other. The owners of the establishment should work on general improvements.
Thank you for this experience & good luck to you in the future.
Took the 1 hour day time tour. Boat & amenities clean & comfortable. Beautiful views along the river & informative commentary from the guide. Food options were limited on the menu so better for the view & experience than a meal.
We took the daytime 1hr cruise. They oversell the boat so there aren't enough seats if everyone shows up. The cabin was crowded, hot, & loud. I can't comment on the tour because it was impossible to hear the guide.
Très bonne excursion à bord du Bateau-Mouche au Vieux-Port de Montréal ! Le guide était excellent, super dynamique & plein de bons conseils pour visiter la ville & découvrir des activités. L'expérience était agréable & bien organisée. Seul petit bémol : le prix, un peu élevé pour une traversée assez courte du fleuve Saint-Laurent. Mais globalement, une belle activité à faire si vous êtes de passage à Montréal !

Loved the 60 minute Tour with the family during the summer. It was our Second time in Montreal & this time we went in the Old Port of Montreal. Found this ticket booth & thought it was interesting. We were boarded by the Captain & sat upstair. The Roof slides open so we were outside while seated. Very nice table too, modern & chique interior. We had a Nachos & a few drinks. Guide was very funny & interactive. Overall, lovely tour & I highly recommend it.
Croisière sur le St Laurent de 90 minutes avec vue sympa. Très bien installés sur une banquette à l'intérieure. Par contre beaucoup trop bruyant on entend à peine les explications du guide
Très belle expérience, la bouffe était délicieuse. L'ambiance incroyable grâce au guide "50 cent" qui à expliquer les différents attraits touristiques avec humour & précision. Digne d'un comedy club américain. Je recommande le bateau mouche pour un moment de détente inoubliable.
the cruise I booked was fantastic! the guide was well-paced & friendly, & the boat was spacious, clean & comfortable. I would definitely recommend the experience, especially considering the accessible range of times & price points.

A quick 60 Minute boat ride with a guide pointing out all the historical spots within that area along the river. Nothing over the top exciting but interesting nonetheless
