Como paseo está bien por una nueva experiencia, pero hay que tener un buen presupuesto para el gasto para comer en el barco porque los precios son bastante elevados y las porciones de comida son muy pequenas, aunque nadie está obligado a consumir nada en el barco, están las mesas muy bien arregladas. Los meseros tardan en traer la comida.
Bateau Mouche: an overpriced, cramped & hungry cruise
On Friday, August 29, 2025, I went to Bateau Mouche in Montreal to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. We were joined by another couple &, honestly, we expected a memorable evening. What we got was a mix of frustration, involuntary laughter, & growing hunger.
❌ Cons
- Confusing location
For first-timers, finding the boat is a challenge. The signage in Montreal's Old Port is poor & not intuitive.
- Expensive & limited parking
We arrived early but still paid $35 for a spot that wasn't worth the price.
- Overpriced boarding ticket
We paid $290.90 just to board the boat - no food or drinks included. We wanted a window seat, but the price was even more outrageous for a difference of half a step between central & window tables.
- Rude check-in staff
The young man at reception was arrogant & impolite. Clearly not suited for customer service.
- Cramped seating
We're four adults averaging 1.80 m (about 5'11'), & the space between tables & chairs was uncomfortable.
- Slow service
The cruise lasted 3 hours, but we were only served after 2. The excuse: too many orders on the lower deck. Hire more cooks!
- Disappointing food
We paid $199.98 for two AAA filet mignon dishes. The portions were so small they looked like plate decorations: a handful of beef, sweet potato purée, beets, & baby cabbage (I think that's what it was).
We were so hungry & the portions so ridiculous that we all laughed. Ironically, it was the funniest moment of the night.
- Underwhelming mocktail
The Voile d'été tasted like sparkling water with a hint of flavor. Very little, though the taste was pleasant.
- Feeling ripped off
As a cook myself, I find it unacceptable to charge high prices for meals that don't satisfy. When I pay over $35 & get tiny, bland portions, I feel like suing.
- Forced tipping
I refused to leave a tip, & the waitress tried to justify it by blaming the kitchen. I disagree - service is a team effort, & the overall experience was poor.
✅ Pros
- Friendly captain
Despite our friends arriving late, the captain gave us an extra 10 minutes & was always smiling & welcoming.
- Excellent pina colada
One of the few pleasant surprises of the night. Well made & tasty.
- Kind waitress (despite the tip issue)
Although she tried to defend the tipping, she remained polite & friendly.
---
⭐ Final rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5)
The night had its comic moments - especially when we laughed at the tiny portions served. But overall, it was a frustrating, overpriced, & uncomfortable experience. Next time I think about cruising, I might just stay on land. It feels safer… & tastier.
With the chaos of the traffic & parking, 50% of our guests missed the boat, if it was not for the warm, friendly, attentive service of Marie-Pierre, this special 70th birthday celebration would have been a complete disaster! The staff really saved the night, thank you!!

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.
