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.
Le plateau de charcuterie était très léger & ne valait clairement pas le prix demandé. De plus, la pauvre serveuse était seule pour s'occuper de tous les clients dans les dômes. Résultat : service désorganisé, oublis (nous avons dû attendre pour avoir des assiettes après avoir reçu notre plateau), aucune napkins, pas de crème ou de lait pour le café & une impression générale de précipitation.
Le va-&-vient constant faisait même vibrer le quai, au point où notre café se renversait sur la table tout bord tout côté! Sur le coup, cela nous a fait rire, mais honnêtement, ce n'est pas l'expérience relaxante à laquelle on s'attend pour un déjeuner.
Au final, payer 266 $ pour cette expérience est très loin d'en valoir la peine. À noter également : lors de la réservation, les 96 $ couvrent uniquement le dôme - le coût du brunch s'ajoute ensuite, ce qui n'est pas clairement mis en évidence.
Bref, une expérience décevante que nous ne recommandons pas
Gros bravo à la serveuse du 5 avril au matin, elle a fait de son mieux pour servir tout le monde & elle mériterait 5 étoiles pour ne pas avoir baisser les bras.
Only one server for all the Dômes , although she tried her best .
Bad to run from one dôme to the other causing everything to shake.
On réservation it writes Dôme 96.00 in brakets writes (brunch/raclette) no mention only for dôme.
What we received was a charcuterie platter , we ordered a bottle of red wine , i want to get my own glasses & napkins (with all the vibrations coffee spilled all over)
Really good experience. The waitress Marie really took care of us she was very attentive. Special mention for the what seems to be the owner or main manager who took the time to sing an opera worthy happy birthday song to my birthday friend. Overall, the restaurant is truly unique within the city. I recommend the salmon entrée, amazing!
Très belle vue! Les lumières confèrent une atmosphère chaleureuse & romantique la nuit.
Notre serveuse, Marie, était une pro à gérer une table de 20 personnes!

We booked an igloo for a birthday dinner & the service & food were great. The experience is worth the cost! Would reccomend to anyone & would definitely do this again.
Le concept est exceptionnel, le service aussi, par contre la qualité des repas est loin d'être au niveau d'un 4,5 ou 6 services. Cest très cher par rapport à la qualité de la nourriture.
We were there this evening at 19:30, 6 people. At first we were mesmerized with the idea of eating out on the docks in a plastic globe. Well were we in for a surprise. They took our order for cocktails. We got the cocktails after our first service. When we asked the manager, Elijah, why it was taking so long, the answer we got was that there was only ONE bartender. When we asked why they don't hire more people, we were told that they wouldn't make any money. Such an arrogance from this waiter & the attitude with which he gave his reponses. We both took the 6 services menu.. The tab was $336+15%tip+our share of the globe rental $90....unbelievable. A $400+ evening for two people.... Would have eaten better & much better served down the street at Da Emma.
