An air of Paris or Amsterdam in Montreal? You will soon believe that you are in Europe going on first floating coffee in town, the Canal Lounge, located close to the Atwater Market. Make yourself comfortable in a 45 years old boat, but certainly fresh and colorful design, the cozy atmosphere and inimitable view. At night, coffee becomes a lounge where music and lights awakens the boat.
Canal Lounge is described as a charming canal-side spot with a romantic vibe and a small, distinctive setup that adds to its appeal. The setting on a boat or terrace offers great canal views and sunsets, making the atmosphere a key part of the experience. Drinks are a highlight, with cocktails praised for being well made and refreshing, and light bites like olives or chips noted, while the menu is generally described as compact but adequate. Service receives mixed feedback, ranging from quick and friendly to slower with longer waits. Prices are sometimes called reasonable and other times a bit high, depending on the item. The decor, fresh flowers, and plants contribute to a cozy, unique vibe that suits a date or a casual gathering, especially in warm weather. Overall, Canal Lounge stands out for its ambiance and setting on the canal, even if the food menu is not extensive.
Lounge is a very nice spot with a romantic setting by the canal. It's small & somewhat atypical, which adds to its charm. That said, the menu could benefit from offering more options.
This place & the concept are really nice! We were able to seat on top of the boat & the view is great. The drinks are good & even tjough their menu isn't big it's good. The staff was also really kind & fast. Will definitely go back!

Ordered sangria. It was very nice. Very cute place with nice view of the canal. Wish i could have a got a upper seating view but nevertheless loved the vibe.
Spot atypique sortant du vieux montreal , sur les abords du canal de Lachine, bateau mouche accosté & accueillant de 15h à 23h du mardi au samedi, proposant cocktails & petits snacking (Chips, olives...) dans une ambiance lounge.
On s y sent vraiment bien ! Tarif tout à fait raisonnable pour une pinte à 10 dollars !
C est mon ptit coup de coeur 😍

Un concept de bateau-mouche original & superbement décoré avec des fleurs fraîches & des plantes. On y trouve des sièges à l'intérieur ainsi qu'à l'extérieur, si vous avez la chance d'en dénicher un. Cocktails rafraîchissants & amuse-bouches à partager au rendez-vous. À faire au moins une fois pendant l'été !
I get what they're trying to do, & the staff are really friendly - but it's missing something for me. I'm afraid to say but the boat looks a bit tired inside & decoration is limited. The food was also really disappointing - it felt grocery-shop bought. The flowers outside however are beautiful. If a bit of money was spent I think this would be a great spot.
