France · DINING EXPERIENCES
The good dining experiences fill weeks ahead and the best go first. Below: which to book early, what each includes and how they differ once you are there.
A small-group Seine dinner cruise with cocotte-style French courses, a panoramic terrace, and night-lit views of Paris landmarks in about 105 minutes.
“Staff were great - excellent service throughout our trip - thank you. Very well organised from start to finish.”
3-course dinner on the Seine with live singer, glass-boat night views of Paris landmarks, and smart-casual elegance from the Eiffel Tower pier.
“Incredible experience booking the privilege service. Food was excellent and we had a private table by the window. Ambience and food were great and the music and live singer on board was an awesome way to celebrate an anniversary. Dependent on where you sit you may not be able to see certain landmarks. Overall 5/5 and a great special experience especially if you’re celebrating. Scallops dish, Beef filet with mashed potatoes, and tiramisu with ice cream were all great dishes. The most expensive meal experience I’ve had for two people in Paris but in my opinion it was well worth it and I’d book again.”
A 2.5-hour Seine dinner cruise from near the Eiffel Tower with 3- or 4-course gourmet menus, wine or Champagne, and nighttime views.
“It's amazing and the food, and live music are great. We would highly recommend it!!!!! The Hotel LEFT Bank is wonderful.”
A bistronomic dinner cruise on the Seine with butler service, landmark views from Alexandre III Bridge, and Eiffel Tower sparkle.
“Everything was great, be aware of additional charges. It was quite hard to find and there was a few of us just wondering around.”
Paris Seine dinner cruise with Eiffel and Notre Dame at night, 3-course gourmet meal, coffee or tea, and optional Champagne.
“Really enjoyed this, food was exceptional and so was service. Only down side is that they charge you an additional 15euros per person if you want to sit by the window.”
Seine at night in Paris with a 360-degree deck, live piano and violin, and a multi-course dinner with wine or Champagne.
“Horrible experience. Upon checking in I was bullied into purchasing a taxi ride back to my hotel and lied to about uber not being allowed to pick up passengers after the cruise ended. It was $44 for less than a 2 mile drive. The cab driver did not even show up (allocab) and they still pushed the charge through. I’m having to dispute it. The cruise experience was also terrible. The food was bad and the servers were rude! I wish I had my money back.”
Enjoy a 150-minute Seine dinner cruise with live piano and violin, a four-course French meal, drinks, and Eiffel Tower lights from the water.
“It was an unforgettable experience! Everything was perfect. The food was excellent, the live music was beautiful, and viewing Paris at night from the boat was incredible! Especially the Eiffel Tower sparkling. I highly recommend this experience!”
Moulin Rouge Féerie dinner show in Paris with dinner, half bottle champagne, and 100 performers in glittering Belle Époque spectacle.
“The best show I have ever been to. Beyond entertaining. Dinner was exception and the staff were very attentive, especially as it gets so busy. I cannot fault anyone involved. Perfect.”
Paris en Scene 3 is a 3-course Seine dinner cruise with window seats, Eiffel Tower night views, and major landmarks, plus optional wine.
“It was an amazing experience! The food was amazing! And the staff were friendly!I highly recommended it.”
Dinner cruise on the Seine with live singer, three-course French meal, big-deck Eiffel views, and DJ dancing on Diamant Bleu.
“Dinner was amazing! Service was exceptional, timely, and accommodating! We had a group of six, booked separately and they put us together, took great care of us all cruise long!! Entertainment was top notch and engaging!! Anastasiia (kis_anastasiia_ on IG) was fabulous, energetic, and a true talent!!! So very very good!!”
One night in Paris: Seine dinner cruise, reserved Eiffel Tower second-floor views, and Moulin Rouge cabaret with champagne, plus a fast city sweep.
“We enjoyed the dinner cruise, the time at the Eiffel Tower was rushed, as it turned out the bus was late picking us up so we could have had a more leisurely time at the Tower and Moulin Rouge was ok, a lot of time in a queue waiting to be seated. All in all a good night but if you have the time I would definitely do the Eiffel Tower on another night.”
Romantic 2-hour Seine dinner cruise with a 3-course French meal aboard the Capitaine Fracasse, plus views of Eiffel Tower sparkle.
“The overall vibe of the cruise and dinner was really good, also loved the extra touch on the photographer taking couple pictures. Appreciated our dinner and loved the cruise, with the sprinkling on the imaginative photographer who gave us some really good memories to cherish and take along with us.”
Glass-enclosed Seine dinner cruise in Paris with a 3-course French meal, Champagne, and night views of Eiffel Tower.
“This was such an incredible experience. Our waiter informed us to go see the Eiffel Tower with a better view at the back of the boat. The food was also incredible, the beef and crème brûlée specifically. We were gifted 2 glasses of champagne. The entertainment, a singer, was so fun. This whole experience is something I’d recommend to all my friends.”
Paris gourmet dinner on a Seine cruise with live singer and DJ, panoramic rooftop views, and a silver-service meal near top sights.
“we enjoyed the dinner cruise on the Sun very much. The view was breathtaking. The service was outstanding and the entertainment was lovely.”
Eiffel Tower first-floor dinner at Madame Brasserie with Thierry Marx menus, drinks included, and Paris views. 2 hours of pure wow.
“Adrienne our table server was excellent! Very informative and detailed on the elegant meal we were served. He was so nice and gave many recommendations for our trip to Paris and France in general. His attention to detail and service are impeccable! Thank you for the greatest time!”
