Aleksei
My wife and I had our dinner date on La Peniche, and it was absolutely amazing. It's one thing to eat by the canal, but to actually cruise down it, passing through the old locks, is something else entirely. The food was delicious- I highly recommend the duck confit! The atmosphere was perfect, with great jazzy remakes of pop and rock songs playing. The fun little moment of having to crouch under a low stone bridge just added to the charm. A truly special night out.

We really enjoyed this dinner experience. The atmosphere was really cozy. Food was very good. We loved travelling on the canals while eating and even more the canal lock experience!

La Peniche is so close to being 5 star and certainly could be with some improvements! Firstly, on arrival, you are seated on the deck and your drink orders are taken. After about 20 minutes your food orders are taken. Once starters are served, everyone moves down to inside the barge to have their meal. The deck itself could do with an upgrade. Really there is only so much you can do with weatherproof furniture BUT the table I was sat at had a huge very noticeable crack in it. The food itself was nice but the dessert portion was a bit lacking. There are only two options and the cake I got was very small compared to the creme brulee my boyfriend got. Still nice though. Now the service from staff and crew was outstanding. They were very efficient at their job and also very kind. Overall I'd recommend La Peniche for a novel experience and not for a fantastic dining experience. Also, this is a very minor gripe but when booking you are asked if there is a special occasion. On my cruise there were 2 birthdays. I had put down it was our anniversary but there was no mention of this during our dining experience.

The overall experience was great. Since I found out about this place I’ve wanted to go. Have dinner and cruise in the canal sounds awesome, and it is! The interior of the boat is quite cozy. You are allowed to explore the outside while cruising and wait for the food. Service was great and our waitress was friendly and helpful. Just for the price I was expecting food to be excellent but it was just good. Nothing to impress. But anyways I had a great time with my family. On a Sunday dinner it wasn’t busy, which I think made the experience nicer.

I really fancied the idea of this mini canal cruise over dinner and it started really nice. You can have your drinks on board before you head down for food. Really enjoyed this part. I would really like to see this place more taken care of, they can absolutely upgrade it and make it more stylish. In my opinion food was not good, only the starters not something wow though. We spent nearly 150e without dessert, and I felt it was not worth it. I really recommend that this place should be like starters, cheese boards and wine only, not 3 course meals. Food was microwaved and nothing special, on the contrary. Also the level of noise from big parties ruined the whole atmosphere. It’s so beautiful down there but big parties kept yelling and laughing hysterically. When we booked this place we really had in mind that it will be the perfect date but we were somehow disappointed. Staff is really helpful and kind, they try their best. I really recommend that this place will change things because it’s a really good idea from the business point of view.
