Seine dinner cruise

Looking for recommendations on the Paris dinner cruise on the Seine in late September. Some previous recommendations say don’t bother with the dinner cruise but others in our group want to do this. Thanks

I second skipping the dinner and just doing the cruise. Choose a wonderful Parisian restaurant for your dinners either before or after your river cruise. The best of both worlds!

I wont recommend doing a dinner cruise, for the reasons so often sited in the multitude of previous threads on this subject . Use the Search bar if you would like to read them. However, the dinner cruise most frequently cited by the minority who have taken one, is Le Calife.

I used to be a nayser for dinner cruises...until I took one. I loved it so much I've done it twice: once in July with my daughter and friends then once in October with my husband. Both times we used Bateaux Mouches but I have heard great things about Le Calife. The food was good, ambiance excellent, tour of the Seine top notch. I am someone who typically does not enjoy touristy restaurants but for the price, ambiance and length, I would not hesitate to go again. If you choose to go, I hope you are pleasantly surprised, too!

Bustronome is another option. It's a dinner on a bus that travels around the city. I think it's fun. And the food is nice.

We did the dinner cruise with Bateux Moches and unlike the naysayers here, I had a great time and would do it again.

Last April, when we only had a few hours to spend in Paris, we opted to take the dinner cruise on Le Calife, and were so happy we did. We loved it so much that we're doing it again when we visit in October. I first heard about it from the Frenchies youtube channel where they reviewed it. Highly recommend.

My Wife and I did the Calife dinner cruise at the end of May. We found it enjoyable but pricy

We did Le Calife and it was a special evening. The food was surprisinging good, the boat was charming and the staff was welcoming and professional. I would do it again.
