Incredible restaurant on board the HMS Princess Elizabeth (who saved 1650 soldiers from Dunkirk in 1940). Beside the location the food, wines, cocktails, whisky and everything else is perfect, even the bill. A must.
The food was impeccable. I enjoyed being there, it was definitely an experience. The staff was friendly, however every time I was approached in French, even though it had been established that I didn't speak any. As a tourist I understand I'm the visitor, but I found it a bit pointless.
It’s just amazing. The boat is owned by the urban community and rented by a restaurant by a mechanism of pu lic services delegation . I didn't had lots of choices but I have appreciated the moment spent there because of the spectacular view
We had a traditional menu for dinner, staff was friendly and we enjoyed the dishes. Prices are a bit overrated but it's justified with the location and the restaurant itself.
Birthday lunch Easter 2025. Boat was lovely. Food was delicious but my daughter struggled to find vegetarian choices. She settled on the one identified dish which she assured us was really good. I recommend the French martini ! Nice atmosphere on board but menu on French ( i know, how dare they! ) and staff didn’t speak English well enough to describe dishes to us. So - have a look at the menu before you go is my tip of the day, it’s on their website. Well worth a visit and a memorable birthday lunch.
We had a very nice lunch here and they accommodated my gluten-free needs very well. Their online reservation system worked very well except some timings do not reflect the restaurant closure but they called us to inform us and modify our timing.
Good quality, prices are somewhat adequate given that it is France and the location/story/setting of the restaurant. Service depends on the waiter, some were super friendly and explained & advised, others were more impersonal and quite robotic
