Our recent anniversary meal at Ducasse sur Seine regrettably fell well short of expectations. Despite the visually appealing presentation (although the lobster was presented as a variation of brown sauces which was not very appealing?) , the dishes also lacked flavour and taste. The jus were particularly bland, and the lobster bisque had an unpleasant gritty texture. Additionally, the palate cleansers and strawberry dessert were unexpectedly bitter, diminishing the overall dining experience. Although some of the waiting staff provided excellent service, their efforts were undermined by the kitchen's lackluster performance. It seemed the kitchen staff have lost their passion for what they do, resulting in a meal that did not meet the high standards typically associated with the Ducasse name. The evening was salvaged somewhat by the picturesque setting on the boat and the extensive wine menu. However, the overall experience felt more like a tourist trap than a fine dining affair. As travel industry professionals, we will not be booking our clients here in the future. In our opinion, Ducasse sur Seine does not uphold the prestigious Ducasse reputation. Such a shame - as it could so easily have been such a great experience had the food lived up to its €200pp price tag!

We were very much looking forward to this dinner and cruise but were disappointed. We would not recommend, nor return. We had no problems with the staff, they were all attentive and polite. One young woman went out of her way to get a taxi to arrive at the water level when we left, which we appreciated. However, when I made the reservation I filled out one guest was gluten free, which was not acknowledged. When I asked for gluten free bread during service. they were unaware. They did come up with some very nice gf bread but it was a very long wait for it to reach our table. We had a 4 course dinner. All of the dishes were beautifully plated and presented but the majority of the food was very disappointing and flavorless to very subtly flavored, and definitely not worth the price. The tiny bites they served first were beautiful, but lacked any flavor. One was very very very subtle in taste, and the other had a faint taste of raw grass. Not a good start. The green pea variation, had a nice texture, but again, no flavor. Just a very faint taste of barely ripe raw peas. The caviar just added a tiny crunch, no flavor at all. The chilled langoustines, again, barely any flavor. Cookpot of white asparagus and morels was better, but still lacked real flavor, and at the bottom of the dish there was a watery liquid that was unpleasantly combined with the morels. The blue lobster dish was ok. The lobster was tasty, but the bisque was so slightly flavored it was disappointing. The vegetables were nicely cooked but again, barely had flavor.. Strawberries infused in a lightly spiced wine, marbled sorbet....was the best of the courses. The sorbet had a wonderful strong flavor, and the strawberries were tasty. At the end, the tiny bites were again flavorless, and the final tiny square had such a powerful taste of raw lime (?) it left a horrible taste in the mouth. So, to sum up, the only parts of the meal that were flavorful were the sorbet, the chunks of lobster, and the bread and butter. That's it. The rest was a beautiful plate of no flavor. It was unbelivable! Also, the ship never sailed because they said the Seine was too high. But other boats were sailing so I'm not sure why. Thankfully we did not spend extra on wine. Definitly would not recommend and I wish we had spent that money somewhere else.

We booked Ducasse sur Seine for New Year's Eve and it's hard to imagine a better New Year's Eve experience. The dinner is first class - just located on a well equipped and quiet boat cruising on the Seine. The service is delightful and professional and the food is first class. Truly a memorable experience.

Beautiful boat & dinner experience with a view of so many major attractions in Paris. If you enjoy a luxurious meal, this is definitely the dinner cruise for you!

Disappointing is the key word in describing our meal on the Ducasse Sur Seine. I was expecting a lot but was sorely disappointed in the food, the service and the bad boat timing. A big part of wanting to do this dinner cruise was to see the Eiffel Tower’s sparkling lights, but due to the timing of when we left the dock and returned, we missed the sparking lights (happens on the hour and we missed both opportunities). The service was unfriendly and in my opinion rude. My friend ordered the same entree as I did, and when they brought her the wrong one that she didn’t order, instead of just getting the correct one, he proceeded to argue with her that she didn’t order the right thing. The food itself was unmemorable to bad - the John Dory fish itself was fine, but then they poured on a sauce that was weirdly sweet. The dessert of figs and ice cream was good, but ruined by a strange pollen powder. So I would not recommend this dinner cruise. I’m sure there are others that are nicer and less expensive.

We went on this dinner cruise with high expectations on the last night of our honeymoon in Paris. From the beginning we were confused, the top deck was blocked off and the main restaurant is covered, stuffy, indoors and doesn’t permit many views from that vantage point. The service was terrible and the food truly and remarkably disgusting, much of it was inedible and tasted like gasoline. We could barley see much of the views of Paris throughout the two hours because of the design of the boat and as big fans of Allard were shocked at the terrible quality of the food. Do not waste money or time on this, the food is frozen from a different location not even made on board. Even the bread was stale!! Don’t go.

We went for what was supposed to be a great dinner. Unfortunately this was not the case. Four of us arrived with high expectations and had the 5 course tasting menu with the wine pairing. Considering the price, and the many other options available in Paris we arrived expecting a special experience. A short while after being seated at our table we were offered water service, we told the sommelier we wanted cocktails she informed us that wine was included with our dinner and seemed amazed that we would want a drink, nevertheless she took the order and explained that the specialty cocktails were the only ones available and a martini was not possible. After we got done scratching our heads (because they clearly had vodka, but we’re not capable of shaking it into a martini) we ordered 3 of the specialty cocktails which were ordinary. There is a stereotype of the rude Parisian waiter/waitress which had I never encountered personally especially at Michelin restaurants but our sommelier fit that description to a “t”. I asked for napkins as there were none on the table. A short while later the cocktails arrived and again I requested napkins. After we finished our cocktails I again asked for napkins and they arrived shortly after. The meal itself was disappointing there was a lack of flavor and finesse. There are so many options in Paris I suggest this not be one.

A spectacular experience from the lovely setting, to the incredible views topped off with great food and service. Seeing the Eiffel Tower shimmering from the top deck is a memory that will last forever. The valet having our car at the dock when we ready to leave was the final perfect touch.

This was my second experience with this dinner cruise, the first being when a friend and I spent a week in Paris. This time my husband and another couple who are dear friends were part of the evening. It was, for our friends, the first trip ever to Europe and Paris and this evening was a perfect introduction to the beautiful city of lights. Our experience paired wine with each course. Each was very good - the food was delicious and beautifully presented. It seems that now diners are staggered so that service staff is not completely overwhelmed - this is a good thing. It also allows guests to enjoy the evening without wondering where their plates are and why one table is served and not their own. The Seine is a busy place at this time of year, so there were quite a few other boats on the water. That just made for a more interesting view. We have enjoyed Alain Ducasse’s restaurants in London, at Le Meurice, the Eiffel Tower and this cruise and have absolutely no complaints…..only compliments. Is this a touristy thing to do? Absolutely. If you are visiting the city and are looking for a different kind of evening this is an excellent choice. We would certainly do this again!

We celebrated my Wife’s 60th Birthday with a romantic meal. The atmosphere on board was great, the service was excellent and the food was to a high quality. We really enjoyed it, thanks to all the team!
