“Great experience, good food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2012 NEW

Visited Bateaux Dubai on a company evening. As the only luxury boat on Dubai creek, this is worth the additional money. Even with full capacity (there were two large corporate events on as well as general public) the food was of a excellent standard and the entertainment pleasant (pianist and guitarist/singer). The views are great and fully visible from inside... More

“Well appointed boat, great staff and onboard chef - it works”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2012

We are seasoned travelers and shy away from water based restaurant experiences, but we opted for a BD experience because it looked nice. The boat does the usual circle of Dubai's Creek in style and the meal was delightful. The boat is a copy of the Paris Bateaux and is very comfortable. The alternatives are pretend dhows and reheated food,... More

“Brilliant”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2012

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent evening on the Bateaux Dubai. We arrived a little early but the staff invited us to board, which was nice as it was still a little hot. The boat is lovely, we had a great table and the views as you travel up and down the creek are great. The food was excellent, fine dining... More

This was a wonderful experience,a little expensive but as a one off lovely to do . The food was really nice (alcohol is only served once the boat cruise starts). The staff were very attentive without being intrusive. The evening lasts about 3 hours,with a break in between courses where you can go up on deck and see the views... More

“Best fine dining in Dubai”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2012

This dinner cruise (or the lunchtime option) is an unbeatable experience for visitors to Dubai, or for residents who have guests to entertain. The food is a very high standard with imaginative presentation and the ambiance on board the boat is fairly formal but very friendly. The service is great, and the views from every table are magnificent - well... More

“Excellent food,setting and staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2012

The evening dinner cruise with or without alcohol is great value as the level of food,service and staff are excellent. I doubt you will eat better on a boat anywhere and with on board music and the views a great way to spend an evening in Dubai. More
