“A fish riding a bicycle”

Reviewed February 13, 2012 NEW

You don't expect a fish to ride a bicycle well; indeed doing it at all is a miracle. Bateaux Dubai is a similar situation; you don't expect floating tourist restaurants to provide food fit to eat. We read the reviews and were very suspicious, in the event for no reason. The menu was simple but well thought out and the... More

“Way better than expected”

Reviewed February 12, 2012 NEW

I was a bit skeptical of a boat trip on the Dubai creek, but it really was a relaxing evening. The views are much better the second half of the trip, but the food was excellent -- lots of choice, good vegetarian options, great service, etc. Compared to some of the other less classy options for boat tours (think flashing...

“Sea Tea'ing @ Bateaux Dubai - A Must Experience”

Reviewed January 31, 2012

I booked a table for three for the High Tea Offer on Bateaux Dubai that I had seen few weeks ago on Time Out. My expectations were not very high as I supposed that it was the "boat trip" that would be the highlight of the tour versus the actual culinary experience. Well I am happy to say that I... More

“Caught by surprise”

Reviewed January 27, 2012

I can only agree to all the positive comments made before. In fact, we were a little bit caught by surprise by this “Floating 5 star restaurant” event, because our travel agent offered this to us as "elegant dhow cruise with dinner". So we expected the boat trip to be the main attraction over food, and we got more surprised... More

“Delicious!”

Reviewed January 24, 2012

The food and service here is fantastic, I would definately recommend it and go back again. The only downside was that a large party of children occupied a central table, from what i gather was a 13th birthday party. They were loud, the parents ignored them, and they were running around the boat. I don't think these kinds of parties... More
