"If you must eat on a boat in Paris, make it this one. The fancy two-hour voyage begins and ends across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower, during which you’ll dine on approachable fine dining menus for those who like the idea of fancy tuiles and flowers but don’t want to have to Google every ingredient. You can choose from a three- or four-course set lunch (starts at €110 per person) or four- or five-course dinner, and pay when you book. Once onboard, it’s hard to forget where you are. You’ll sit on a chair cushion emblazoned with a greyscale city map underneath the ceiling’s silver wave motif. Despite the tweezer-applied flourishes, flavors are familiar, like the roast guinea fowl with mustard jus that has all the comfort of roast chicken in gravy. The wine is ludicrously expensive, but it’ll be hard to say no to a glass of Champagne. After all, you’re dining on the Seine." - emily monaco, sophie friedman, sara lieberman
