La Peniche in Dublin

La Peniche came up as a unique dining venue, so we giave it a try. We were not disappointed. The crew was friendly and the service was excellent.

Delicious food and friendly staff. Highly recommended!

An excellent dining establishment, the lower deck of the ship offers a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. Ideal for weekend meals. The prices are slightly high, but the staff is exceptionally kind and welcoming.

I really fancied the idea of this mini canal cruise over dinner and it started really nice. You can have your drinks on board before you head down for food. Really enjoyed this part. I would really like to see this place more taken care of, they can absolutely upgrade it and make it more stylish. In my opinion food was not good, only the starters not something wow though. We spent nearly 150e without dessert, and I felt it was not worth it. I really recommend that this place should be like starters, cheese boards and wine only, not 3 course meals. Food was microwaved and nothing special, on the contrary. Also the level of noise from big parties ruined the whole atmosphere. It’s so beautiful down there but big parties kept yelling and laughing hysterically. When we booked this place we really had in mind that it will be the perfect date but we were somehow disappointed. Staff is really helpful and kind, they try their best. I really recommend that this place will change things because it’s a really good idea from the business point of view.

A unique experience on a boat that sails during the meal. Refined cuisine, impeccable service, and French-speaking staff. Ideal for a romantic dinner!

Wonderful dining and cruise experience at La Peniche in the heart of Dublin! La Peniche came up as a unique dining venue, so we giave it a try. We were not disappointed. The crew was friendly and the service was excellent. Started off with drinks on the uppder deck. The crew provided blankets to guests to keep warm. They offer a 2- or 3-course menu for a fixed price. We enjoyed the Charcuterie board, Salmon Rillette, Filet of Seabass, Confit Duck and Bailey's Creme Brulee and Chocolate Cake. The two French chefs did an excellent job of preparing plates for each table, and the mood inside the barge was friendly and convivial. It was a pleasant surprise to find out that the barge would actually sail up and down the canal. While it's not a very long cruise, it is interesting as you go through a lock and you see a lot of envious pedestrians looking at you enjoying your time on the Peniche. All in all it took about 2 and 1/2 hours and with the clear weather we certainly enjoyed the dinner and the cruise. The drinks menu is very extensive and reasonably priced. Excellent value for money given that you dine and cruise at the same time. Must reserve in advance. Cheers!

The food may be on the expensive side, but the staff is delightfully friendly and helpful.

A fantastic eatery, the ship's lower level is incredibly cozy and inviting. Perfect for enjoying meals on the weekend. While the food is a bit pricey, the staff is wonderfully friendly and accommodating.

Our dining experience at La Peniche was exceptional from start to finish. The staff were friendly and attentive. The menu featured a range of creative dishes that were both flavorful and beautifully presented.

¡Increíble cocina francesa en una barcaza restaurada! Un gran lugar para celebrar fiestas o simplemente ir a pasar una buena noche. El personal era maravilloso y amable y el crucero corto tenía la demostración de una esclusa en el canal. Un gran lugar para ir a cenar mientras estás en Dublín. Muy recomendable!
