I wanted to do something different for dinner inDublin. La Peniche advertises itself as a dinner cruise. The canals inDublin are interesting so I thought it would be charming to take their 2 hour cruise....the boat,in fact, travels one lock and then returns....it takes about 25 minutes....this is not we expected at all. Very disappointing and misleading.... The food and... More

I had a voucher for a 3 course dinner for 4 people at La Penihe which I availed of last week. There were only 2 other tables occupied, all apparently on the same voucher deal. The lack of diners meant there wasn't much atmosphere. The food was ok. Starters all round were excellent. However those of us who had the... More

A lovely place to go on a date. It has a really nice, romantic atmosphere. Very relaxing and different. The food wasn't amazing, but it was nice all the same. There wasn't many options on the menu, but the food we did have was nice all the same. The atmosphere was by far the best part, although the service was... More

They were so excited to join the dining cruise on La Peniche. There are few choices on the menu but the food is absolutely delicious. Not a crumb was left behind!! (If... More

We joined La Peniche for a friday cruise and had a lovely time. We were looking for something a little bit different to do and La Peniche (which means the houseboat, in french) was exactly that! The atmosphere in the boat is warm and cozy, the staff very attentive and the food lovely. The cruise isn't long and you will... More
