The food was impeccable. I enjoyed being there, it was definitely an experience. The staff was friendly, however every time I was approached in French, even though it had been established that I didn't speak any. As a tourist I understand I'm the visitor, but I found it a bit pointless.
Birthday lunch Easter 2025. Boat was lovely. Food was delicious but my daughter struggled to find vegetarian choices. She settled on the one identified dish which she assured us was really good. I recommend the French martini ! Nice atmosphere on board but menu on French ( i know, how dare they! ) and staff didn’t speak English well enough to describe dishes to us. So - have a look at the menu before you go is my tip of the day, it’s on their website. Well worth a visit and a memorable birthday lunch.
Incredible restaurant on board the HMS Princess Elizabeth (who saved 1650 soldiers from Dunkirk in 1940). Beside the location the food, wines, cocktails, whisky and everything else is perfect, even the bill. A must.
