Canal Boat Restaurant

Delight in a relaxing sightseeing tour on board a replica of a 1920 Guinness Barge, once used to distribute the famous stout beer all over the world. Relish in a sumptuous 3-course meal while gliding smoothly on a luxurious vessel along a stunning stretch of Dublin's incomparable Grand Canal. Sip complimentary drinks from the barge's bar while cruising by magnificent tree-lined banks and impressive skyline, past elegant Georgian houses, and under elaborate bridges. Witness as the barge's crew manually operate the lock gate, just as how they were opened and closed in 1798. Then descend into the barge's cozy and modern style dining room for an unforgettable meal of Irish dishes freshly prepared and cooked on the barge from ingredients that are locally sourced.

The 2-hour cruise departs from Mespil Road, across from the Mespil Hotel. The Canal Boat Restaurant then floats down the incredible, tranquil, and scenic Grand Canal and the Liffey River. From the boat's open-top deck, you can observe the skipper navigate the centuries-old canal locks. Alternative meal options, including vegetarian dishes, are available for those who have specific dietary requirements. The number of guests is limited to a maximum of ten travelers to make the tour more intimate and exclusive. You can cancel the booking at least hours from the trip for a full refund.

The tour receives high praise from customers who booked it. The crew was friendly and courteous. The views are absolutely gorgeous, and the food delicious. It is an experience that you should not miss.
