A very nice local restaurant! The food is typically French and the staff is very nice! The quality/price for the set menus was very good! We ended up going twice for dinner because the ambiance is very nice around sunset.

We have visited Le Bateau for the last 3 years. They are extremely welcoming and very Friendly. Great tasting food and good value for money. We will be back again soon. Thank you.

Nice place to stop on bicycle trip to Épernay . Nice people. Nice view on river. Tasty coffee, beer or champagne

We had a great lunch at this little country restaurant. The food was simple and fresh. Nice Champagne list, plenty of half-bottle choices. Little English spoken. The view of Damery from the windows is amazing.

We ended up here by accident, but it appeared to be a very happy one. Very nice owner, good champagne, good talks and laughs. Very much worth a visit; highly recommendable

Love the place and the owner was super kind. We bought some champagne, we liked the tasting and the price is fair. Recommend a visit! Cheers from Olanda and Italy

The restaurant's mastery in using light to enhance the atmosphere is commendable. Soft, warm glows accentuated the textures of the walls and furnishings, creating a cozy, inviting environment that immediately set a relaxed tone for the evening. The lighting was not just about visibility; it was an integral part of the restaurants identity, reflecting on the plates served. Each dish was illuminated perfectly, highlighting the vibrant colors and intricate presentations, making the food not only a feast for the palate but also for the eyes. The thoughtful use of shadows and light played a significant role in emphasizing the freshness and quality of the ingredients, adding a layer of visual enjoyment to the gastronomic delight. Moreover, the strategic lighting contributed significantly to the overall mood, making conversations more intimate and the dining experience more memorable. It's rare to find a place that pays such attention to detail in creating the perfect ambiance through lighting. The restaurant stands out for its exceptional ability to blend culinary excellence with visual artistry, making it a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a meal in a beautifully lit setting that complements the exquisite taste and quality of the food served.
