Don Juan II: The Only Michelin-Starred Cruise on the Seine

Don Juan II: The Only Michelin-Starred Cruise on the Seine

There are Seine river cruises, and then there’s the Don Juan II. Moored at Passerelle Debilly opposite the Eiffel Tower, this historic Art Deco yacht is kitted out with fireplaces, framed paintings and a wood-paneled bar from where you can order a flute of Champagne before your dinner cruise. Designed by the Maison Pierre Frey, it’s all elegance- down to the gold-colored curtains framing the windows. What’s more, there are only 12 tables (maximum capacity of 38 guests) so it’s an intimate affair.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Frédéric Anton (@fredericanton)

But let’s talk about the food, shall we? It’s a truth universally acknowledged that river cruises have mediocre, ho-hum cuisine (after all, the view is the star of the show). Yet on the Don Juan II, the food is so good, it’s a distraction- you end up paying more attention to your plate than the stunning scenery out the window.

That’s because Chef Frédéric Anton is at the helm. He’s the culinary maestro who holds three Michelin stars at Le Pré Catelan in the 16th, and one star at Le Jules Verne , the gastronomic hot spot atop the Eiffel Tower. In fact, he’s also been awarded a Michelin star for the Don Juan II- making it the only Seine river cruise to hold such an honor.

What’s on the dinner menu? It’s a glorious culinary parade with dishes staggered so they served in front of each major landmark: the Musée d’Orsay, the Monnaie de Paris, Notre-Dame, Hotel de Ville, the Conciergerie and the Louvre . Ingredients are seasonal, so the menu reflects what’s being grown at the moment. To wit: amuse-bouches of fried artichoke with anchovy cream, a flan-like marvel with fennel and caviar topped with elderflowers, a crab delicacy resembling an apple meringue, the signature langoustine ravioli topped with a golden jelly, and pan-fried lamb with morel mushrooms in a Jura wine sauce. To cap off your feast, the chocolate soufflé with pistachio ice cream is sublime.

Don Juan II The multi-course dinner is 240€. Wine pairing is extra. Boarding at the Port Debilly (Paris 16) starting at 7:45 pm until 8:15 pm. Departure at 8:30 pm with a return to the quay at 10:30- 11 pm. Tel: +33 (0)1 83 77 44 40 Email: [email protected]

Michelin-starred chef Frédéric Anton at the helm of restaurant boat Don Juan II

Le bateau restaurant Don Juan II fait une cure de jouvance

A highly gastronomic novelty this autumn, Michelin-starred chef Frédéric Anton takes the helm of the yacht Don Juan II and takes Parisian gourmets on a gastronomic cruise along the Seine, on the most beautiful avenue in the world.

Set in the Art Deco décor of the Don Juan II, this dinner-only cruise takes in Paris's finest monuments , while savoring the best of French gastronomy from a multi-starred chef . Frédéric Anton is also in charge of the 3* Le Pré Catelan restaurant in the heart of the Bois de Boulogne , and the 1* Jules Verne restaurant on the 2nd floor of the Eiffel Tower .

This time, departure from Port Debilly - not Port Henri IV as before - opposite the Eiffel Tower for a night cruise on the ship's deck to sip a glass of champagne while watching the Iron Lady light up, and inside the ship for the chef's luxurious dinner .

  • Tips for the week of April 22 - 28, 2024 in Paris: free or inexpensive outings

"My ambition is to make the Don Juan II a benchmark gastronomic address. It's a restaurant with the most beautiful décor in the world, since it also overlooks Paris via its most beautiful avenue, the Seine. The food has to match the setting! It's also an intimate experience, since Don Juan II only accommodates 12 tables, i.e. less than 40 covers," says chef Frédéric Anton of this new experience.

A magical evening in store.

Beautiful dinner cruise

The Don Juan was amazingly beautiful. The staff was attentive and the food was delicious. We were lucky enough to have our cruise on a clear sky night so we were able to enjoy the city of light at its best. I will agree with Lee H that the photographer took to much of our time trying to have my children posing for pics and it was late at night so even with flash it was not the easiest. Then during our dinner when we are trying to relax and enjoy the scenery here she comes again to sell us the pics. I got so annoy at the distractions that i told my husband to just buy the whole package just so i wouldn't have to make another selection, little did i know they were over EU500, that part was disappointing. Second time i went i nicely refuse to take any pictures and that took care of the problem.

From the moment we were invited aboard with champagne and amazing hors d oeuvres the atmosphere became one of lux-fun! The food was delicious and beautifully presented as well as paired perfectly with lovely wines to complement. The timing to see the Eiffel Tower in all its nightly splendor was perfection. From Hello to Au revoir was splendid!

This turned out to be one of our most enjoyable dinners. We arrived at the dock early and were met at our cab by a staff member who escorted us directly to boat. He led us to a stateroom with a fireplace and comfortable lounge chairs and took drink orders. Within a short time our drinks arrived along with a delicious set of hors d'oeuvers. A little while later we were given the opportunity to move to our table. (Each of about ten tables was set before a large window, with comfortable space between the tables.) The service was perfect. Each course interesting and superb. Other reviewers have mentioned the cost. It was for us a special occasion and the cost was clear before we made our reservation. From other reviews I had developed a little concern about the added cost of the wine served. However, there were many moderately priced choices and it was no different than the cost at a good restaurant. The lighted buildings and bridges of the Seine were a beautiful background for the evening. All in all it was a magnificent experience.

What a unique and special way to spend an evening in Paris. The boat ride was serene and showed us many beautiful sights and landmarks in Paris. All this whilst enjoying a truly delicious and well served 6 course meal. Absolutely top notch, would highly recommend!

don juan ii dinner cruise paris

Delightful cruise, seperate tables even for 2 people. Really looked after my elderly mother and made it a most memorable evening. Food excellent and no problems coping with dairy allergy. More expensive than others cruises, particularly as drink is extra, but well worth it for the space, quality and service. One point on getting there , DONT go all the way on the georges pompidou expressway! Our taxi drivers sat nav kept saying he was at the destination , but of course he was in a tunnel section - so unless you've brought a pick axe come off earlier and go up onto the quay!

We had dinner in Don Juan II during the weekend of my wife's birthday. Good atention,very good food and nice and quiet place. There were no many tables, so you didn't have the feeling of eating with your neighbour, and the staff were quick and helpful. They provided a blanket during the stop to see the Tour Eiffel.... I highly recomend the experience!!

The Best Dinner Cruise Experiences on the Seine River

' src=

Paris is one of the most romantic destinations in the world. And what could be more romantic than enjoying a sumptuous dinner cruise on the Seine River while admiring the breathtaking views of the city’s iconic landmarks? Two of the most renowned Seine river dinner cruises are the Ducasse sur Seine and Don Juan II. In this article, we will delve into the details of these two dinner cruises and explore what makes them a must-try experience for every foodie visiting Paris.

Ducasse sur Seine

Meet the chef.

Alain Ducasse, a world-famous Michelin-starred chef, has made his mark in the Parisian culinary scene with his elegant and refined cuisine.

Ducasse has played an instrumental role in shaping the contemporary French cuisine, and his dishes are celebrated for their creativity, balance, and attention to detail.

Ducasse’s culinary journey began in his early twenties when he started working in the kitchens of renowned Parisian restaurants. He then went on to train under some of the most respected chefs of his time, including Michel Guérard and Alain Chapel. In 1984, he opened his first restaurant, Le Louis XV, in Monte Carlo, which earned him three Michelin stars within just four years of its opening.

Over the years, Ducasse has expanded his culinary empire, opening numerous restaurants around the world, including several in Paris. His Parisian establishments offer a range of dining experiences, from the opulent and refined dining room at Plaza Athénée to the more casual and relaxed atmosphere of Aux Lyonnais.

Ducasse’s cuisine is characterized by its emphasis on high-quality ingredients, meticulous attention to detail, and innovative use of flavors and textures. He is particularly known for his skillful use of sauces, which often form the backbone of his dishes. Ducasse’s creations are a reflection of his deep respect for traditional French cuisine, combined with his desire to push the boundaries and create something truly unique.

Dining on the Seine River

You can now experience his gastronomic artistry on a luxurious dinner cruise on the Seine River. Ducasse sur Seine, a floating restaurant that opened its doors in 2018, offers a unique dining experience that combines the best of French cuisine with stunning views of Paris.

The boat, designed by naval architect Gérard Ronzatti, is a masterpiece of modern engineering and luxury. With its sleek and elegant design, the boat blends perfectly with the surrounding architecture of the city. The restaurant’s interior is equally impressive, featuring a contemporary and minimalist décor with a focus on natural materials such as wood and leather. The dining area can accommodate up to 200 guests, and each table has a window view of the Seine River.

A unique dining experience

Alain Ducasse’s culinary philosophy is centered around using the freshest, highest quality ingredients to create dishes that celebrate the essence of French cuisine. The menu at Ducasse sur Seine is no exception to that philosophy. The menu changes with the seasons, and every dish is a masterpiece of flavors, textures, and presentation. From the amuse-bouche to the dessert, every course is a sensory delight.

The service is impeccable, with a team of skilled waiters and sommeliers catering to every need of the guests. The wine list is extensive, featuring a carefully curated selection of French wines, with a focus on organic and biodynamic wines.

As of April 2023, the cost of the 4-course dinner cruise is 160€ / guest. If you’d like to browse through other available options and check their menu, please click on the link provided below:

Le Don Juan II

Le Don Juan II, named after the legendary Spanish lover, is another Seine river dinner cruise that offers a unique dining experience in Paris. The boat, built in 1931, has a rich history and has been restored to its former glory by Yachts de Paris, a luxury boat rental company. The boat’s art deco design and luxurious interior transport guests to a bygone era of glamour and sophistication.

The dining area, located on the upper deck, offers panoramic views of the Seine River and the city’s iconic landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, and the Louvre Museum. The décor is reminiscent of a chic Parisian brasserie, with leather banquettes, marble tables, and crystal chandeliers.

The menu at Don Juan II is equally impressive, featuring classic French dishes with a modern twist. The chef, Frédéric Anton, uses only the finest ingredients to create dishes that are both flavorful and visually stunning. The menu changes regularly to reflect the seasons and the availability of ingredients.

Chef Frédéric Anton is a renowned French chef and culinary expert who has made a name for himself in the world of gastronomy. Born in Burgundy, France, Anton began his culinary career in the early 1980s, working at Michelin-starred restaurants across the country.

In 1997, Anton became the head chef at Le Pré Catelan, a three-Michelin-starred restaurant located in the heart of Paris. Under his leadership, Le Pré Catelan earned international acclaim for its innovative approach to classic French cuisine, with Anton’s signature dishes often being described as “culinary works of art.”

Throughout his career, Chef Anton has been recognized for his contributions to the culinary world, including being awarded the prestigious Meilleur Ouvrier de France in 1993 and being named a Chevalier de la Légion d’honneur in 2007. Today, he continues to inspire and delight diners with his passion for high-quality ingredients and his innovative approach to French cuisine.

Among his signature dishes are the ravioli langoustines, which feature delicate handmade pasta filled with succulent langoustine meat, and the roast venison with autumn truffles, which pairs tender venison with earthy, aromatic truffles for a flavor explosion.

For dessert, Chef Anton is known for his hot chocolate soufflé, a decadent and indulgent treat that perfectly balances rich chocolate with light, fluffy texture.

From the moment you step aboard the boat, you’ll be greeted with warmth and hospitality. The staff are attentive, yet unobtrusive, and they go above and beyond to make sure that every detail is taken care of. Whether you need help with your coat, assistance with a special request, or simply a smile and a friendly greeting, the staff are always ready to assist you.

Low-Cost Dinner Cruises Alternatives

While Ducasse sur Seine and Don Juan II offer a luxurious and unforgettable dining experience, they may not be affordable for everyone. For those on a budget, there are plenty of low-cost Seine river cruises that offer a glimpse of the city’s landmarks and scenery without breaking the bank.

These budget-friendly options typically range from €15-40 per person, and while they may not offer the same level of gourmet cuisine or luxurious amenities, they still provide a unique and enjoyable way to explore the city. These cruises often include an audio guide that provides information about the landmarks and sights along the way, as well as some snacks and drinks.

Here are a few budget-friendly alternatives that we would recommend based on our personal experience:

  • Price: around 70$ / adult
  • Duration: 3 hours
  • Link to their website: Le Bistro Parisien
  • Price: around 90$ / adult
  • Duration: 2 hours
  • Link to their website: Le Capitaine Fracasse
  • Price: around 100$ / adult
  • Duration: 4 hours
  • Link to their website: Le VIP Paris

While the low-cost cruises are a good option for those on a budget, they do have their downsides. They are often crowded, and the seating may not be as comfortable as the high-end cruises. The food and drinks may be basic, and the service may not be as attentive.

In contrast, the high-end cruises like Ducasse sur Seine and Don Juan II offer a more exclusive and luxurious experience. They provide a fine dining experience with top-quality ingredients and an extensive wine list. The boats themselves are stylish and elegant, offering panoramic views of the city’s landmarks and scenery.

While the high-end cruises come at a premium price, they provide an unforgettable experience that is worth the investment. From the impeccable service to the exquisite food and stunning scenery, they offer a truly unique and memorable way to experience Paris, the City of Love.

Comparing Le Ducasse and Don Juan II

While both dinner cruises offer a similar experience in terms of food and scenery, they have their unique features that make them stand out. Ducasse sur Seine is a modern and contemporary dining experience, with a focus on using the freshest and highest quality ingredients to create dishes that celebrate the essence of French cuisine. Don Juan II, on the other hand, offers a more classic and traditional dining experience, with a menu that features classic French dishes with a modern twist.

Both dinner cruises are priced at the higher end, with prices starting at around €200 per person. However, the experience is worth the price, as it offers a unique and unforgettable way to experience the magic of Paris.

In conclusion, a Seine river dinner cruise is a must-try experience for every foodie visiting Paris. Whether you choose to dine on the Ducasse sur Seine or Don Juan II, you’re in for a treat. From the exquisite food to the stunning views of the city, it’s an experience that you won’t forget. So, book your table now and get ready to savor the best of Parisian cuisine and scenery on a magical Seine river dinner cruise.

Michelin guide’s point of view.

Moored next to Passerelle Debilly, a footbridge spanning the Seine, on the right bank, opposite the Eiffel Tower, the Don Juan II is a magnificent Art Deco yacht, with sumptuous wood panelling and thick carpet. Embark on a 2.5hr-long sightseeing and gourmet cruise, with an outstanding chef, Frédéric Anton, at the helm! He has selected some emblematic creations from Le Pré Catelan (curry-scented crab, langoustine ravioli, warm chocolate soufflé…) with which to indulge his passengers. As you glide down the Seine, dinner is served against the backdrop of the most iconic monuments of the City of Light, with commentary by the crew.

Michelin-star Dining on the Don Juan II Yacht with Chef Frédéric Anton

Luxurious Magazine

Yachts de Paris announces its gastronomic cruise on the Don Juan II Yacht offers one-star Michelin dining. The famous restaurant guide has acknowledged Chef Frédéric Anton, which means the Seine trip is the only one to offer Michelin-star cuisine.

Paris has always been renowned for fine dining and has many Michelin-starred restaurants. A unique experience is now available where you can take in the stunning scenes of Paris while you float along the Seine , enjoying delightful meals made by Frédéric Anton. He has been awarded a star for his cooking on the Don Juan II yacht, making it the first-ever cruise to offer such highly-rated cuisine.

On the menu: A two-hour sailing experience, including a prestigious dinner on the most beautiful avenue in Paris, the River Seine. Frédéric Anton’s cruise spans the stretch of river between the Eiffel tower and the Conciergerie, offering a handful of lucky diners the chance to admire the French capital in all its shining glory, with its offer of gastronomic cruises on the Don Juan II.

At the helm of this legendary yacht, the multi-starred chef creates an intimate experience that reflects his style: subtle and refined cuisine that embodies a perfect harmony between aesthetic beauty and taste.

The boat passing the Eiffel Tower in Paris

The unforgettable cruise combines the cosy atmosphere of a ship from the last century featuring an Art Deco interior with the magical monuments of the City of Light and the best in French gastronomy.

Dedicated to serving delicious, top-quality cuisine to his guests, Frédéric Anton selects seasonal products and concocts his menus to reflect his expertise. And his dedication has been rewarded! His food brings guests together and is served uniquely, reflecting his ambition to make this new Parisian location a pillar in French fine dining.

One of the dishes guests can expect to sample

An example of the seasonal menu is,

  • Fennel Cream and roasted seeds, Dashi flan, Caviar
  • Crab Flavoured with Curry, Grapefruit “Zéphyr”
  • Langoustine Prepared as a Ravioli, American sauce, thin Gold jelly
  • Lamb Pan-fried, Peas flavoured with Nutmeg and “jus gras”
  • Chocolate Warm Soufflé, Pistachio ice cream.

The price per person is 240 Euros.

Indulge in your starter whilst sailing by the Sacre Coeur, devour your fish course taking in the fabulous Notre Dame cathedral, and savour the lamb seeing the Eiffel Tower. As the cruise ends, you finish your dessert and have experienced a fantastic two hours on the Seine.

Frédéric Anton sailing past the Eiffel Tower on the boat

For 25 years, Frédéric Anton has upheld his values of creating “simple, effective and unadulterated” food. As a Meilleur Ouvrier de France and chef at Pré Catelan (three Michelin stars) and Jules Verne (one Michelin star), Frédéric Anton has the opportunity to express the full range of his talent and uphold his high standards here on board the Don Juan II. His leitmotiv is the use of seasonal products due to rigorous sourcing.

This naturalistic approach is perfectly in line with the chef’s values. He has always been committed to total transparency about the origin of his produce, determined to fight against food waste and devoted to allowing the seasons to guide his cuisine, and not the other way around.

This first Michelin star acknowledges Frédéric Anton’s know-how and recognises his entire crew and restaurant team’s effort.

“I am delighted that the hard work of the entire Don Juan II team since the opening has been recognised. This first star in the Michelin Guide underlines our ambition,” said Frédéric.

Best Cruise For Budget Travelers

See Paris like a local by taking the Batobus or “water bus”. You “hop-on and hop-off” at 8 locations along the Seine river, including the Eiffel Tower, the Musee d’Orsay, the Louvre and the Notre Dame Cathedral. The Batobus is not a sightseeing cruise – instead the water bus is public transportation used by Parisians to navigate through the city. For families traveling with young children, the Batobus is an exciting alternative to the Paris Metro.

Batobus stop along the Seine river.

Buy a day pass for 14 or 21 for a week at the Batobus website or at any Batobus stop in Paris. Check the website for schedules. The Batobus runs less frequently in the winter.

Best Cruise To Celebrate An Event

Bateaux-Mouche : Obviously, the intimate atmosphere is ideal for any intimate event -especially those including the word yes. But the main reason we put this here is because they also offer a set including a dinner and a seat for the Parisian cabaret: the Crazy Horse. Two different atmospheres which bring about two different kinds of celebrations.

Best Cruise For A Night On The Town

Tickets to Gourmet Dinner Cruise on Don Juan II

Combine dinner and dancing on a glass-canopied Bateaux Parisians cruise . You’ll enjoy a gourmet dinner including wine and champagne with entertainment by a French band followed by dancing on the intimate dance floor. Pick either a romantic cruise with slow-dancing or a festive cruise rocking on the Seine. The price of the cruise varies from around 70 for an interior table to 188 per person to dine outside under the stars on the bow of the ship.

Spend The Evening On The Most Exclusive Yacht In Paris

An evening experience for a couple sailing on the Don Juan Yacht defies words practically. It feels like time has been suspended since the 1930s. Guests arrive as if members of an exclusive club. As they board, a glass of champagne and appetizers await to start the evening in just the right way. They sit back in the leather chairs in the forward section of the boat or in the aft and enjoy the luxury of the moment.They expect the best food and service served with discretion and professionalism… and they get it. Each night a traditional French gastronomic tasting menu is served with sommelier selected red and white wines.

On board you have the privacy of your own table by a window but at the same time you will feel part of the “in crowd”. Just before dessert is served, the magic happens when you go upstairs onto the large wooden deck and see the twinkling lights of the Eiffel Tower and drink champagne.

Includes: Tasting Menu with Drinks/Champagne Appetizers/ Private transfer to the boat Baccarat Rose/2 glasses of Rose Bolinger Available: On request

Exclusive Wine Tasting prior to boarding: 200 2 hr tour by Vintage Rolls or 3hrs by Mercedes E: 375

Best Paris Seine River Cruises

On our first few trips to Paris, we avoided taking a bateaux-mouche or glass-topped “fly boat” cruise as being “too touristy.” We could not be more wrong. Seeing Paris from vantage point of the Seine River is an experience not to be missed. Cruises run morning, noon and night, but we highly recommend taking an evening cruise. At night, Paris monuments are illuminated with millions of lights reflected on the dancing waters of the Seine. Once you see Paris on an evening cruise, you will understand why Paris is known as the “City of Lights.”

You’ll find Seine River cruises in all price ranges, from expensive private yachts to cheap water buses. There are cruises for all audiences – from children learning about Paris, to honeymooners looking for romance, to “foodies” wanting to combine a gourmet meal at a table with a view of a lifetime. To help you narrow which cruise is for you, we compiled our list of “The Best Seine River Cruises.”

Best Cruise For Fashionistas

If you love the idea of shopping for the perfect Parisian outfit, then wearing it to dinner, combine a Seine river cruise with an elegant night out on a Bateaux-Mouche dinner cruise. Known for its attention to detail and modern restaurant boats, Bateaux-Mouche, meaning “fly boat”, was the first Parisian company to develop glass-topped sightseeing boats in 1949. Dress in your finest and enjoy a gourmet meal made with fresh, local produce and meats as a roving French band serenades you with romantic tunes. Unlike other Seine river cruises, all tables on a Bateaux-Mouche cruise face a glass wall with a dazzling view of the City of Lights.

Modern, glass Bateaux-Mouche or “fly boat”

Since all food is prepared from scratch daily, with advance notice, the chef can prepare you a special meal to take into account any allergies or dietary restrictions you may have. The price for a Bateaux-Mouche dinner cruise starts at 95 per person and includes a bottle of wine for two. Evening attire is required.

Best Cruise For Children

The Bateaux Parisians Enchanted Cruise is a one-hour tour with actors describing the history of Paris in song and stories. Throughout the cruise, two elves, Lila and Philou, engage children by dancing through the aisles and asking silly questions. The cruise in in French, but my English-speaking children could follow along with the elves’s carefree pantomime and singing.

Entertain and Educate Your Child on an Enchanted Bateaux Parisians Cruise.

A Paris institution, the Enchanted Cruise, has entertained over 350,000 locals and tourists over the last 11 years. The price for the Bateaux Parisians Enchanted Cruise is 11 for one adult and one child.

Paris Bastille Day Dinner Cruise

Does anyone have any thoughts on Bastille Day Fireworks cruises? Any personal experiences of what was/was not a good Seine dinner cruise on July 14th. I get the impression that none of them would necessarily be ‘bad’. But I would very much appreciate any feedback anyone has.

Merci Beaucoup

I personally would not consider a dinner cruise as I have never heard of one that has excellent food. But you might consider Bustronome which I have done twice and loved it. The French dont call the holiday Bastille day, but rather la Fête Nationale or le 14 juillet.

You might consider the Alain Ducasse boat. called Ducasse sur Seine . This vessel is covered complete in glass and the views can be exceptional as is the food. Calling now would not be too early to inquire about availability. Dinner on this boat is truly magical anytime but for the Fête nationale, it would be the experience of a lifetime.

Review On Don Juan Ii

The Don Juan II is the latest vessel belonging to the Yachts de Paris group and offers a luxurious dining experience on the Seine. This is an enchanting three hour gourmet dinner cruise and takes in the wonderful Parisian scenery from the Grande Bibliothèque to the Ile aux Cygnes through large picture windows while you dine. There are fourteen tables for two to eight guests in a sumptuous dining room featuring Italian leather furniture and a dinner service by Bernardaud. On the walls are engravings and early paintings of Quai Henri IV, linen curtains by Pierre Frey, armchairs designed by Philippe Hurel and a copper and mahogany bar containing bottles of Château Latour.A special tasting menu is on offer consisting of pre-starters, starter, main course, cheese platter and dessert. Soft jazz music is played on the upper deck where you can enjoy an aperitif or an after dinner drink. This is a very romantic and unique way of experiencing the magical sights of Paris as you sail down the river at night whilst dining on fine cuisine.
