Moored on the banks of the Seine since August 2015, Le Bateau Qui Fume is the latest opening from Californian entrepreneur Kristin Frederick, who also owns and runs the incredibly successful ‘Camion Qui Fume’ food truck. Although this ‘burger boat’ isn’t very flashy (it’s just a van on a barge, with seating space for ten or so), the waterscape behind the serving area is beautifully serene, making this a relaxing spot to come at lunch or dinnertime. Food is much the same as from the nomadic truck (think top-grade chicken and beef burgers, crispy hand-cut chips and otherworldly cheesecakes), and there’s a decent drinks menu too.
You can check out the Bateau’s itinerary on its website.
