What User likes about Le Bateau Ivre:
Really sweet ambience for brunch! The food was good, and it felt comfortable, and the staff was warm and welcoming? they seemed slightly understaffed, but the service was still efficient. Also for Berkeley the food was very expensive. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Le Bateau Ivre:
Half of menu was Italian cuisine, and quality was much lower then expected. No balance, too salty. Probably restaurant was sold and they need a new staff and chef. Also we recorded rat just outside our window, which was looking for entrance through their side door? View all feedback.

Stunning throwback to a kinder, gentler era of slower food and drink, and nicer people, Le Bateau Ivre, has a purity of intention, that dates back to the culina...

I'm disappointed to learn that this restaurant won't be closing permanently. The food was quite unappetizing.

I love Bateau Ivre on Telegraph. It has been my go-to spot since 1964. It's truly disheartening to see that it still appears to be closed. The food has always.....
