Amidst the bank of the Hooghly river, this floating restaurant is one of its kind. One of the most noticeable aspects of this place is the sublime view of the river from the restaurant itself. Now coming to the food, really loved each and every dish I've had, especially the Ceaser Salad and the Mac N Cheese. The quantity as per the price point is absolutely worth. Hence, it's highly recommended to come here and experience the vibe.

Atlast a evening time we visited the Riviére Habitat also known as Joloshree. This is the only fine dine floating restaurant on the river Ganges in Hooghly District. This sitting area has two parts. One indoor which is movable like luxury boat and another open air jetty. Ambiance was attractive. We had ordered Shami kebab, Crispy chilli garlic fish, Chicken burnt garlic fried rice, Fish in black pepper sause, hot garlic chicken and Darshan with ice-cream. All items were good to taste, worthy according to quantity and price. Staff's were professional and cordial. Overall good experience and recommend to all.

The luxurious Joloshree floating restaurant in Chandannagar was inagurated by the Hon'ble Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee. Historically the Ganga that flows by Chandannagar is witness to several battles, bloodshed and trading prowess of ancient Bengal. Planned and taken forward by the Department of Tourism, Government of West Bengal, the new Boat Restaurant, Joloshree, will thus remind of the rich cultural heritage of this area and of Bengal at large. It will be stationed at a jetty beside the historic Chandannagar Strand. A cultural collaboration and revival of the river in this region based on the idea of Heritage Cruise Tourism will add an advantage to this circuit. The restaurant boat is of 33 m length, 4.87 m in breadth and 1.40 m in depth. The engine is 160 P.S. with a speed of 6 knots. Around 48 persons can occupy the restaurant at a time and hence can be booked for small get togethers. We spent the New year Eve 2024 there. Let me tell you that it was an amazing experience. The service is very nice. And the food was good too but I think it's somewhat overpriced. The ambience of this place is just wow. Must go there.

Located very near to the Chandanagore ferry ghat and The Strand, the ambience of the restaurant is excellent. As we went there after attending an invitation in the afternoon, we only had freshly brewed coffee which was served with some delicious cookies. The ambience of the restaurant is excellent and with a good view of ganges. It is a must visit place for romantic couples especially in the evenings. We would definitely taste other available items next time we visit the restaurant and provide review of the same.

A lovely restaurant on the Ganges with not very many seats… so if u go late be ready for long wait … as they do first come first serve after u go there .. no reservations are taken .. the food is terrific and if next level good .. it’s fresh and very very tasty .. spice levels are high so pls be warned .. the prices are a bit high but it’s totally worth it.. since it’s in chandonnnager we can spend a day strolling around after lunch and make a day of it ..
