Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

After a long day of bicycling in the pouring rain, we chose Le Bateau Ivre based on a local’s recommendation. The staff were very helpful and spoke excellent English. They helped with the wine, offered helpful tips on the menu and provided great service. My...wife got the fish in a lemon sauce and I got the lamb rack. We also ordered fresh salads, which were wonderful. The entrees were excellent as were thé desserts. Yvoire has lot of nice restaurants and this is one I’d return to.More

Visited here for a quick lunch whilst passing through Yvoire and was not disappointed. Food was perfectly cooked, and very well priced for the quality. I cannot wait to return.

Service was a bit weird and not too friendly (hence only 4 out of 5), but the perche was DELICIOUS! I thought the atmosphere was cool too, sitting outside on the terrace and observing passers-by in the tourist filled street.

We had a great lunch at Bateau Ivre after a nice walk in the medieval village of Yvoire. Fortunately we had booked in advance for our large group. We enjoyed the "L'écorce de sapin" (fondue style dish), as well as the local fish from Geneva...lake. Kids choose from their kids menus, and the parents might have added a glass or two of Gamay even if it was lunch. Desserts didn't disappoint. We received a warm welcome and great service from the team at Bateau Ivre, and kudos to them!More

Our family has eaten at this place twice this week. The fondue is outstanding and the service is very nice. We don’t speak much French, so the fact that many of the staff speak English was helpful.

From the outside it looks cute and when you walk in, you will find a simple but stylish traditional French restaurant. The welcome is always very warm and nothing is too much trouble. We has the fondue Savoyarde, filet de boeuf and warm goats cheese...salad. All were exquisite and prices are around 25% less than other places on the lake. Highly recommended.More

I don’t normally write a review while I’m still in the restaurant - but this is good, in fact very good. My wife and I both had the ‘filets de perche’ for our lunch, while visiting the magnificent medieval village of Yvoire, alongside Lake Geneva....Superb buzz, mostly French clientele. Friendly, tasty hot food - you will not be disappointed.More

First of all Yvoire is a must visit for anyone going to Leman. There is a lot of choice in Yvoire, and as the boats arrive dropping 100s of tourists off choosing a restaurant can be a bit daunting. We chose Le Bateau Ivre, on...the main mediaeval street but without views of the sea. It was fabulous, I’ve never eaten trout like it. Add reasonable pricing, friendly service and a packed lunch time service and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.More

Possibly it's a bit unfair to comment on atmosphere, for Yvoire was surprisingly quiet in the evenings despite it being Easter week. As a result most restaurants weren't open. I had the local lake perch speciality - nothing very remarkable about it. I guess when...the bill comes to €89 for two (including a bottle of pretty ordinary local wine) you expect something a bit more than something that would be well described as "OK, but nothing special"More
