Lahore is all set to welcome its first ever floating restaurant, giving residents and visitors a completely new way to enjoy dining and leisure in the city. The restaurant is being built on Canal near Jallo Mor, off the River Ravi, and construction work started at the beginning of the year.
Construction and Development
The canal has been deepened and widened to make space for the restaurant and to ensure it is safe and stable. The project will stretch along the canal for about a kilometre, and the surrounding areas are being developed into green spaces with picnic spots, walking paths, and lighting so that visitors can enjoy a complete leisure experience.
Design and Dining Experience
The restaurant itself is designed like a multi-storey ship and will offer people beautiful views of the canal while they eat. Although the menu has not been officially announced yet, it is expected to offer a high-quality, family friendly dining experience.
Entertainment and Amenities
Apart from the food, the floating restaurant will be a hub for entertainment, with live cultural performances, music events, and evening shows planned for visitors. There will also be modern facilities like parking, restrooms, and paths with good lighting so everyone can move around safely and enjoy their visit.
Timeline and Investment
This project is planned to open in 2026, and with an investment of several hundred million rupees, it aims to provide a premium leisure and entertainment destination.
Public Excitement
Even before it opens, people are excited about the restaurant, with many looking forward to dining on the water, enjoying the performances, and spending time with family and friends in the landscaped areas along the canal.
Why It’s Special
The floating restaurant is set to become a new landmark in Lahore, offering a unique combination of dining, entertainment, and scenic views that the city has never seen before.
