Lahore is set to introduce its first-ever floating restaurant on the Lahore Canal near Harbanspura. The Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) has allocated Rs. 350 million for the project, which will include a floating dining boat alongside additional recreational facilities.
These will feature seating areas, cafes, and dedicated play zones for children, transforming the canal area into an attractive leisure spot. To bring the project to life, the PHA has shortlisted three firms—Babar & Co, HRD Construction, and Riyaz Enterprises—for its construction.
Alongside the floating restaurant, the PHA plans to revamp an underutilized picnic site in the same area, to attract more visitors and make it a popular destination.
The engineering team at PHA has crafted a comprehensive plan to breathe new life into the canal area, creating an inviting space for families and tourists.
The floating restaurant promises diners a memorable experience, blending scenic views with open-air dining. Locals have expressed excitement, seeing it as a refreshing departure from traditional dining venues, offering a closer connection to nature.
