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.

Dirty people will go there and make canal dirty….. We cannot keep Hunza clean how come canal be kept clean
I like it …. Park and horticulture authority good initiative
350 million is too much for pathetic and unneeded project. Waste of money.
Good initiative
350 million 🤨
Kya hum Gareeb mulk hain 🤔
Let’s polite the canal even more.
Lahore could have a seasonal floating restaurant briefly on its flooded roads during monsoon. The leaders are still insulated from sufferings of the common man. This hefty amount could have been spent on healthcare or some other better cause. The people who float ideas of such shiny, useless projects are the ones who have got everything. For them luxuries of life mean everything. The common man’s requirements are different.
350Million pkr is cheap like 3 crore 50 lakh but doesn’t make any sense to choose such a place.
350 millions they are having for this project but not for facilities their country bullshit project waste of money.
