    I absolutely enjoyed the meal I had here! Tasty, savory, you can feel the blend of the flavors. I had the daily fish special (grilled swordfish with coconut rice, cauliflower and almonds) I’d return if I’m ever in the city again! There wasn’t a long wait, it took 15-20mins to get our meals. We were seated outside as indoor seating had a long wait. Servers were nice and friendly! Overall: a flavorfully beautiful dining experience!

    This is my third time here. I love the food and the place it self. The only reason I am knocking the score is because the weighted essentially made us order everything at once. If we were able to take our time, we would have had more food and drinks. And we would have been happier too. The shrimp noodle dish was awesome! Nailed it on dessert as well. Fried bread and steak carpaccio are always on point

    People really hyped Peche, and it was delicious but I felt like the service was a bit odd. They brought all of the food at once instead of pacing/coursing it out, which is bizarre for a posh spot. Food was tasty, steak tartar and key lime pie were the stars (funny for a seafood place). Roasted carrots were also amazing but definitely not a healthy veg side- LOTS of butter.

    This place was highly recommended from visitors and locals alike. I found the food both rich and light. The soup and the broth that came with the fish were so tasty and complimented the rest of the food well. The fry bread was also so so good. I had a great beer as well. Such a cool place and hip vibe, definitely want to try other things on the menu.

    The best restaurant in New Orleans. We had an amazing time there and planning to come back soon. Staff were really great and attentive, good wine selection and other drinks. The Drum was just one of the nicest pieces of fish we had, snapper special was extraordinary too. The Tuna crudo is not to be missed! The key lime pie and the carrot cake were just amazing. Anyway, there are no words to say how much you should just go there and have a memorable meal for life.

    Do yourself a favor and come here. Make a reservation for sure. We had to wait just a few minutes for our table, so we sat at the bar and the bartender made the most amazing drink - gintilly shakedown. Even if you only like gin a little, order this!!! So refreshing. When we got to our table, the evening just kept getting better. I’m still dreaming about the fried okra. The gumbo was just good, but compared to everything else, it didn’t stand out. The jumbo shrimp with amazing eggplant was another thing. So. Good. The grilled zucchini wasn’t anything to write home about, BUT I wanted to lick the plate eating the carrot sticky toffee pudding. The vibe is upbeat and not too loud. Tristian and Renee were super attentive and helped us make the best decisions for our lovely dinner. I’d come back in a heartbeat, and you should go now!

    Loved this place. Had hush puppies and fried bread for starters, jumbo shrimp and fish fillets for main and everything was delicious! The rice cake that came with the shrimp was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, just perfect! I tried the blonde ale brewed in New Orleans and it was amazing. The staff all very attentive and nice. Can’t wait to be back!

    The service was very good. The recommendations from our server were exactly what we wanted. I had the baked drum and it was one of the best fish dishes that I have eaten. Also, if the potatoes are on the sides menu I highly recommend them as well. Everyone had great food and the drinks were well done and quite good as well. Will be coming here again!!

    I can’t stress this enough…you should come here. It was incredible. My s/o had the whole fish which was AMAZING. The fried bread was delicious as well. The seafood salad with homemade crackers was delectable. The eggplant with my dish (jumbo shrimp) was the best eggplant I’ve ever had. We sampled the tuna dip and ordered the fried okra which was SO good. If you’re in the arts district this is a MUST. The gentleman that served us was top tier and the service was very quick.

    Peche is always great. The bartender made me a delicious mocktail that I would certainly ask for again... maybe with some white rum next time. Had the Spicy Ground Shrimp noodles and Brussel with chili vinegar. While these were small plates, I had to take to go because i couldn't finish. Clean and tasty. I like sitting at the bar as it seems more of a community. I love colors of decor here as well.

    Excellent food! Definitely am original take on flavor here for the fried oysters and red fish! First time trying sweet potatoes habanero and I’m in love! Not as much kick as I prefer but that flavor is originally remarkable and pleasing to the palate! Atmosphere was beautiful and business is booming! Don’t come here if you expect a quick cheap meal, perfection takes time and Rome wasn’t built in a day! From their exquisite menu to their fabulous drinks I’m completely satisfied with my level of care!

    Easily one of the best restaurants I've visited, and I wish I had listened to the recommendations and gone sooner. I could've been eating their delicious food this whole time. The quality of the seafood and the staff was top notch. I also really enjoyed the vibe of this restaurant. It was casual, relaxing, and had a coastal feel. I would recommend the whole fish and saving up so you can splurge because everything on that menu is worth trying. I'll be back soon.

    Great service. Seafood platter is great value. Can't say I'd recommend the tuna salad but the shrimp and seafood salad were delicious. The oysters were the Louisiana house oysters. They were very basic -- no sediment or brininess. Only IPA on the menu was excellent choice.

    Always a fantastic experience. This place stays busy, but for a good reason. Make a reservation in advance, then come and enjoy the lively atmosphere, great drinks, attentive service, and some of the best modern seafood dishes in the city. The smoked fish dip and raw oysters are always a great bet. The menu is small and curated, so come with a group and try everything, you won’t be disappointed.

    Are waitress was fantastic. She came up to us and told us that we didn't have no time that we were no hurry or he could explain anything that was on the menu if we had any questions. In our group we were already ready knowing what we wanted. I started with dessert first. It was a warm version of a Snickers pie. The beef tartare there's no words explain on how creamy and tasty I was. And the dinner of the day was mackerel with glazed carrots

    We've always wanted to try this restaurant, and we finally did. The service was impeccable and the food was absolutely delicious. Abundant seafood options are on the menu, along with chicken, beef, and vegetarian options. I can't wait to return.

    For the past 2 times me and my family went to New Orleans, Pêche was the highlight of our stay. Every single dish is outstanding. For example, the fried fish fingers were otherworldly. The breading had an amazing flavor and was crunchy and fragile and the fish was tender and steamy. I don’t really have much more to say than to say to just come and eat here.

    Loved this restaurant. We went twice during our stay in New Orleans! Food was very fresh and delicious. Recommend trying the key lime pie.

    Good experience but I find this place is overpriced and overrated. The ambience was live as the place was busy, service was ok and food was good but nothing especial. Any decent wine bottle will cost you more than 80 USD (incl tip).

    What a wonderful place!! If your looking for fresh seafood look no further! / Smoked Tuna Dip was ridiculously delicious / Fried Bread was perfect with a pint of beer / Oysters were the freshest that I tried in all of New Orleans! Boiled Gulf shrimp sounds simple but they were perfect not over and not under! / Gumbo was not as good as the Gumbo shop but it was good. I highly recommend a stop at Peche if your looking for a small or large seafood meal!!

    Wasn't what I really expected from the reviews but I will also fully disclose I am not a huge fan of seafood. I got the chicken sticks and it was alright but mainly went here because I was taking someone our for their birthday and since in New Orleans they really wanted some good seafood. You have to order everything at once which is also kind of silly.. Was for sure hoping for better but not a bad place.

    The oysters were amazing, fresh, and shucked right before they reach your table. We got the cheapest oysters and were blown away by their size! Our favorite appetizer was the crawfish croquettes!! Servers were attentive and friendly. Highly recommended this place for your oyster desires! Everything was reasonably priced.

    You must make a reservation before coming, but great restaurant! The interior and exterior design are very fitting for the area, and the servers are fairly kind. There is a daily menu which makes it a surprise each time you visit. The food is made at a high standard, and the portions are decent. My only complaint was that the fried broccoli was called “crispy broccoli”, so I set myself up for a greasy meal.

    This place was best restaurant I went to on my entire trip and that’s saying something because I ate at some of the best places in town. It checks all the boxes that you are looking for in a great restaurant, great food, great service, and great ambiance! Everything I tried taste delicious (oysters, sushi, hush puppies, baked fish entree) the only thing I regret is not getting dessert….next time I’m in town I won’t make that mistake again. This is a must visit for anyone who likes fine dining.

  • 5/5 Moni B. 5 months ago on Google • 54 reviews
    Excellent food. No doubts about the quality and taste of the food. One of the best restaurants to try in New Orleans. Better to reserve a table before you go. Few things to note is, it’s quite expensive and the quantity is small. We were 4 of us and spend around $160. But you will not regret for paying a little more.

    I recently dined at Pêche in New Orleans, situated conveniently close to the National WWII Museum. Arriving around 2pm, we were greeted with a modest 15-minute wait, which was quite reasonable. The interior of Pêche is both spacious and brightly lit, creating a welcoming atmosphere. We started with their specialty Old Fashioned, which was expertly mixed and set a high bar for the meal. For appetizers, we went with a dozen raw oysters - the Louisiana Area 3 and Alabama Bright Sides. The Area 3 oysters were large and meaty, offering a satisfying chew, while the Bright Sides were smaller and had a pleasantly briny taste. The Steak Tartare was another highlight, impressing us with its freshness and flavor. On the other hand, the Grilled Chicken with Oyster Aioli was a bit too salty for our liking. The Smoked Tuna Dip was enjoyable but lacked the pronounced smoky flavor we expected. The turnips were average, nothing too memorable. For the kids, the Butter Pasta with Parmesan was a safe and satisfactory choice, though it didn't stand out in any particular way. Service was a strong point throughout our meal. The staff was attentive and helpful, ensuring a smooth dining experience. Overall, Pêche provided a pleasant culinary experience, especially for seafood lovers. While not all dishes hit the mark, the quality of the standout items and the overall ambiance make it a worthwhile visit. A solid 4 stars from me!

    We had a table of 8 for dinner on a busy Wednesday night. The food is good and very flavorful. The many service people for our table were all very kind and helpful. It is super loud though, so hard to hold conversations.

  • 5/5 Mandy K. 3 years ago on Google
    Great seafood restaurant. Can tell they use quality ingredients and fresh seafood. We enjoyed the baked drum a lot which had amazing sauce. The spicy shrimp noodles definitely had a good kick.

  • 5/5 Andrew 1 year ago on Google
    Made reservations online and was promptly seated when we arrived. Staff was very nice and friendly. All the food was super fresh and delicious. Great way to end our trip with dinner here.

  • 4/5 Britt M. 2 years ago on Google
    Best seafood dinner we have had in New Orleans. Hands down. Tartar was just wonderful, as was the fish. The only negative was that the Snapper served whole should be handled by the waiters for an easier access. This is just a minor complaint, - and did not put a damper on our wonderful meal.

  • 5/5 Saketh 2 years ago on Google
    We stopped by for a couple small plates before going to our dinner destination and I’m so glad we did. The tartare was rich and delicious and the ground shrimp was perfectly spicy 🌶. It reminded of a spicy shrimp curry I once had in Bangkok. Very impressed!

  • 5/5 Tnscad 9 months ago on Google
    Fantastic service always. Don’t miss this serious long time established restaurant. Chris waited on us and made all the right recommendations. Fantastic selection of affordable wines. And don’t miss desert!!

  • 5/5 Laura P. 2 years ago on Google
    A truly amazing celebratory meal which meant that we indulged. The front of house team effortlessly helped make the night even better being attentive yet discreet. The Very thoughtful inventive dishes, and high quality fresh seafood meant it really stand out amongst the many places in the city where you can get oysters.

  • 4/5 Amy M. 8 months ago on Google
    Pêche is always busy so come early or be prepared to wait. The menu boasts a varying selection of sharable small plates. Personally, I love all the vegetable options as the NOLA diet can add an extra inch or two to the waistline. I say that before admitting that I always get two bowls of seafood gumbo here .... (the bowl is tiny, give me a break). Great service, nice ambience.

  • 5/5 willy w. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place. Liked the decor. Wasn't too busy. Kids not big fans of the selections offered but ended up with butter noodles. Server was very good attentive. Fried bread came out almost at end of meal but still tasted good. Oyster on the 1/2 shell were my favorite. Fresh and good sized. Lemon and a little sauce yummy. The gumbo was good too. The shrimp pasta was also a hit. Overall portion size seemed small but flavor and quality made up for it.

  • 5/5 Dominik B. 9 months ago on Google
    Chilled out bar/restaurant with delicious food offerings. Try the hushpuppies and tuna dip, they are addictive. Make sure you try the Key Lime cake, too. Friendly crew and nice ambience. Top spot in New Orleans

  • 5/5 John P. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great dinner with great service. Very enjoyable meal with attentive service and an eclectic wine list. Table of 6 and everyone's meals were delicious. They should add a vegetarian entre or 2. That is the only mark against this otherwise fine restaurant.

  • 5/5 Joshua S. 1 year ago on Google
    Fancy, expensive, worth it! Amazing atmosphere. Nice staff. Delicious whole fish dinner. Fantastic side dishes such as the excellent carrots and amazing brussel sprouts. Street parking only.

  • 5/5 Katie R. 10 months ago on Google
    The flavors here are unmatched. The best food I've eaten collectively, possibly ever. The noise level is extremely loud but only because it's a busy place!

  • 5/5 Sherry Z. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered steak tartare, catfish, and today's whole grilled fish. The first two are amazing. I really like the steak tartare and even ordered twice. But I personally won't recommend the grilled fish.

  • 5/5 Ana 10 months ago on Google
    Absolutely an incredible spot to get lunch or dinner. We actually ended up going to this restaurant twice on our trip to New Orleans and both times were fantastic. The chef was able to create the most delish vegan meals for myself and my fiancée had some amazing seafood dishes. On our 2nd visit we did unfortunately at first get a pretty non existent waiter but his coworker seemed to have taken over our table towards the end and I’m glad he did because he made our experience a very positive one. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back.

  • 5/5 Javier D. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice flounder fish! Actually, I came twice during 5 days in the city. The Shiny dime Oysters 🦪 a must have, the steak tartar delicious, the Ceviche spectacular. The service was great. I’ll be back when I’m back in the city. Highly recommended!

  • 4/5 Nadia S. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was delicious. Best chicken I ever ate in my life. My shrimp and eggplant dish was also very good. My only complaint was that my cocktail was pretty boring and tasted like juice. I definitely would visit again on my next trip to NOLA.

  • 4/5 Vanessa I. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was amazing. A bit spendy and slow for lunch but worth the experience. I just wish the service had been better. We were there for an hour and a half and I couldn't manage to get a refill on my water or another glass of wine beyond the first I had with the oysters. There was a medical situation outside that was not related to the restaurant that the staff handled flawlessly. That I was really impressed by.

  • 5/5 Gregory B. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent service! Every dish was executed with precision. The bartender was extremely friendly and insightful. His recommendations were top notch. He highly recommended the drum, which had an incredibly flavorful broth. The beets dish and Brussel sprouts were amazing sides. I will recommend this place and revisit in the the near future.

  • 5/5 Prajnawati W. 1 year ago on Google
    I enjoyed my dinner here. I was seated right away when I arrived on time at my reservation time. I ordered seafood platter and Gumbo and both are delicious. Excellent service, quick and polite server even the place is crowded. Highly recommended if you’re in the area.

  • 5/5 Emma M. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything was absolutely amazing. I got the Louisiana Oysters which were the largest oysters I’ve ever had. Main dish was the crawfish pasta & a side of turnips. Treat yourself and a dessert

  • 5/5 sunny s. 2 years ago on Google
    A casual local restauant serving great seafood dishes. Nothing much to say but fresh and best of local!

  • 1/5 John S. 2 years ago on Google
    Practically no food for people who don't eat seafood. Where are the guys that are cooking meat in the pictures obviously they haven't been in the building in a while.They think the hanger is so good it does not need A1 sauce. Even the potatoes were over salted too much Tony's. Grilled chicken grilled fish baked fish maybe they don't have cook that can really cook. No wow factor on the stuff that came to the table. Could have made that at home. First time feeling like a vegan at a steak house. If you hate seafood and are forced to come here keep fighting it. Stinks like oysters too.
