800 Magazine St

First off, amazing & attentive service. The waiters/waitresses were great at suggesting dishes & came back every few minutes to top off my water. Food - absolutely amazing. The flavors of each component meld so well together & are complex individually. Finished off with a sweet & fresh dessert. 10/10 in my books.

I absolutely loved this restaurant. It was my first dinner on my first day of my first trip to NOLA. The restaurant has a very classy artsy vibe with both bar and dining room seating. The hosts and table servers were very warm and friendly. And there was generally a good vibe all around. The seafood gumbo was very rich and flavorful. The whole grilled red fish with pesto was amazing - it wasn't fishy at all and the skin was so good. The chicken was very juicy and flavorful. I wasn't feeling the brown rice risotto. It was too salty but the greens were good. For dessert I HIGHLY recommend the carrot toffee sticky pudding with vanilla ice cream. It was incredible. The key lime pie was also a hit. Overall, Peche is an excellent place. this would be a restaurant I would definitely return to if I'm ever back.

Wow. This was awesome. Stop checking places to eat and go here. The trifecta!! Service, food, staff. Bingo Bango Bongo

One of the few places I order a whole fried fish for the table. Fantastic seafood dishes set in a modern but comfortable environment very fitting for that NOLA vibe! I also like the fact that it is outside the French Quarter so parking is a bit easier. The staff were friendly and very professional. you can tell they work well as a team. they had one of the best Key lime pies but everything we ordered was great. Highly recommended! Top 5 Seafood dining in NOLA.

3.5 for food, 2 for service. Our waitress did not know how to handle someone with allergies and interrogated her to the nth degree. She then didn't offer any help for ordering and refused to modify the kale salad to put the nuts on the side to accommodate the person who was allergic. I understand that a chef may not want to make modifications but when someone is allergic to nuts, and everything is unexpectedly cooked in peanut oil, it seems like it isn't much to ask to put the nuts on the side to make one dish allergy friendly. It ruined the meal for most of us unfortunately. The fried bread was tasty, as were the hush puppies. The chicken in bbq sauce skewers were delicious. I liked the seasoning on the chicken entree. I also thought the Brussel sprouts were cooked well. My friend disliked the gumbo and the squash was pretty soupy. The potatoes with the steak were great. We didn't order dessert.

I was in town for a convention and staying in the Warehouse District (also where the convention centre is), so I researched restaurants in the area. Peche was the first of 3 placed I tried in this area. It's clearly a popular place with locals; it was packed on a weeknight. The restaurant is helmed by 3 chefs who also run other restaurants nearby (Herbsaint and Cochon). Peche has a rustic, casual vibe and has a regular bar, an oyster bar and a few outdoor tables on the sidewalk. I ordered off both the regular menu and the daily specials menu. I started with the seafood salad, which came with avocado and crisp housemade crackers. The fish sticks were beer battered and served with a ranch-ish dip. My entree choice was the baked drum, a local whitefish, served with greens in a coconut-based sauce with fried sticky rice balls. The fried okra was not slimy, came with a cilantro-based dipping sauce. I finished with the carrot sticky toffee pudding, a cross between a carrot cake and a sticky toffee pudding cake, stopped with pecans and served with cream cheese ice cream. Everything was quite tasty. Service was friendly but perhaps a bit sparse with the crowds. Would recommend,

Amazing food! One of the best steak tartare. Get the baked drum, brussel sprouts, and the key lime pie or the carrot sticky toffee pudding. ALL AMAZING

We had an 830PM reservation but we stopped by at 530 to see if they could accommodate us. Thankfully the hosts were able to seat us promptly. Our appetizers and main course was just fabulous. I was pleasantly surprised that they were offering a variety of oysters from local to Florida!. Their fried sweet and salty bread is a must order! My red fish entree was cooked perfectly and my wife's hangar steak was excellent. If they offer the Thai style broccoli go for it! It is spiced perfectly with a tad bit of heat. They do have an extensive wine and craft cocktail list. The Little Red Corvette mescal cocktail was delicious times 2. Service throughout our visit was phenomenal. From the folks accommodating our walk in to our servers we never lacked for anything. Pro tip: Try them for lunch and order a number of their small plates.

Peche is one of my absolute favorite restaurants in the country, and for good reason. It's the kind of place where their staple dishes shine in the best possible way. The butter balls are an absolute must - warm, pillowy bites of heaven. I'm also a huge fan of their tuna dip, perfectly smoky and rich, and their fish sticks, which take a nostalgic classic to gourmet levels. For those looking to explore beyond these simple delights, their ground shrimp bolognese is a standout dish. It's a great option for pasta lovers who want a seafood twist. The flavors are bold and spicy, and the shrimp adds a fantastic texture. Peche has top-tier seafood and a relaxed vibe. If you're in New Orleans and craving great food without the frills, this is the spot to hit. I can't recommend it enough!

My husband and I had a later reservation but we wandered in earlier in hopes there was a table. We lucked out and were seated outside. The atmosphere was fun and lively but also laid back. Staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Everything we ordered was excellent. We considered ordering a second beef tartare because we enjoyed it so much. The crudo and oysters were fresh and delicious, and we had the baked drum as an entree, also great. We couldn't decide on dessert so we sampled the sticky toffee carrot cake and key lime pie- can't decide which was better!

I came here with my husband on a vacation to New Orleans, which has always been a bucket list trip. We decided to try this place based on a recommendation and it didn't disappoint even though we didn't have much planned in the business district. We ordered different dishes and split everything, starting with the savory and smoky tuna dip - simple but excellent. Their roasted carrots side, catfish and shrimp with pasta were really delicious. It's cool and modern inside, a little loud and bustily but we really enjoyed ourselves and would recommend this place to others. The food was quite memorable.

Recommended to us by locals and it did not disappoint! We ordered a couple appetizers, three entrees, and two desserts. Everything was made to perfection. The steak tartare was by far my favorite appetizer. It was the perfect combo of fresh, zesty, and buttery. Generous slice of bread as well, could not recommend more. We were also big fans of the oysters, which were very reasonably-priced. All entrees were delicious as well, although I could've passed on the pasta next time. The whole fish was tender and juicy and the brussel sprouts had a sweet glaze to it. Waiting staff were very kind and attentive and the interior of the restaurant was well decorated. I cannot not say enough how out of the world the desserts were. We decided on the key lime pie and sticky toffee pudding. Both were so so delicious. Would definetly recommend anyone to give them a try

First time here for a lunch meeting... Great establishment... Great service... I ordered the gulf shrimp which is the shrimp cocktail and I had the gumbo.. small sized than normal gumbo but it was good. Plenty of seafood options on the menu I want to try next time I'm in town.. It wasn't crowded and got seated immediately.

We FINALLY got to try Pêche recently; the restaurant saved to my Yelp collection the longest. It did not disappoint! Reservations seem hard to come by for this place and we were only able to snag a 5:30p rez. They seated us in a two person half booth table. Hopefully you don't mind being close to others because it was certainly cozy. The place has a very comfortable, quiet bustling feel to it. We got a couple of cocktails and ordered a dozen oysters to start. They came with cocktail sauce, their house made vinegar mix, and crackers. For entrees we decided to get the grilled tuna and the grilled fish (pompano) to share. We're big steak people so we don't often get fish but my goodness it was so delicious and tasty. Never had pompano before but I'm willing to have it again. The Brussels sprouts and fried okra were well cooked too. The tuna was seared very nicely, loved the side that came with it. Honestly, the oysters were so good that we ordered another half dozen of the Florida ones midway through our dinner with a glass of Riesling. Finished off the dinner with their key lime pie. No complaints there, it was definitely a classic. All in all, we really, really loved this place. It made us reconsider why we don't eat fish more often in the city. Worth every penny!

Greatly enjoyed lunch here with gumbo and the crispy rice kale salad. My friends tried the Thai noodle dish. A close walk to the convention center another friend had oysters here which were very reasonable and tasty Service was friendly and attentive. Ambience is beautiful.

Great for an elevated casual lunch. It's clean, bright, and food is excellent. Servers are knowledgeable about the menu and can recommend oysters based on your preferences! Happy we visited.

I love this restaurant. I cannot believe I haven't reviewed it before now. After several visits, I can say that it is my go to restaurant when I'm in downtown Nola. I enjoy sitting at the bar with any of their amazing cocktails and the smoked tuna dip. I cannot think of a single thing we have ordered that I wouldn't order again. The service is typically friendly and quick. The ambiance is comfortable (casual??) upscale without being pretentious.

Words do not do this restaurant justice. If you are in New Orleans I definitely recommend trying to stop in. The service is phenomenal. All the staff is knowledgeable about their products and food. They accommodated my food allergies which is a big win. We ordered a lot of food. We were told to try as much as we could so we did. I was very surprised at our final bill and how reasonable it was for the quality and amount of food. The restaurant was well decorated and wasn't too loud. Definitely wish I would have brought my camera with me here. We will for sure be back.

The food wasn't bad but the service was the issue. One of the servers spilt oily juice from one of the dishes into and on the outside of my bag. We had just came from a conference nearby and my conference bag had multiple items (handouts, books, etc.) and I had even placed my side bag/satchel in there so that I can just stow it away altogether. The oil went on several items but a good chunk on the sling of my bag. Maybe it was also gaslighting or not, but I overheard and saw some of the staff note that they spilt the dish on my items. I asked the waitress for another napkin because I was trying to wipe off the oil from the strap of my side bag in which I even mentioned that they spilt inside the bag. Nothing; no acknowledgement and no apology whatsoever. The next part was they asked if we wanted to end the lunch with a birthday dessert. We thought it was one of those complimentary birthday desserts but it wasn't as we saw it on the bill. I ended up telling the staff as we were walking out in which they asked if I wanted to speak with a manager. I declined because if there wasn't anything being done by multiple staff prior, then what was going to change. Anyways, the food wasn't bad. It had flavor but salty and it was decently sized. I think things could've been better but it is what it is on this. We were recommended by many people to come here but I'm not too sure that I would say that I recommend it. Also, they had small bugs going around the table. (Check last photo) it could've been gnats but I wasn't going to investigate.

Peche was so fun! Unfortunately our party of 3 did not have reservations when we arrived on Halloween for dinner but we were able to be seated at the bar. Our bartender Sam was so awesome to help us decide between drinks and food to share. The gintilly cocktail was really good, not too strong and not too sweet. All of our food was delicious, especially thr steak tartar. Highly recommend!

Peche was excellent, and the best meal I had on a recent trip to New Orleans. We visited for lunch on a Sunday and the restaurant was packed, but it was also a very busy weekend in town. All of the dishes were very good to excellent. The fried oysters ($19) came 6 to an order and had an excellent cornmeal fry. The roasted pumpkin with mushrooms ($10) also excellent. The baked drum with coconut, greens, and sticky rice ($34) was an unusual dish. It was served in a lot of broth and with the sticky rice formed into balls. We were initially interested, then we saw it on the table next to us and shied away from it because it looked weird, but the table overhead us and said it was delicious. We went for it, and we agree. This dish was great. We also got the fish of the day (I forget the type of fish) that came with chickpeas and greens ($26); also good, but not as stand out as the drum. To finish, we had a very nice salted peanut pie ($14) and they comp'd us a round of champagne due to our special occasion. To drink, we kept it modest with a beer ($5) and cider ($11). Our waiter said the cider was dry, but not really -- it was as sweet as most US ciders, so not really what we wanted. But that was a minor quibble. Service was solid and ambiance was very nice, with an open, airy, rustic chic restaurant. In all, a great meal and good value.

Fantastic, Roman ambience. Excellent customer service and delicious food. Absolutely recommend!

Ok, here's the update: Came on a Wednesday for lunch and now I'm here for a lite dinner on Friday to get the Crispy Okra, Seafood Gumbo, and the Rum Cake. Im so glad I came back because I devoured my small dinner and now I'm about to get my sweet tooth satiated. Aww... this may be the number restaurant of my NOLA experience! It's the only place a visited twice! They are making some quality eats over on Magazine!

The food here was great. Get the shrimp. It was the best. The service was by far the best I have seen. Four different servers came and checked on us throughout the night. Never did we need anything. Very attentive. It was also a very nice and comfortable restrestaurant.

After hitting up Ralph's on the Park and Commander's Palace, we were glad to finally eat at a restaurant like Peche (which prepared the seafood we ordered well). Drinks were strong but well-balanced. The tuna carpaccio, steak tartare and hush puppies were delicious. We also ordered a whole Tuna and it was prepared very well. The only downfall were the desserts - couldn't finish any of them because they were a mess. Solid food and service means we will be back, sans desserts.

While visiting NOLA, I kept hearing about this restaurant. Even on the plane, someone mentioned they were headed here! We made reservations a week in advance, which was smart because this place is super popular. The service was fantastic, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I started with a hibiscus margarita, which was absolutely delicious. For starters, we shared the best hush puppies I've ever had and some amazing Brussels sprouts. Honestly, the starters were better than the mains. I got the spicy shrimp pasta, thinking it would be perfect based on the photos. Sadly, it was too salty and lacked the heat and flavor I was expecting. A bit of a letdown. Still, I definitely recommend this spot--just skip the pasta! The dessert was incredible and definitely made up for it. The rum cake with ice cream is an absolute must!!

This is my second time to this restaurant in a couple of years and the experience keeps on improving. It was good before, but now it's excellent. The place is packed on a Monday night and the decor is kind of an industrial chic. We ordered a couple appetizers and a main. I really loved the smoked tuna. It was out of this world and the oysters were delicious. Our waiter was wonderful with helping us make the right choices. I will definitely come back here again and it's a fun crowd. The atmosphere is more hip and casual than some of old established restaurants in New Orleans, but still upscale. It's definitely a must if you visit New Orleans and enjoy the wonderful seafood that New Orleans offers

Staff were super friendly and accommodating! The gumbo has a mole taste to it, the ceviche was delicious especially with the coconut BUT came without chips or anything else to eat it with, the smoked trout dip was underwhelming. The bar was lively, so maybe go for drinks but I think you can find better dinner options .

This is my favorite restaurant in New Orleans. Whether for a working lunch, a casual seat at the bar, a group dinner, or an intimate date night Peche delivers. Nowhere else do you find such a great fusion of seafood, cajun influence, and Asian flavors -- and all done to perfection. My favorite approach is to order a handful of small plates. The main dishes are great, but taking the small plate approach you can sample a wider range of unique and incredibly creative dishes. The crab rice, shrimp noodles, and catfish are some of my favorites. The team is friendly, approachable, and has great recommendations if you aren't sure how to navigate the options.

10/10!!! I can't describe how amazing this food was, I'm still reminiscing about it lol. I stumbled across this place in search of some good appetizers and drinks, and got just that! I ordered the Spicy Ground Shrimp& Noodles (+ the best kick to it), the zesty Brussel Sprouts, and the Brabant Potatoes. They had a great wine selection as well. This place was packed which tells you everything you need to know lol.

This is likely the best meal we've had in a long time. Truly epic and we feel so lucky that we made a reservation to eat here. We decided to order almost every small plate and share with a large group of us. Once the food came, all conversation stopped, save for a few Mmmms and ahhhhs. Seriously. Delicious. Food. We can't stop talking about it and are trying to recreate favorite dishes at home. Dessert...don't even get me started, but that peanut pie haunts my dreams and I'm ready to call the restaurant and beg the recipe. So so SO GOOD!

On every trip I save the most anticipated restaurant for my last dinner. Peche was it this time- already on my list prior to arriving in New Orleans but further validated by many locals I encountered throughout my time, and I can now see why. It's an elevated atmosphere in there, but no-frills or pretension. Service is excellent and attentive. The food was fantastic- my server's recommendations did not miss. I'd never think to opt for what I thought was a simple smoked tuna dip (served with plain Saltine crackers) but it was perfection and probably one of my favorite parts of the meal. All oysters were delectable (for 1/2 dozen you can opt to get 2 each of 3 choices) as was the crab pasta recommendation off the specials menu. And I of course had to try the seafood gumbo here. Dessert also at the recommendation of staff was the peanut butter pie; I opted for this along with the suggested Amaro Averna pairing and it was THE perfect way to end not only the night but a wonderful solo trip to NOLA.

Pêche is the perfect place to share plates. The salsa verde on the fish was AMAZING! Smoked tuna dip served with Saltine Crackers was gone before we ordered our meal. Highly recommended. Not pictured: freshly shucked oysters

This is a cool restaurant. I started with some Alabama admiral oysters. They were so deeply flavorful. Thick, fresh. Briny. Creamy Meaty. I had the very lovely by-the-glass Sancerre - a complex and interesting set of flavors including lemon, and pear. Baked drum corn squash coconut cashews was next. This flavor is Philippines-influenced - interesting and tangy. Lots of good going on here. I ended with key lime pie. The piece was not too sweet and tangy - just right. Casa Noble Reposado was recommended on the menu to go with the pie. The drink was a great accompaniment Smooth. Sweet affect. Translucent green. Aaron was very hospitable and helpful.

This restaurant was recommended to us by two different friends (who don't know each other). As a result, we were excited to try it and it didn't disappoint. In fact, in the six days we were in New Orleans, we ate here twice (and it was the only place we repeated at). We tried virtually 50% of the menu and it was all terrific: great flavors with excellent execution. Our favorites were probably the kale salad (which was the only dish I think we ordered twice) and the spicy ground shrimp and noodles. If we came again, we'd order the whole fish entree; and we will definitely come again.

I really struggled to like this place. I saw crazy good reviews and even went on Reddit for suggestions on where to get good quality food in New Orleans. But this was just not the place for me. I didn't make a reservation but was lucky to get a spot. Let me just say I appreciate the creativity needed to have fusion unique food but one dish in particular was just odd. The flavors didn't mesh well. Also I did this to myself knowing the price of the foods but wow the portions are so tiny. Again like at their sister restaurant my dad refused to order for himself and we ate a few dishes feeling uncomfortable because clearly it wasn't enough to properly feed anyone but to order a main for everyone you'd have to be super wealthy and willing to spend that on tiny portions. I can't. This was a huge pass for me.

It had been a long time since I last dined at Peche and shame on me for taking my sweet time to go back. The atmosphere was vibrant, the service phenomenal, and the food unforgettable. Peche deserves to be recognized as one of the Top 10 Restaurants in New Orleans as it led by Ella Brennan Award winning chef, Donald Link and James Beard award winner chef, Ryan Prewitt.

Great food!! We got the spicy shrimp pasta, Brussels spouts and fried fish. All were amazing and would highly recommend recommend but the Brussel sprouts will be something i will be dreaming about. I wish i wasn't so full because the desserts looked good.

My girlfriends and I were visiting from Colorado and this place was walking distance for us. I'm glad we decided to stop in because we visited twice on our trip. The ambiance was nice and it wasn't too loud. Our servers for both visits were knowledgeable, very kind and the dining experience was never rushed. Which is appreciated. The food was so amazing. You can tell every dish was thoughtfully composed and fresh. I would make it a point to visit if I'm ever back in New Orleans

Went here with friends and family to celebrate a screening of our film during Essence and really enjoyed our experience. The drinks were really nice, by the time I got there my friends already had 2 rounds of their espresso martinis! I once lived in Rome so my standard for Italian food is pretty high. Their pastas and meatballs meet all of our needs. I highly recommend if you're looking if a great balance of brine, food and wine.

Food was really good! We ordered Gumbo, Spicy Ground Shrimp noodles (we recommended by many) and a fish dish with some orzo salad and some potatoes with Cajun spice. The Gumbo was a 4/5 for me - it was lukewarm at most but the flavor was pretty good. The shrimp noodles were pretty good. Extremely different but super tasty. The noodles were amazing too. Cooked perfectly. The fish had a great flavor but was a bit over cooked and the orzo salad was very tasty and refreshing. Highly recommend getting the potatoes. They were suggested as a plate to share from the waiter. Really tasty. The highlight of the night was without a doubt the dessert! Omg it was SO GOOD! (salted peanut pie) Our waitress said it was her favorite thing on the menu and it was definitely WORTH IT. SUPER TASTY and not overly sweet. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I have to say that the service was slow. We got one waiter at the beginning and towards the end, the waiter got a big party and without saying anything we got a new waitress. She was lovely so no complaints, but it was strange. Seems like they were understaffed? But we are visiting so I'm not sure if that's just how they do business. Also worth pointing out the place is quite loud so if you are not into that, take this into consideration. Overall, pretty good experience and good food.

Delicious with a great vibe!! Came with a group of six so we ordered many dishes to share. Definitely had to get the whole red fish as our main entree along with the skirt steak. Also ordered pretty much all the roasted veggies on the menu (beets, carrots, squash, turnip), the kale salad, ceviche, grilled tuna, and I'm missing some things I'm sure. There wasn't a bad dish and all the flavors were unique, cohesive, and delicious. This was a wonderful choice for a first meal while in New Orleans and definitely set the bar high!!

This is our second time visiting peche . We had the whole fish, the ground shrimp, pasta, and the chilled shrimp. We also had drinks. My husband had a beer and I had sparkling wine. Both were very tasty. The food was 10 out of 10. The service was great and the ambience was nice. It was a great vibe and we will return for sure

Vibes were good! Started off with the tuna dip and tuna crudo w chili oil. I liked the tuna dip and using the sauce from the crudo on top of it. Added a nice kick. The whole grilled fish had so much meat, it was a lot for the three of us. I really liked the hushpuppies, you can taste the spices they added in and it was nice and fluffy inside while being crunchy outside. Nice place to check out!

I would've given this place 3 stars had the bartending staff been professional during our meal, this was the biggest drawback to our lackluster experience here. 1. There were 5 people behind the bar but they were so distracted (with eachother and off duty employees at the bar) and unprofessional it ruined the vibe for us paying customers. There's nothing like having to flag down a bartendar to get a drink when there are 5 standing right in front of you but completely ignoring the paying customers. 0/10 2. Food is extremely overrated and overpriced. Absolutely nothing to write home about and we tried several items. 4/10 3. Cocktails were meh - not bad but not spectacular. Of course that service part really ruined it. 1/10

Came in around 6:45p on Wednesday night and were seated nice away. The inside was a bit dim, and it felt like a nice little date night spot. We ordered the smoked tuna dip and tuna crudo to get things started. The tuna dip was well seasoned and topped with some paprika and served with saltine crackers. The tuna crudo was decent, on the smaller side for sure. Each piece was topped with green onions, a chilli oil, and almost something crunchy like a preserved veggie. Very interesting since the brussels were also Asian inspired, served with some kimchi sauce. The hush puppies were the most pleasantly surprising dish! My two friends have never had it before, and these were great. They looked kind of like a falafel on the inside and out, but they were supper yummy especially when paired with the sweet honey butter. The fish was also ginormous! We couldn't even finish it. It tasted great with the sauce that tasted like a well made chimichurri.

I know it's easy to find a good meal in Nola, but this restaurant is special. I've eaten here a few times with a large group. We share plates, so got to taste a lot of different options. Every single one was delicious Nom nom

My first dinner in New Orleans and mannnnn was it an amazing one! First thing I must say is it was extremely busy. I had to wait at the bar to find an opening, luckily I was alone and was able to get a seat within 5 minutes. I loved the look of the bar and all of the paintings on the wall gave it a nice touch. Started the night with a Negroni that was perfectly made. Bartenders were very welcoming, I guess it's that Southern hospitality that everyone is talking about. Started with the seafood Gumbo and the fish sticks which were CATFISH STICKS!!! I honestly could eat the Catfish sticks every single day for the rest of my life and be thrilled! They were SOOOOOOO GOOD!!! Easily one of my favorite appetizers now. Gumbo was great but nothing compared to those Catfish sticks. Next I went with the Baked Oysters and you guessed it MORE CATFISH!!! The Catfish with greens was absolutely delicious, but with some HEAT to it. I believe it had some chili broth or something but it was a little fiery. The baked oysters were INSANE as well. It's like Peche can do no wrong I swear. I love any place with small plates so I can try ALL the things. Ended the night with the little red corvette and I loved every drop. Didn't have any space left so I took the Salted Caramel Cake to go and enjoyed it from my hotel room. Honestly, I've heard amazing things about the food in New Orleans and this lived up to the hype and exceeded my expectations! Will ABSOLUTELY do everything in my power to come back soon!

Restaurant has a great vibe and very creative menu. We enjoyed the red fish cerviche, kale rice salad (sounds unusual but so good), roasted pumpkin and shitake mushrooms-also not your usual dish and so flavorful, gumbo-was very good but room for improvement, and hush puppies. If back in town definitely worth a return visit
