800 Magazine St

Service was very good. Max made excellent recommendations based on a couple of dishes we mentioned we wanted to try. We shared the ceviche, ground shrimp with noodles, eggplant, zucchini, baked drum and carrot sticky toffee pudding. The eggplant was amazing! Not sure what magic is done to make this dish so incredible. All of the food was delicious and memorable. Definitely leave room for the carrot sticky toffee pudding. Prices were very reasonable.

My friends and made reservations at Pêche during Essence festival weekend. When we arrived they immediately seated us. The staff were welcoming and friendly! We ordered the raw oysters , which came with a ginger mixture that added a little extra to them. Potatoes, which were fried to perfection, crunchy on the outside and soft inside. Brussel sprouts which were flavorful. My friends ordered the steak, unfortunately I didn't try it. Lastly, ordered the whole red fish, which was amazing!! I will definitely be going back! If you're in downtown this is a must try restaurant.

Usually one of my favorite restaurants when visiting Nola Our most recent visit was a little disappointing Our favorite dish the baked drum was right on as always, although a little less flavorful than normal. The fish special was cobia which was OK Service was slower than normal Although still excellent just need to temper my expectations a little blue

Incredible! Upscale casual vibe, definite class. The wait staff was excellent, informative, and knowledgeable with on point recommendations. Max was truly attentive and provided the same great service to everyone around me! And then the food. The Tuna Cordo, rich and flavorful while maintaining the lightness of raw tuna. They are known for the Baked Drum and on Max's encouragement I ordered it not knowing quite what to expect. And I was NOT disappointed!! The drum was light, flaky and flavorful with a perfect cajun season, the broth was incredibly rich and savory. A very well balanced dish. Oh and when they tell you to not touch the cast iron bowl...BELIEVE THEM!!! I finished my meal with the Salted Caramel Cake which is simultaneously rich, creamy, and light all at the same time. Over all I loved these offerings and felt that these dishes strike a beautiful balance between the rich flavorful sauces, while preserving the delicate nature of the fish.

Overall a pleasant experience. Team was incredibly warm and informative about order of service and menu items. Delivery of entrees came about 30 minutes after appetizers & drinks which felt a little long but it was pretty busy for a Tuesday night. Absolutely loved the baked drum and fried bread! Decor matched the theme and the low lighting made the meal feel more elevated. Street parking available and reservations recommended!

It's been a couple of years since I've dined at Pêche, and it's even better now than I remembered. I had the crab rice and it was Heavenly!! It's a dish with amazing layered flavors! Crab, cheese, coconut, rice. Goodness! It was so danged good! My husband had the crab capellini. Another huge hit! Delicious! We also had the ceviche and a tomato salad. Stellar. I can't neglect to mention the fantastic serifs we received. Our server was so sweet and bubbly! I can't wait to return.

This place came highly recommended by some New Orleans locals, for best seafood in the city for fine dining. My friend and I stopped by on a Friday night with a reservation, prior to heading out for dancing and music. We ordered the fish of the day which happened to be redfish, this was my first time having that it was a whole red fish grilled. Seasoning was top notch, it was falling off the bone. It was moist. It was crunchy in all the right parts, just seasoned very well. I also ordered the brussels sprouts, shrimp toast and crab fried rice, which were really great and we ordered oysters as a starter. We had some drinks too, really, great, really casual. But fine dining eating. Service was okay, just in the instance of us having a reservation and still had to wait.

Omg I love this place! The fish is so fresh the food was amazing! The ahi tuna was so good and the steak tartare was so well seasoned and delicious! The crab pasta was so good and oysters just so tasty! Service was great and the place is upscale without being too over the top. Definitely a spot to return to!

Peche was delicious!! The steak tartar is one to try, it's fresh and well seasoned on a slice of toast. The crawfish capellini had a tiny hint of spice to it that balanced out the seafood taste of it and was so good, I just wish it was an entree size! Everything we ordered here came out hot and quick! I would recommend a reservation if you plan on coming for dinner (note there is a cancellation fee though!! So be sure about your plans first!) There's a lot of seating with large bay windows but just the lighting inside can be a little dim, but overall it was cozy and most of all the food was delicious.

Probably one of the best restaurants I have been to in New Orleans. I can still taste some of the delicious food. I went for dinner with a small group on a Saturday night. The restaurant was pretty packed for an early-ish dinner (and continued to get super packed). Definitely make a reservation (I believe that the dinner times get booked pretty quickly). I love the rustic feel of the restaurant, very farm to table. Our waiter was prompt and super nice (really wish I got his name) and was able to answer all of the questions about the dishes. I started off with a cocktail (I got a gin based drink which I forgot the name of), which was pretty decent. Not overly sweet, which I really liked. We then decided to share a few snacks to start. My favorites were the fried bread and fried oysters. I also tried a few oysters off the raw bar, which was really good and fresh. Definitely recommend to try a few items off their raw bar. A slight miss for me was the smoked tuna dip, which I thought was a little too salty. However, the entrees were the highlight for me. I was able to try the whole fish and ribeye. Both so good!! However, if you are with a smaller group, I would opt for the fish. The fish was so tasty and cooked to perfection and sauce complimented the fish perfectly. I finished the meal with a few dessert (key lime pie and salted caramel cake). Both were pretty good, but would opt for the salted caramel cake. Definitely will come here again next time in NOLA. Great food, great staff, can't ask for anything better.

We had been told this was a locals favorite and it was hopping on a weekend night. Loved the high energy atmosphere. They specialize in seafood with a southern flair and the daily specials list is the way to go. I tried drum fish for the first time and it was perfectly cooked. We also enjoyed the various veggie sides - particularly the sweet potato balls and the crunchy fried broccoli. Service was very polished and our server even brought out a little champagne toast as we were celebrating a birthday. You will need a reservation - this is a popular spot.

A New Orleans favorite for a reason! An homage to seafood of all shapes and sizes. Great vibes in a hip part of town. Friendly service. Delicious bites--lots of small plates to share between a table full of friends. On my most recent visit, the highlight was the crawfish cavatelli pasta. Other really enjoyed the croquettes and the seafood entrees. If you're a fan of New Orleans style seafood, Pêche is a worthy restaurant to add to your list!

Came here with a friend on my first trip to NOLA. We sat at the bar and had to stalk seats to finally get 2 together. This place is super popular! Make a reservation early! The food was delicious, and the ambiance was lively on a Thursday night. It's a fun place to go to, and the food won't disappoint!

This place is wonderful. I've been here many times and the seafood never disappoints! The restaurant is pretty laidback for the quality of food that you get, there is no stuffy feeling at all and you can dress casual without feeling out of place. The restaurant is always busy and there's plenty of bar-seats. I came here the other night and the staff were all so friendly and attentive. My only complaint is the food can take awhile to come out. But overall this place is amazing, and their carrot cake toffee pudding is one of the best desserts I've ever had.

I've had Pêche on my list for years - finally got there. Called ahead of time to find out what the wait was like. The receptionist was amazing, so positive and polite gave us advice on how to get in and it worked. Busy week with Tales of the Cocktail going on. The oysters were fabulous and our red fish was amazing. Our server was excellent and well versed. Would go back any day.

One of my favorite places I dined at in NOLA! I had a short wait at the bar and then was seated fairly quickly. The atmosphere was great - I was dining alone as I had extended after a work trip but it seemed like it was mostly groups and lots of special events - birthdays, etc. Staff was incredibly friendly and the server was very attentive and checked in on me often! I started with some oysters and then had the steak tartar. I also got the squid ink capellini which was amazing. All the dishes were so good and I was so full at the end of the meal. I had trouble with dining out on my NOLA trip as I tend to cook at home mostly and am used to California's fresh health conscious style of cooking so meals in NOLA felt a bit too salty, greasy, and heavy for my taste. However, I did not have this experience at all at Peche so it was a nice relief!! The restaurant is in a nice neighborhood with lots of other more high end restaurants nearby - had a nice little walk after dinner which was enjoyable as well!

Make reservations. This place fills up by 5:30pm, so you won't be able to walk in and get a table unless you come before 5pm or after 9pm. The vibe is an interesting mix of wooden furniture and maritime art. Suitable for any kind of occasion. A lot of light streaming through glass walls. Service was a bit of an overkill and the reason this was 4/5 star experience for us. My boyfriend is unflappable but even he commented how we couldn't relax and enjoy our experience. Staff were constantly hovering and checking in. Every few minutes. It's impossible to relax and enjoy when someone is always hovering over you. Food was fresh and tasty. Would return to try more on my future trips! $14 gulf shrimp were chilled and served with classical shrimp cocktail sauce. The shrimp were meaty and very fresh. Slightly sweet flesh. Quality catch. $29 jumbo shrimp with sticky rice cake and veggie medley in coconut sauce were delicious. Every piece on the plate paired well. This is a sweet & savory flavor profile that will appeal to most. The sautéed kale, sweet squash, and turnips were bright and complemented the simple sticky rice cake. Shrimp were delicate and fresh. Sweet. The coconut broth/sauce brought all the ingredients together well. $34 baked drum with leeks in soy sauce and five sweet potato balls was tasty but not as much of a standout as the jumbo shrimp dish. Baked drum was delicate in flavor and texture. Sautéed Leeks and cabbage gave the tender fish a necessary crunch. The sweet potato was mixed with rice flour, and shaped into balls that were pure gluten. This wasn't a win. The taste was a bit weird. Simple sweet potato pure or even a simple potato croquette would've been a better complement. The soy sauce was more on a salty & sour end of the flavor spectrum.

we were at the World War II museum and decided to find a place to have a late lunch. We ended up here. The goat cheese and almonds. Salad was delicious. Gumbo soup was good that little spicy. We also had hush puppies and fish sticks. Everything was very good. The waiter was nice. It took a little longer to get this second bowl of soup but OK not a problem. Nice Air conditioning a good stop if you're in the neighborhood.

The tiniest oysters I've seen in my entire life. I also felt EXTREMELY sick shortly thereafter. Would never return here. The oysters were almost $4 each Tiniest things ever, I thought I only received the shells

Pêche gave us such a great experience. I recommend eating here if visiting NOLA! The interior is very aesthetic, all the employees were very knowledgeable and welcoming. From the raw bar, we got a 1/2 dozen of two Oyster varieties (Louisiana Brightside & Florida Little Honey) and a Snapper Ceviche. I've seen some reviews diss the smaller variety oysters. The waitress explained to us the size & texture of each variety. The larger variety is meatier while the smaller variety is lighter & melts in your mouth. The oysters we ordered were bright and buttery. As for the ceviche, it was very fresh and the perfect amount of acidity! The brussel sprouts were so flavorful with the chili vinegar. They were a perfect contrast to the sweet grits and cauliflower served with the grilled snapper. The grilled snapper had good crust and melted in our mouth. This was the star of the show. After careful consideration with a high recommendation from the waitress, we ordered the carrot sticky toffee pudding served with cheesecake ice cream. I just might prefer cheesecake in ice cream after trying this. It was not too sweet and paired so well with the warm toffee cake! Overall, I had an outstanding meal and am already looking forward to the next time I'll be back!

Don't sleep on this spot--seriously! This was my second visit, and I brought friends who left just as obsessed. The smoked tuna dip is an absolute must. Paired with saltine crackers, it gives major nostalgic summer vibes--like the best elevated throwback to an old-school tuna dip, but with real finesse. We also devoured the shrimp toast--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. But the dish that had me audibly gasping was the baked drum. That broth? I'd bottle it if I could. Sopping it up with the bread was pure magic. Complex, comforting, and clearly crafted by a chef who knows what they're doing. For dessert, don't let the "carrot" in the sticky toffee pudding scare you off--it was divine. Moist, rich, and perfectly sweet without being overwhelming. I raved about the fish sticks the first time I came here, but now? The baked drum officially lives rent-free in my mind until my next visit.

Everything was outstanding. Starting with our server Ari. This is our favorite restaurant in New Orleans and for a great reason! Service has always was phenomenal, tonight was probably the best we've ever had. Cocktails were excellent, exactly what we've come to expect. We always have the same appetizers, tuna dip, fish, sticks, and shrimp toast. Not sure which is my favorite - they are all outstanding. Two main courses I would like to recognize. First one of tonight specials was grilled tuna. It was outstanding and cooked just perfectly. Broccoli and spicy rice were perfect accompaniments. The other was hanger steak. It was basically perfect. If it's on the menu next time - I am all in! I will keep this review relatively short, if you're anywhere in New Orleans, you need to put this on the top of your list! We never miss an opportunity to dine. And I am pretty darn picky. And if Ari is available as a server, a huge bonus.

This is literally my favorite place to eat. The service is exceptional, the food is always fresh and flavorful, they have the best atmosphere. I love that they have two servers to a table makes you never feel forgotten, and makes the overall experience amazing. I will always go back to this place!

Walked in and sat at the bar on a busy Friday night, enjoyed a full dinner service courtesy of the bar staff and absolutely loved every bite. To be sure the atmosphere was that of a loud bar, but to be able to eat the amazing food that Pêche offers on a walk-in basis was unbelievable. And the staff took amazing care of us. I was able to communicate my allergies to them and they clearly communicated those to the back of house and they came through for me. Loved every single moment of it. The crab and shrimp appetizers were phenomenal and live in my brain rent free. Absolutely delicious and a must

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Food was amazing! The catfish dish was our favorite. The seafood gumbo was very fishy for our taste, but most people love it.

Came here for lunch and had a great experience! Had the oysters to start which were fresh and delicious! Ordered from their specials of the day so we got ceviche which was also fresh and light. Also had the wahoo which was a special and the fish was so tasty! So much flavor from that fish! Also ordered the crispy broccoli with aioli as a side which was one of the best sides that they have! So crispy and airy! Got some other things too but these were the highlights! Great place for any occasion! Definitely must try!

Enjoyed the atmosphere and vibe. Fun place. Lively. Food ranked from good to very good. 5 = crawfish croquettes. Great!!! And Baked drum. 4 = Fried bread; ground shrimp (which was interesting); and sticky toffee pudding 3= Steak tartar 3.5 Several reasonable wine choices. Liked the attitude of our servers. 5 stars is probably too much. But 4 stars is too little. 4.4 is about right.

This experience was just OK for us. We went in on a Saturday early evening, and sat at the bar because we did not have a reservation. The people at the hostess stand were kind. The bartenders were attentive, but seem to lose interest in us when they knew we were there for food rather than drinks. Even so, our food came out fairly quickly after ordering. This may have been expedited by the fact that we ate off the sides and appetizer menus. The server who dropped off our food, spilled the potatoes, and quickly sent out a smaller side dish with more potatoes than what was spilled. Smoked tuna dip - hubby ordered this. He wanted it to be creamier and served with some sort of bread other than crackers. He said he'd order it again but it wouldn't be first choice. Fried Brussels sprouts - they were soft and oily even though it was clear they'd been charred prior to being slathered in oil (for the record, the menu you called it chili vinegar). The flavors are not there for me. As much as I love, brussels sprouts, I would not order these again. Brabant potatoes - these were perfectly made potatoes A tip for any large group coming in: bills cannot be split, and a group can only use up to four credit cards to pay a bill.

Didn't have a reservation, but we were able to get a seat at the bar for early dinner. Food: Flavors were really good. Not too salty nor too bland. Great balance. Oysters were fantastic. However, everything else was really small. Expect high prices for small dishes. We meant to share the kale salad, but was quite small. Seafood salad was nice - shrimp and raw fish. Service: Very chill and comfortable servers. Attentive and well-staffed. Surprised that they had 4 bartenders working inside the bar area... made the service speedy. Ambience: open kitchen concept. Large windows. Modern and chill space. If you want a table during dinner hours, make a reservation. Otherwise, bar seating is nice as well. Location was about a mile from the main drag in French Quarter. So, much quieter and more mellow, for those that want to dine away from the louder hustle and bustle.

Amazing!! The food, ambience, service was 10/10 They recommended the perfect amount to order as well as honest popular plates! The ceviche was incredible, at first we thought we needed chips or something to eat it with but after the first bite, it's all you needed. The raw and fried oysters were incredible. The collar is on the specials and hardly have it, it's a must order. It's somewhat messy to eat but completely worth it. You should 100% make a reservation

Went in with some of my friends since it was our first time in NOLA. Out of all the restaurants we tried, this one definitely stood out the most. The service was amazing -- our server was super cool, let us know everything was locally sourced, and was really attentive throughout. The food? Delectable, to say the least. We devoured those plates and left a little bummed knowing we'll have to drive 5+ hours just to come back and keep trying more of these dishes. The vibe is definitely more on the casual side, but that doesn't take away from the flavors or the quality of service at all. Everything still felt intentional, well-executed, and memorable. They also have dated menus, which show all the locally sourced specials they're offering that day in addition to their permanent menu. At the end of the meal, we even kept some of the menus for my collection and signed off -- this restaurant officially earned a spot on my wall. Thank you for such a great experience. I'll definitely be back anytime I visit NOLA. And as our server said -- cheers!

The Mrs. and I had lunch today at Pêche. We arrived shortly after noon and were seated right away. Pêche was a nice break from the madness of the French Quarter. David, our amazing waiter, arrived to take our order. We started things off with a Margarita which was really good. We took some time to review the menu and came up with a few choices. We then ran them by David who proceeded to give us other options. The first dish he suggested was from the daily special menu. It was the Red Snapper Ceviche which he suggested we have with the fried bread with sea salt. The bread was actually bread balls. They reminded me of hush puppies. The flavor of the ceviche was incredible. We cut the bread balls in half and topped each with some of the ceviche. Doing so just enhanced the flavor. The other dish David suggested was the Steak Tartare with Oyster Aioli which was the star of the meal. The Mrs. and I have had Steak Tartare at a lot of places but I'm going to be thinking about this one for years. The tartare was spread on top of a piece of beautifully toast bread that was perfectly seasoned. It was smoky and somewhat sweet. It was so good we almost ordered a second one. For dessert we ordered the Carrot Toffee Pudding. I'm not a fan of carrots but when I took a bit of the toffee pudding I was thinking, "What carrot?". I couldn't taste it which was fine with me because it was great.

The most refreshing raw oysters I have ever enjoyed were here. I had to refrain myself from eating all the oysters on a shared plate for seven people!! It was one of those moments that you spend time with your friends and family and the food is very good but not necessarily paying attention to the food. All I remember was that everything we ordered tasted so good and every bite was blissfully delightful no matter what it was and everyone's plate was clean!! Also, it was the favorite restaurant of our friends who live there now so feel free to just point anything on the menu with your eyes closed and whatever you decided to eat there will make your taste buds and belly happy!!

Visited this place while walking back from the WW11 museum and so glad I did! The oysters were super delicious and the service was great with an amazing ambiance of old NOLA and new NOLA! The different types of appetizers were all really good and this is a must have spot if you are in the area. I can't rave enough about this place. Will definitely be back when I'm New Orleans next time!

THIS PLACE! So delicious and so much fun. We had great waitstaff, Steph and Mary. They were both helpful, fun and went above and beyond helping us celebrate. Every bite was amazing! If I had to choose favorites, I guess it would be the fried okra, fish sticks and the salted peanut pie. Honestly though, I would order any of it again. Will definitely be back.

The service was great ! Our server was a joy. This is our 3rd time coming and it never disappoints. We had chicken thighs and ground shrimp pasta . We also had the whole fish and potatoes . It was so good there was nothing left on the plate. Can't wait to go back !

Upon arrival we were greeted by the host and even though we arrived early they were able to seat us. The restaurant is larger than it looks from the outside, and has beautiful exposed beams, with a great rustic aesthetic. Our waitress greeted us and introduced us to another waitress as well. They seem to have two people to a table. She reviewed the menu for food, drinks and specials. We decide to start with some appetizers and ordered a half dozen of the oysters and the seafood salad. The oysters were big and briny and a favorite for my fiancé. The seafood salad had tuna, shrimp, jalapeño and avocado served with some crackers. Both were fresh and great starters. For our main course we ordered the Grilled Tuna and the Drum plate. Both dishes were amazing! The Baked Drum dish was flavorful and the chef was creative to make the sweet potato mash into sesame balls, adding a unique twist to the dish and it was just the right amount of flavor and texture. The Grilled Tuna was cooked perfectly, and the crunchy rice that came with it also had a great texture that added to the dish. We also ordered the roasted beet salad. We truly did over order, but this dish was also amazing. Roasted beets with sliced almonds. What I appreciated was the chef allowed the beets to stand out and not be over powered by any type of dressing. For dessert, we couldn't decide, so we ordered the carrot cake and key lime pie. Both were exceptional. The key lime pie was not too sweet or tart, and also not heavy. It was perfect! The carrot cake was as our waitress mentioned if carrot cake and bread pudding were mixed together. It was moist and paired with the cream cheese ice cream, and simply delicious. Positives: - Being able to make a reservation on their website helped as we are from out of town and really needed to plan ahead. - The food is what makes the restaurant stand out. The quality, flavor, and play with textures is exceptional. Slight Delta: - Despite having two waitresses, we had to ask for our drinks twice and for a refill of our waters. All the wait staff would congregate at the hostess podium or on the side of the bar. Otherwise I would have given this spot five stars. For anyone visiting and looking for a restaurant with freshness and quality then look no further.

When it comes to seafood, Pêche is a go-to destination in New Orleans. It showcases a variety of Gulf seafood, cooked over an open hearth. Chef Nicole Cabrera Mills, who was named Food & Wine's best new chef in 2024, combines Cajun favorites with the flavors of her native Philippines. Previously, Pêche received the 2014 James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant, with Chef Ryan Prewitt also receiving Best Chef in the South that same year. Our meal consisted of: * Steak Tartare with Oyster Aioli * Spicy Ground Shrimp and Noodles * Jumbo Shrimp (with greens, coconut and sticky rice) * Baked Drum (with leeks, soy, sesame and sweet potato) * Crispy Broccoli (with pimento aioli) * Roasted Beets (with almonds and pickled mustard seeds) * Carrot Toffee Pudding (with cream cheese ice cream and candied pecan) The food was incredible. Our server at Lilette told us we must order the shrimp and noodles and her recommendation was spot-on. The tartare, drum and broccoli were all standouts. We'd go back and order everything again. The ambiance at Pêche reflects a rustic-industrial look that pays homage to the historic Warehouse District. The downside to this is the restaurant is insanely noisy.

One of our absolute favorite restaurants in the whole city. The drinks are outstanding, in particular The Gintilly is so light and refreshing. The raw oysters are a must have, they provide cocktail sauce, crackers and this absolutely divine shallot herb vinaigrette to top them with that really took them over the top. Their tuna crudo is fresh and so tasty but I must mention one of my favorite dishes on the menu is the chicken skewers with white bbq sauce. I could eat 100 of those. The hanger steak is a classic and I tried the tuna entree and it was wonderful. Atmosphere is well lit with a nice view of the city sidewalk and the service is spectacular. All in all, it's the first place I recommend to anyone looking for delicious seafood and drinks. We can't wait to return!

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.

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.

First time visiting Pêche. Truly a hit and hot spot. The whole grill fish is shareable for two with of course small plates and sides. Beets salads and snapper ceviche has great flavor profile. The gin cucumber cocktail is very refreshing. Make sure to reserve seating. The crowd was alive and all very modern posh. Shout out to the lady who was the coolest to me and my man!

I don't say things like this often, but this is without a doubt my favorite restaurant in the world. If you like seafood, you will love it here. I've been coming here for 7-8 years now, and somehow they manage to keep raising the bar. I sat at the bar for lunch today, and ordered a half dozen raw oysters, snapper ceviche, and a "little red corvette" which is a spicy and sweet mezcal cocktail. The oysters were good as always, but the ceviche was one of the best dishes I've ever eaten in my life. Bursting with flavor. Truly outstanding. The person sitting next to me at the bar was eating their fried oysters with arugula with pickled papaya and kimchi and convinced me to order it. 11/10. Just perfect. The cocktails are always on point as well. If you're visiting New Orleans, put this on top of your list. It's not fancy old school like so many famous restaurants here, but it's well worth it if you're a seafood lover. Also: Great service at the bar.

The Baseline: For a seafood fine dining the fish/seafood needs to be fresh, the presentation must excel beyond a casual seafood place, there must be a selection of accompanying offerings, and there are unique offerings. Food: It has been 15 years since I have tried a raw oyster because of a bad experience at an unrelated restaurant. I heard that Peche was one of the best in New Orleans. Thanks to Peche, I broke my 15 years hiatus and I am enjoying raw oysters again. Drinks were awesome, flavorful, and loaded properly with the right amount of booze. The Little Red Corvette was my favorite, but angry pirate and the chamomile circuit hit my cocktail spot as well. I also had several of the other small plate and entree offerings which were excellent. The Jumbo Shrimp with coconut, cauliflower, and rice grits was delicious and the shrimp were perfectly cooked. The Seafood Gumbo is good but is very seafood forward in flavor so if you enjoy a gumbo with more land based ingredients I would avoid. For sides, the greens were prepared with a coconut milk that might not what you expect but is very flavorful and unique to Peche, the Brussels sprouts were cooked perfectly and were tasty. The Shrimp Toasts really hit the spot for a snack/appetizer especially with the sauce. The hush puppies had a great ready crust with a soft interior that helped enhance the flavors. The star though are the Brabant Potatoes... I wanted more of those. Crispy outside with a soft pillowy potato inside that makes you want a double/triple/quadruple order of them. Finally desert, the Key Lime pie was tart and sweet with a great custard consistency. The Peanut Pie was the desert star with a pecan pie level filling with peanuts substituting the pecans. This is a must have desert for anyone who doesn't have a peanut allergy. Service: My water glass was never empty and dirty plates never got to park themselves on the table. The wait staff were engaging, informative, and excellent with their service. Ambiance: The restaurant has a nice high class feel to it without making you "suit up". The kitchen is in display and the bar is well stocked with most spirits you may enjoy. The bathrooms are clean.

Such an incredible meal and so affordable. My friends and I all had a great experience trying different dishes. Definitely get the croquettes !! Service is awesome and vibes are great.

I was so disappointed in this restaurant. I had really high expectations but none hit the mark. We waited 15 minutes to be seated after our reservations. Then we sat down and the service was so incredibly slow. Our goat cheese salad was dry lettuce with 3 crumbs of goat cheese and barely any dressing. Our food didn't come out for an hour ....the steak was very chewy and barely cooked. We sent it back to be cooked more. The pasta with shrimp was the only decent dish, but it's not full shrimp- it's tiny baby pieces cut up into sauce. Then we had the caramel dessert, that was okay but wouldn't order again. The food was just okay at best, the service was incredibly slow and we couldn't believe the hype over this place.

Stopped by for lunch - luckily was not too busy as we did not make reservations. Located in the arts district away from the hustle and bustle of the French quarter. Dishes were creative , good flavors and a bit of a kick. For us , the stand out was the shrimp toast that was paired with a sweet and spicy sauce and the crawfish pasta which was absolutely delicious.

Came here for brunch on a Saturday and we were seated immediately with our reservation. It got pretty busy throughout our brunch, so I'd highly recommend making a reservation, especially if you're coming at a busy time of day. We ordered family style so we could try a bunch of items (our waiter had a bunch of recommendations that we definitely utilized) and everything we ended up getting was fantastic. My favorites were the smoked tuna dip and the fish sticks, the hanger steak with salsa Verde was also really delicious. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area!

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,
