Thank you to the person who recommended this spot. It was our most favorite meal while in NOLA. The service was fantastic, personable and attentive. The restaurant itself was spacious but had a very cozy ambiance. The food! Everything was so well seasoned and presented. We shared everything family style. The appetizers were tasty. The entrees of fish and steak were delicious. The noodles could have been skipped, they gave the flavor of taco seasoning? The dessert!!! omgoodness. The warm toffee pudding I think it was?? SO FREAKING GOOD. It was the perfect way to end the meal. The crepe cake could be skipped though. Overall what a good well-balanced meal. It honestly made me think of restaurants in the Bay Area. I would definitely come back again!
The food was really good! Let's start with the highlights. The raw oysters were fantastic. We recommend the brightside if you like briny if not the Alabama were mild and the area 3 were all around good, so no matter what you like they have you covered. They probably rotate them so they may be different when you go. The shrimp toast was good but really the sweet chili dipping sauce was the star of the show for us. The Brabant potatoes were excellent. Nice and crispy on the outside and tender and fluffy on the inside. I could have had these for the meal and been just fine. The grilled tuna and okra was a standout. The best okra I have had I think. Lightly crispy with tomatoes and light sauce that was just fantastic. The were a few bad things though. We shared a bowl of gumbo and it was bland and the shrimp were tiny. It wasn't super expensive but the best gumbo is still my wife's. Lastly, my wife got the hangar steak. It was cooked perfectly and honestly one of the best we have ever had but it was described as having a salsa verde over the top. This is really the biggest faux pas. Salsa verde you think of tomatillo's, jalapeño, cilantro, garlic and lime. What they put on it was more of chimichurri which is parsley, vinegar, oil, garlic etc. We like salsa verde, not so much chimichurri. This definitely had some citrus and mint and maybe a hint of anise in a heavy oil. It was ok, but not all what we were expecting. We mentioned it to the manager and he said the chef was filipino which i am not sure why that would matter. He would know the difference between Mexico and South America which we thought was funny. We have been to the Philippines many times so it was a strange excuse. The kicker is both the waiter and he acknowledged it was more like chimichurri than salsa verde. Oh well. Not the worst thing in the world. If you like chimichurri you should get the steak it was really good. Our waiter was super cool and the restaurant is upscale casual that you see at so many places these days. All in all, it was a good experience and we will come back again. Update: we talked with a friend who is filipino and she said there is a filipino salsa verde that is different from Italian or Mexican versions. We had never had it or heard of it but she said it does have a heavy oil and is citrus forward. I bet this what the manager was talking about. So our mistake. Just thought I would make the correction.
Probably the best meal I had all trip to New Orleans. PLEASE get the grilled fish. Our fish of the day was Trout. Absolutely delicious fish. It left the most satisfying taste in my mouth for hours.
Peche was easily one of the highlights of my trip to New Orleans! The fish collar was absolutely incredible! so meaty, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The oysters were fresh and delicious, exactly what I was hoping for. I also had the chance to try a few of the sides, and they did not disappoint. The corn and Brussels sprouts were both packed with flavor. From the fresh seafood to the amazing sides, everything was on point. I can't wait to come back the next time I'm in New Orleans!
Peche might be one of, if not the one, best restaurant I've ever been to! I visited New Orleans back in early May and I'm literally still thinking about all the yummy food I had at Peche. It was also really cool to be seated at the oyster bar and get to watch all the appetizers being made. The snapper kinilaw with coconut was like a crudo, carpaccio, or ceviche and it was amazinggggg. The mix of the coconut milk, the chili oil, the fish, and the greens was such a good combo - it was so flavorful yet bright and light. I could have had so many plates of this. The crawfish croquettes were also fantastic! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and you could really taste the crawfish and the spices. Again, so much flavor! The baked drum with leek was probably my least favorite dish of the night, just because I like my fish more soft and smooth, but it was still good! Finally, I was swayed to get the carrot sticky toffee pudding after seeing so many of them being made at the bar. It was like a deconstructed carrot cake, with cream cheese flavor ice cream and a warm, sticky molten carrot cake and graham cracker crumbles. Absolutely divine. I would go back to New Orleans just for Peche!
It wasn't too busy and I was easily able to get a table. Our servers were very friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and gave good suggestions. The timing of the appetizers, main dishes and desserts were on point. I throughly enjoyed the overall dining experience here. Tuna crudo - was alright, had a fishiness and was tangy Oysters - fresh and melted in my mouth. The crackers add a nice crunch and also paired well with the tuna crudo. Cobia - the char on the fish had a burnt taste to it. Other than that, the fish had a crispy and had a nice chew to it. There was a hint of freshness from the zucchini and the salad+orzo. Brussel sprouts - This was good. The vinegar was not overpowering and it was cooked just right where the Brussel sprouts had a sweet taste and still had a slight bite to it. Carrot toffee pudding - great! It is a sweet dessert. The hot and cold factor gave a nice mix. key lime pie - it was sweet and light, but could have a stronger zest Service 10/10 Ambiance 10/10 Food 7/10
Having worked a few Essence Festivals, I'd seen this place a few times but finally got to dine here. Our server were great, personable and had an extensive knowledge of the menu, which is always appreciated because so many things on the menu sounded great and I only have one stomach. There was a minor hiccup with our food, which took a very long time to come out as the server and manager had come out to tell us that our food had been delivered to the wrong table, including the steak that we ordered for the table. Everything else up to that point had been great and we were given two small plates of spicy ground shrimp with noodles as an apology, which was good. I think the food just takes a long time in general because it took a while for us to get our appetizers in general but to be honest, we were chatting and I had a glass of Pinot so I wasn't really clock watching but you can tell (and taste) that the food is made well. I really enjoyed the smoked tuna dip. I don't know why I thought it was going to come out hot but it came out cold and the saltine crackers made it. I loved every bite of it. The fried bread was SO GOOD. It tasted like I was eating pizza dough? Can't explain it but it was delicious. The one meh small plate I had was the fish sticks. The sauce was good but the batter didn't have any flavor to me. Fish was cooked well so no concerns there. The ribeye for the table was amazing and so tender! Definitely a highlight for us. All in all, I would return. For the fried bread and rib eye alone.
I was in New Orleans for a work conference, and Peche came highly recommended. It absolutely lived up to the hype. The restaurant is beautiful, the service was warm and attentive, and every dish showcased just how incredible the seafood is. We started with the tuna crudo, which was incredibly fresh. We also shared the spicy ground shrimp over pasta, and it was unlike anything I've had before. Oddly enough, it reminded me of Cincinnati chili in the best possible way. rRch, comforting, and packed with flavor. For the main dish, we had the baked drum, which was cooked perfectly and served with stewed okra. The fish was outstanding, and the flavors throughout the dish were balanced and delicious. We also shared the grilled zucchini. It was a bit overcooked, which made it soft, but the flavor was still excellent. Overall, this was an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. Beautiful restaurant, outstanding service, and memorable food. I would absolutely come back the next time I'm in New Orleans and highly recommend it.
This place was everything we hoped for and more. We heard about this establishment from a local and he couldn't recommend this place more. It's NOLA and there are obviously a plethora of restaurant options to choose from however, this place was outstanding. The service was good, the food took sometime to arrive. The interiors were classy with character. We got the oysters to start with, I got a Bloody Mary and some chicken skewers. I got the fish they recommended and my husband got the grilled shrimp. We finished it with the carrot toffee cake which kicked it out of the park! The oysters : 10/10, very fresh. The chicken: 10/10, perfectly cooked. The fish: 100/10! Definitely the star! Grilled shrimp: 9/10, slightly fishy. The carrot toffee cake: 1000000/10, I dream of this dessert. Can't wait to revisit.
We had the most fantastic dinner on Saturday with Joey and Robert serving us. From the time we walked in, the service was great from everyone we encountered. Their awesome customer service actually started before we stepped into the place. A tropical storm was coming the night of our original reservations and their staff accommodated us for another night. They were very understanding then and even when we had to again change plans due to the weather. We went from a party of eight to five. Every single one of us thought the meal and service were outstanding. I have a gluten allergy and Joey handled it very well, making adjustments where he could so that I could still enjoy the dishes. The table split the Seafood Platter which came with a Smoked Tuna Dip, Smoked Drum Dip, Gulf Shrimp, Seafood Salad, and Raw Oysters. We also split the Steak Tartare. Supplemental crackers and toast hit the table. I was so pleasantly surprised that they provided me with cucumber slices to transport the tartare and dips to my mouth! The fish dips, Seafood Salad, and Steak Tartare were outstanding. We were recommended the Steak Tartare by friends and we definitely agree it's a winner. For cocktails, we started with Old Fashions and I had the Mother of Pearl made with both gin and vodka and dill. I was reluctant at first because I don't like gin but I'm glad I decided it give it a try because it was refreshing. I later switched to a Dirty Martini. For entrees, we tried to split the daily special Cobia Fish dish but unfortunately they sold out so they replaced it with another fish. We also had the Grilled Tuna. For sides we got the Seafood Gumbo, Fried Oysters made gluten free, Fried Okra which was gluten free and made with cornmeal and then also the Brussel Sprouts. Both sides were so good especially the Brussel Sprouts with the Chili Sauce. The Asian fusion on all the dishes were not over powering and was a true highlight. We loved the Fried Oysters so much, we had a second order. Thank you for making them gluten free! I can't remember what desserts we got but everyone enjoyed them. The pictures look pretty. I think it was Key Lime Pie, Sticky Toffee Pudding with Cream Cheese Ice Cream, and Ice Cream. I only tasted the ice creams and they were yummy. We're so happy we finally had a chance to enjoy a meal at Peche. We've heard for years that we had to have dinner here. Joey made the meal extra special. Overall service is great from them picking up dirty dishes, refilling glasses, to bringing us little wipes after eating the seafood with our fingers.
Absolutely loved my short stay in NOLA thanks to PECHE. The staff was so welcoming and very professional (was able to catch then on their pre shift & they were ON it!) the Maitre D with floral pants sorry I didnt catch her name was soo accomodating. I am an oyster pro and I can confidently say the oysters here with their mignonette and sauces are by far my favorite in the world. Also def get the " racecar " drink . I am so sad I didnt get pictures but I had a Divine Time!
We had a great meal experience here. We chose it because my husband wanted to try it and they had ahi tuna. We had two servers who were fantastic. One of them brought us fried bread balls by mistake instead of fish dip. Those fried bread balls were so darned delicious. Our fish dip was wonderful. We upgraded for cucumbers on the side. We had ahi Tuna and hanger steak. My steak was cooked perfectly medium rare and my husband was very impressed with his ahi tuna. The restaurant has a super cool vibe. We shared a great bottle of Chardonnay. We look forward to coming back to the city for another great experience. The entire staff were so friendly and welcoming.
Came to Peche for a birthday party after years of hearing about the place. It was three of us so we did a family style meal of ordering the whole fish, roasted in their wood oven and covered in their chimichurri sauce. The fish was excellent though its size is good for two and not three. We made up for the lack of fish with extra side dishes. The sides are seasonal and on this day we had the pumpkin side dish which was the best pumpkin dish I ever ate. Honestly all of the sides were excellent and made up for the lack of fish. Peche is a great spot and I highly recommend for a great seafood dinner.

This spot was recommended by the hotel staff. I think it's a James Beard restaurant. It was within walking distance of my hotel and near several art galleries. It was busy and I didn't make a rez. So I sat at the bar. The staff were friendly. It was upscale and pretty inside. I wasn't super hungry so I ordered the fish and a glass of wine. It was solidly good but overpriced. read more

A great night at Peche. Such a vibrant atmosphere--everyone enjoying themselves, and the wonderful food. The fish sticks were perfect as were the Brussels, the congee rice (a must), and the catfish. The peche old fashioned is seriously good. Service, again, over the top, so friendly. And the Alabama oysters with the ginger sauce, more please. Only downer were the hush puppies--way too heavy and not whipped light. Don't turn them into hockey pucks! read more
Yes, this place lives up to the stellar reviews. Reservations are highly recommended. You can eat at the bar which is first come, first served but on this Monday night, it was still packed at 7:45p. Once seated, we ordered a dozen raw oysters then small plate crawfish capellini, seared tuna. Everything was delicious. I was so inspired by the meals I ordered the sticky toffee pudding to share. We did eat pretty late though...8:15p reservation. However I was continually amazed that people were still coming in after us....wow! Truly a popular place. This restaurant made us feel like long lost friends and not tourists. The restaurant is housed in an old building which is deceivingly small from the outside but, upon entering, quite spacious and not overwhelming. I love this town for its food and hospitality! read more

Love, love, love Peche! The ingredients were fresh and high-quality, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. We had a reservation one evening and loved it so much that we went back again the next night. I highly recommend the fried okra -- the best I've ever had -- along with the creamed corn appetizer, crab noodles, spicy shrimp noodles, and baked drum. This is definitely one of those places where you want to try everything on the menu, which is exactly why we had to dine there two nights in a row! read more

I hadn't been here in a while and was reminded of how delicious it was. We brought family in town on my birthday and the waiters even brought us a dessert with a candle in it! The fried okra were so delicious and crispy but not too heavy of a batter. All our fish dishes were so good! The food never disappoints here. read more

Pêche Seafood Grill gets busy during peak hours, so definitely make a reservation or join the waitlist ahead of time. They're known for their grilled whole fish, and honestly, I regret not ordering it. I was worried it would be too much for one person, but when it arrived at the table next to me, it smelled incredible and instantly gave me food envy. The oysters were ice-cold and very fresh, the gumbo was flavorful, and the crudo was well-executed and enjoyable. My drink was also excellent and complemented everything nicely. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be back--next time, the grilled whole fish is happening. read more
Beautiful dinner The service was excellent and impeccable, and every bite we ate was hot and delicious. You can't go wrong with anything but our table favorites were the fried bread, fish sticks, and the whole grilled fish. read more
One of my favorite places in Nola. We weren't able to get a reservation but we were happy we got two seats at the bar at 5pm. We met a fun couple sitting next to us and sipped some Fortaleza together, yummy! The snapper ceviche and steak tartare were my favorite appetizers. I'm so glad I saw the recipe on the back wall but I'm not sure I can master this perfection. Then the whole grilled fish can with our sides and amazing! I don't know what ingredients were included but the carrots were so delicious. I thought they were sweet potatoes. Very flavorful and great spice. Similar to the massaman curry that I often cook with. We ordered key lime pie and I forgot to take a picture. It too was a favorite! I took the rest home with me to savor it. The ladies restroom was very nice, loved the cute changing table for babies. And I enjoyed reading the articles about the chef in the hallway. The restaurant was packed and I loved all the wood beams. I noticed a fish collar on the way back to my seat. It looked amazing and I would like to come back and try that too. This place is super high or even top of my list of places I'd recommend. Nice job chef! read more
Easily made a reservation online. Service was good and fast, but they stopped by our table too many times because we apparently had 2 servers? So one would check up on us then 1 minute later the other one would check too. - Louisiana Area 3 oysters 3.9/5 These oysters were big. Very refreshing and somewhat sweet. I asked for Tabasco on the side with more lemon to enjoy them with. It comes with a side of crackers. - Hushpuppies 1.7/5 Our waitress said these were her favorite. Our hushpuppies came out lukewarm and dry. The best part of this was the butter. Salty and delicious. - Smoked Tuna Dip 1.4/5 This was so so salty and below average. - Steak Tartare w/ Aioli 5/5 The best dish of the night!! It's perfectly salted with crusted bread. The tartare is refreshing and perfectly seasoned. [RECOMMEND] - Fish Sticks 2.2/5 These fish sticks were fried in good oil. It had a good crisp on the outside. I found the fish inside to be mushy though. The tartar sauce was good. - Spicy Ground Shrimp Noodles 2.3/5 The noodles were way overcooked, almost mushy. The sauce was underseasoned. Couldn't taste the shrimp it just tasted like any other protein. - Squid Ink Capellini 1.8/5 The presentation was nice. However the sauce was underseasoned and it lacked flavor. The other pasta dish dominated in taste so after eating the other one, it was all I can taste in this dish. Free street parking read more
Sometimes Michelin spots can be a bit of hit or miss but Peche lives to the name. I would probably put this closer at 4.5, but good enough to round up to 5 stars. We sat at the bar so the staff was quite hard to get a hold of but was attentive when we did get attention. And the bar did a great job creating a mocktail that hits the spot on a hot day. I thought the seafood lives up to the freshness expected and all the flavors were nicely done. The fish sticks came out piping hot and just the right amount of batter. We had a huge dinner coming up so the small plates did their job in holding us for the afternoon till then. read more
I was in New Orleans for three nights and had dinner at one high end restaurant each night. Peche stood out in every way and that's saying a lot because the other two were very good as well. This place has a great bar with some very good bartenders. I loved the very relaxed feel with elevated food. I started with the crab rice which was out of this world. Great flavors in an understatement. For my entree , I ordered the baked drum which again, was so flavorful and took something that I have had a lot of (drum) and made it in a way that was different...but in a very good way. I also ordered a side of fried bread which accompanied both dishes very well. At this point I was full, but I was hitting gold each time so why quit there. The key lime pie was very good, only knock on it is the crust was very dry...but the key lime was spectacular. If you only have one place to eat in the city, this has to be the place. read more
Snapper portion was small and a bit overcooked. The sides weren't to my taste. I had my heart set on the Drum but it had been cooked with mussels so I couldn't order it. Anyway, everyone else liked their food. I'm happy my daughter thought to bring me there for Mother's Day! read more
Our daughter told us this was a place we had to dine in so reservations were made weeks in advance. We were not disappointed! It served dishes unique to Nola which for foodies like us, is very important. We've never even heard of drum fish! It is soft & sweet. The portions were just right for family style dining so we could sample five that struck our curiousity. Kinilaw is a traditional Pilipino cooking style similar to ceviche. Seeing it on the menu done to snapper was a pleasant surprise & it was delicious. The crab rice with harisa gave the sweet & fresh crab more flavor with a slight "bite". The flavors were innovative & you just have to experience it to know. Service can be described as the famous Southern hospitality: friendly & patient and very professional. We felt welcomed right away by each person we met as they introduced themselves to us. This is definitely a place to dine in when in Nola. read more
Beautiful place with great ventilation and a true premium atmosphere from the moment you walk in. The catfish and collard greens dish was absolutely delicious -- perfectly seasoned, crispy, and full of flavor. The crawfish croquettes were amazing and easily one of the highlights of the meal. Everything tasted fresh, well-prepared, and made with care. Definitely a spot worth coming back to. read more
I was fortunate enough to have this place recommended to me by one of my colleagues. On a rainy day, I walk in, hoping that I was going to be able to get a table. But I was welcomed in to the bar with one open seat. The staff was very welcoming with a bit of sarcasm, which is probably something that I look forward to everywhere. I asked for recommendations, having looked at the menu and they handed me another special menu of the day stating obviously I hadn't read the whole thing yet. I started with the snapper appetizer and I have Tse with the coconut lime broth. It was absolutely delicious, followed by the crawfish capellini. I was surprised by the amount of crawfish in the dish and the chili flavor, which was absolutely delicious. I have been hearing about the hush puppies for a while so I had to try some, especially because my colleague raved about it at dinner the night before. Lastly, I had the baked drum which was delicious light and flaky. The flavors were incredible. I personally thought that the bread was a little overly grilled and chard, but overall the dishes still pretty good. I cannot say more about the dessert. It's absolutely one of the best desserts I've had in a long time. The sticky carrot cake toffee cake with cream cheese ice cream was just on the next level. I would try to come here if I was in the area every time. read more
Pêche was one of my favorite meals in New Orleans. I ordered the whole grilled fish and the kinilaw from the menu of the day, and both were outstanding. The kinilaw was especially good because it was bright and citrusy like ceviche, but had this subtle coconut richness that made each bite feel layered and almost tropical. The whole grilled fish was cooked perfectly: beautifully charred on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned just enough to highlight the fish rather than overwhelm it. There's something so satisfying about a dish that's simple on paper but executed flawlessly, and Pêche really nails that. The space has that lively-but-relaxed New Orleans energy, and the service was EXCELLENT without hovering. When I tell you that they came around frequently but not overbearingly, service was perfection. If you love seafood that's done with care and without unnecessary fuss, this place should be on your list. read more

Came here for the New Year's Eve set menu on our first trip to New Orleans after hearing so many great things about Peche. The regular menu and reputation set our expectations pretty high, even though the NYE menu leaned more Asian-influenced than what the restaurant is known for. Unfortunately, this ended up being the most disappointing meal of our trip. While the service was genuinely good and the drinks were well done, the food itself felt uninspired and poorly executed. Much of it reminded us of mediocre catered Japanese food that had been sitting out too long before being served. For example, the gyoza/dumplings arrived almost cold, with hardened skin (exactly what happens when dumplings are left out too long). The miso-glazed fish collar was very one-dimensional, and the glaze looked like it had been under a heat lamp for a while rather than freshly prepared. For a restaurant of Peche's caliber, especially on a prix fixe NYE menu, we expected much better. It's totally fine to experiment with a different cuisine for a special occasion, but the execution here really missed the mark. read more
Wow, by far our favorite spot we dined at when we visted NOLA over Easter weekend. My husband remembered really loving Peche when his bachelor party came to NOLA four years ago and he was not disappointed with his second meal here. The kinilaw and the steak tartare were our favorite dishes during a stellar night and are must orders, but everything we tried was great - even the salted peanut butter pie for this chocolate disliker :) All the seafood was incredibly fresh and all the dishes were super balanced and flavorful. Sad this spot is far from us so we can't try the rest of the menu easily, but we would absolutely visit again the next time we're in the city! read more
Once of our favorite meals while visiting NOLA for a bachelorette. seafood is the star, obviously! Staff was incredibly friendly and celebratory and we really enjoyed this meal! Warm and welcoming atmosphere. Everything was great!!! read more
Pêche was high on our list of places to dine and they were every bit as good as we hoped. We started with the oysters which were very good. I ordered the grilled chicken which comes with a seasoned congee, and they were amazing. The chicken was dark with a crispy skin which was very well seasoned and had chili crisp on top. The congee also had some chili crisp and garlic. My wife ordered the jumbo shrimp which was also seasoned very well, and very good. For dessert we shared the salty peanut pie which I highly recommend. Ours took a little time to come out, they had some issues in the kitchen, but they proactively came and told us it was going to be on the house. The food was all amazing, and the service was very good and friendly in a cozy atmosphere. read more

Ask the Community - Peche Seafood and Grill
Is there outdoor dining? If so, is it possible to reserve that option?
No outdoor seating
On the description it says vegan options, but I don't see any listed on the menu. Does anyone know how to order vegan here?
Yes, vegan specials vary daily. If you wanna know what's served for the day I'd call in first.
Are jeans acceptable attire? Or should one lean towards something a little nice for dinner here?
Not sure what some of these folks are talking about. Jeans are absolutely ok. It's an extremely casual place. Yes, it doesn't hurt to "dress up" but you can say that about nearly every sitdown restaurant. There's absolutely nothing unacceptable…
Is the grilled fish offered daily? Trying to come in for dinner around 7 pm on A sunday
Yes, they always have at least one type of grilled fish daily.
How is parking? Hard to find a spot,say on a Friday around 11:15 am?
There is street parking and a pay lot just about a block from there on Magazine Street. Street parking is just luck- be sure you pay for full time though because they love to give parking tickets in that area.
