    Grilled Tuna
    Ingrid S.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    After many years of missed reservations (blame all the day drinking for that) I FINALLY fulfilled my bucket list of dining at Pêche! Every dish was everything I had hoped for and more. We ordered the smoke tuna dip, special tuna crudo, crawfish capellini, fried bread, shrimp toast, the whole fish with salsa verde, potatoes and Brussels sprouts. BUT the star of the night was the daily Snapper Collar! As soon as we were seated I quickly scanned for it on the daily special and boy was I so excited. The collar was full of rich and fatty meat, great charred flavor and topped with such a refreshing green and corn salad. Can't wait for the next visit!

    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!

    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!!!

    Shrimp toast and fish sticks
    Karen L.

    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.

    Key lime pie
    Leanna K.

    Absolutely love this restaurant. Friendly staff, nice ambiance, though I would not describe it as quiet. The kitchen is seen from the dining room. Terrific wine list, and the best steak tartare I have ever had. Always ready to return to Pêche.

    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

    Fresh crabs make this sweet & tasty
    Leonor R.

    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.

    What's left of the whole fish
    Karla H.

    My friend told us we had to come eat here when I visited from Houston and this place did not disappoint! We couldn't get reservations because they were fully booked so we opted to just show up & sit at the bar. There was a little wait to get an open seat but we were able to get drinks while we waited & the bar tenders were just amazing!!! We met some people while waiting & an older gentleman gave us his seat so it was just a superb experience. Then, we sat & ordered the crawfish croquettes & they were amazing. We also got the fish sticks, which needed a little more flavor, and the whole fish with Brussels sprouts & both were divine! We got the strawberry something with ice cream for dessert & we liked it. Overall, I see why they got Michelin recognition. They are all that! Definitely recommend!

    No outdoor seating

    Yes!

    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?

    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… Read more

    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.

We went on Mother's Day 2026, but were able to grab a reservation a couple of days before. There was a steady flow of patrons, but it wasn't packed. Since it's part of the Hilton hotel, it's pretty large and opens up to the hotel lobby and bar. We walked from our hotel, so I'm not sure about parking. We arrived a little early, but were immediately seated, which was nice, especially considering it was a holiday. I ordered a Prosecco to drink. I went with 2 other friends, so we decided to split a dozen charbroiled oysters. The oysters were delicious! I think I could've eaten 2 dozen by myself! For my entrée, I ordered the Grilled Shrimp Pasta with Creole sauce. The pasta was good, but not great. The shrimp were delicious, but the sauce was mediocre. My friend got a lobster cream sauce with her entree, and I put some on my pasta, and that was very good. The shrimp pasta was just shrimp, pasta, and the sauce. I'm curious how the Alfredo sauce would've been. I would return and try some other dishes, but will DEFINITELY get the charbroiled oysters if I come again.

Started with Chargrilled Oysters which were pretty good, however some of the cut up pieces of roll were stale. Then ordered Shuckee Duckee which is an apparent original dish there. This dish is supposed to have a "twice-fried Duck Leg quarter" in paste with Oysterz, well I don't order fried food often, however the Duck Leg did not appear in the least to be Twice Fried as it was not crisp at all, seemed Flash Fried. I tried asking the server and he just said it was fried, did not offer to remake it or call a manager. The Duck was not bad, however not as described or expected. The inside of the place was ok for a Hotel Lobby restaurant

I've never had crawfish and seeing it was crawfish season we were destined to be here. We built out our own seafood boil, which included, 1lb shrimp head off, 2 soft shell crab clusters, 1lb crawfish, corn, potato, and sausage. Let's just say we left with a pretty big leftovers box We ordered the hot house flavor and do not regret it one bit! Our server was so kind to show us how to peel and eat the crawfish and honestly it was so fun!! I will definitely be back next time in New Orleans!! One quick note I will say that I learned from a local that I wish I knew before this feast (And you should double check with staff if this info is correct). Most seafood boil places in the area when they have headless shrimp it is farmed and brought in from outside retailers where if you get head-on it's from local ships in the area/fresh caught. Apparently they've been struggling and if you want to support New Orleans local fisherman then go for the head-on shrimp. Again double check with staff if their head-on shrimp is local cuz I learned this information after visiting.

Behind the bar, Sandy mixed me a Summer Peach (Absolute Vodka, real peach, sweet tea, fresh lemon, $14) and provided the bib and gloves I likely would need if in fact I wanted to enjoy a crawfish boil. Of the dozens of restaurants I've visited in New Orleans, rare is the menu that includes a crawfish boil. Hot'n Cajun has it. I asked the barkeep Sandy B. if it was still crawfish season, and she assured me that it was. So I ordered 3 pounds of boiled crawfish (including potatoes and corn on the cob, $25.99), asked that the seasoning be "medium", and Sandy brought me a Model ($9) with a neat Maker's Mark ($12). The experience was pretty close to what I remember we'd find if invited to a neighbor's crawfish boil. Three pounds sounds like a lot, but the yield is more like half a pound, at most. So I put the gloves and bib on and started in on the crawfish. Nice presentation, and very good, fresh crawfish.
