Looking for some fish this is probably the place to goto in Holland. It was probably one of the…read moremost famous seafood shops in Holland. When you first walked in you can see fishes all lined up behind the counter. It looked like a regular fish market but with small dining tables and chairs off to the side. My Uncle had drove us all the way here to try a typical dutch thing. Basically raw "paling" basically a eel like fish. We went over in the evening when they were about to close up, they were completely sold out for the day. So then my uncle instead ordered us a bunch of other different fish dishes. We bought a small sandwich for the each of us and also a deep fried fish. Surprising they had the deep fried fish the instant we ordered it. It was still nice and hot and perfectly seasoned with salt. Even though they were closing up the shop, people were still constantly coming in to buy some fish! I could see why they are so popular since everything seems so fresh. ----- + Pro: It's Fish! - Con: Has that typical fish market smell. ( ^_^) Overall: Awesome place to some fresh fish to snack on!

Since a friend of mine wanted to try this place, I went along. We went for the one thing you have to do in a place like this: the seafood tower. This includes few oysters and a fish-stock soup to start (my first and last time I ate oysters I might add). The tower itself was pretty big but the right amount for two people to share, including the usual lobster, crab and salmon. The food was very well prepared but the service left allot to be desired. The waiter was pretty annoying en kept pressing us to get a bottle of wine (as I heard him do with other customers). This got so annoying to the point that (even though we did plan on getting a bottle) we left after finishing our meal. He even tried to get us to stay for desert or coffee in the same annoying manner. Even though the food was great, I'm not coming back to this place again.

The food was really amazing and tasty, if you are looking for seafood this is definitely your place!read more

This was the second place I visited while I was in Düsseldorf. The waitress was amazing and she was…read morevery sweet when it came to helping me with my German. She continuously checked in on the table and made sure we were well taken care of. The restaurant itself was lovely. There was really no one else in the restaurant, so I cannot comment on the normal atmosphere. It was very clean and bright. My biggest complaint, and it really isn't just this restaurant, comes from the amount of flies I had to fend off. As for the food, it was tasty. I started with fish soup, which was deliciously salty. For my entree I had ceviche, which I have never had so I tried it out. It was delicious, however the sweetness and the coconut flavor overwhelmed me toward the end and I wasn't able to finish it! I was able to have their apple tart for a dessert and loved it. The tart was soft and applely. No complaints there. Overall, it was a lively experience!

When you walk in, you're greeted by their in-house fish market, where everything is visibly fresh and beautifully displayed. You simply choose the fish or shellfish you want, they assemble your order, print a ticket, and you continue on to the wine shop. Before going any further, I want to highlight how impressive the fish market is. It feels almost like stepping into a wholesale seafood market, complete with checker-tape pricing. The staff will tell you exactly how each item can be prepared. For example, when we ordered a dozen mussels, they explained all the options and recommended a coconut curry preparation--an excellent choice and absolutely delicious. Once you have your ticket, you head into the wine bar. The team already knows how your meal will be prepared and offers thoughtful wine-pairing suggestions based on your selections. From there, you're taken to your table, where the outstanding service continues. We were served a beautiful basket of fresh bread almost immediately, along with our chosen wine. By the way, did I mention how beautiful the place is! For starters, I ordered a dozen oysters, and each pair was prepared in a different style. Every single one was outstanding. The mussels in curry sauce were so good that I needed extra bread just to savor every drop. Finally, we had monkfish--an impressively large piece, perfectly cooked, beautifully presented, and absolutely incredible. From start to finish, the entire experience was exceptional. The team at Pesca, and truly the people of the Netherlands, know how to do it right. Hats off to this outstanding restaurant. I only wish we had one where I live--I'd be there every day. Actually, it would be dangerous to have Pesca too close...I'd go bankrupt:)

You choose your seafood and they tell you how it will be served. The seafood is weighed and you're given a tally of your meal. You also choose a selection of sides to go with your dinner. Once you choose your seafood you go to the wine bar and choose your drinks. We chose a pasta side orecchiette with pesto sauce and curried cauliflower. For our main dish, we chose the seabreem. We started with scallops and calamari which were both delicious and our seabreem was perfectly cooked. It would be nice to have more than one option as to how our fish could be made but all in all everything was fresh and well prepared. Service came with a smile and you can't beat the novelty and ambiance!
