    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!

    The old fashioned, the way to begin a good night

    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!

    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!!!

    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!

    Shrimp toast and fish sticks

    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.

    Crawfish croquettes
    Shun M.

    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.

    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

    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!

    Hushpuppies
    Chris N.

    First trip to Nola and we first tried Cochon which was a Michelin, 2025 restaurant. We also came across here Pesche which was also a Michelin recipient of a star in 2025. First and foremost this restaurant did not disappoint. The only available reservation spot. We had one day before was at 3:45 PM for a late lunch. Inside it was bus and everyone looked happy to be there including the staff. Not a fancy interior but it was a relaxed classy seafood place. We tried a couple of different dishes, including crawfish croquettes with Fontina, hush puppies, catfish with greens, kale salad, smoked drum with olives, and crawfish cappellini with chili oil. All the dishes were incredibly unique and flavorful. If you are Filipino, then the catfish with greens is very similar to the dish sinigang. The flavors were amazing and this is not your average seafood restaurant. Definitely worth a visit when coming to Nola.

    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.

    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.

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.
