EaterJanuary 6, 2014Located in the Warehouse District in a historic building where Jefferson Davis was embalmed, Peche features a giant hearth/wood fire grill, a raw bar, and a perfected casual fine dining vibe.Upvoted Mar 7
Adrian PhillipsAugust 23, 2015The service was beyond fantastic. Definitely get the shrimp & oysters from the raw bar. The ground shrimp pasta dish is a must try. The swordfish special nailed it on flavors.Upvoted Apr 4
Victoria FJuly 4, 2016Isle Dauphine oysters are probably the best I've ever tried. The tender texture and unique taste kept me coming back for more. Tuna special is fantastic, and so is everything else. Sit at oyster bar!

Christine ChaoDecember 22, 2018We ordered what most people recommended, baked drum and shrimp noodles. Both are amazing, just great flavors. Key lime pie is also delicious, it’s better than the salted caramel cake in my opinion.
Dasha KovaMay 10, 2019Order everything! I‘m in pain from eating so much delicious food but it was worth it. The whole grilled fish is a must! Seafood gumbo, oysters, side of fried potatoes... dessert: salted caramel cake
Liz TanMay 11, 2017Sat at the bar, got great recommendations from the bartender: snapper, spicy ground shrimp w noodles, baked drum, and fried Brussels sprouts. Save room for the salted peanut pie.
Andre RibeiroMay 10, 2018Baked drum with mushroom broth was just amazing - really unique dish. Next time I am for sure trying the whole fish.
Erik MichielsenJanuary 1, 2017For drinks, the Morris Day (and the Thyme) kills. The smoked drum and cauliflower salad was epic. Oysters top notch. Hush puppies and fish sticks unique and incredible. Seafood salad & gumbo...bravo.
Gizem Ünlü ErdilDecember 23, 2018The best ever!!! Pêche deserves every good comment,highly recommended!❤️ Try, smoked drum, hush puppies , steak tartare!!
- Nicole CheramieNovember 13, 2018James Beard award winner, Peche is on the rise with crowds every night. The whole grilled redfish is superb, and local, line-caught seafood their specialty. Save room for the key lime pie, its divine.
Boniface LawJanuary 8, 2020All their starters are wonderful, the smoked tuna is the star! For 2 ppl, go family-style here, split 4-5 starter and share 1 entree.
Kika GMarch 24, 2014Try to maximize what you can taste from the menu because ALL of it is amazing. Pounded shrimp + noodles, crawfish bisque, and swordfish + farro w. peanut vinagarette, are keepers. Don't miss the pie!
Susan ClaxtonAugust 17, 2014The fried bread is amaze. We had the tuna dip (really good), the shrimp noodles (great) and the redfish with salsa verde (awesome) with a side of Brussels and the pineapple rum cake. #yum
Marigny9January 9, 2017This Beard award-winner is one of the few places where you can sample local off-bottom oysters from the likes of Caminada & Champagne Bays. Their daily whole-fish platter never disappoints.
Mitchell EdwardsJuly 1, 2017Went here twice. Had the fried bread, fried Brussels sprouts, beets, smoked tuna dip, all the oysters, baked drum (twice), blackberry layer cake, and pineapple rum cake. Everything was perfect.
Scy DVApril 3, 2022Great vegetable side dishes- brussels, broccoli, carrots, potatoes - full fish is a must have, chicken, oysters (huge), and all desserts - key lime, sticky toffee pudding, and caramel cake
AshleyOctober 17, 2014Fried bread with smoked tuna dip (which oddly comes with saltines), shrimp croquettes, grilled whole redfish, best brussel sprouts and salted caramel (doberge?) cake! Will go back just for the snacks
Kristy BairdAugust 22, 2014Shrimp and noodles was delicious. The bisque was great but, be prepared for some spice. And to finish I tried the chocolate pudding - decadent. Definitely get the Four Roses bourbon pairing.
Bianca PadillaJuly 22, 2015Top picks: drum for entree and sea salt caramel layer cake for dessert! Will not regret. The fish is so soft and flavorful it's unbelievable!
Raquel GCMay 5, 2017Honestly this whole meal was unbelievably good. Oysters, coconut and lime raw fish (similar to ceviche), grilled tuna and baked drum - I dunno what was best! Listen to the waiters recommendations
Ella EvansFebruary 2, 2018One of the best restaurants in one of the best food cities in America! Get the fried bread and smoked tuna appetizers — both super unique and incredibly delicious.
CarolinaJune 2, 2015The best dinner I've had in New Orleans.Service was amazing all the time.We ordered many plates and all of them were incredibly tasty, especially the seafood salad! I would definitely recommend Pêche!
Zane ShannonMay 17, 2013Have a seat at the raw bar across from Sam the Oyster Man. Talk to him when he talks to you. He's a true gentleman. (You're going to want to tip him--leave it on the bar, the servers don't share!)
Cuneyt UysalSeptember 11, 2017The crab claws were worth the wait. However the seafood platter is meager at best by most standards. A handful of oysters and shrimp with dip, a $45 platter does not make. Seasoning was uniform across
Hudson SutlerJuly 20, 2017Owned by famed NOLA chef Donald Link, Pesce's serving up some of the most delicious and creative seafood in a city long known for having access to some of the freshest in the country. Read more
Nash PleasantMay 28, 2019Great selection seafood dishes with a modern, unique flair. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Great selection of cocktails as well
EricNovember 1, 2014Incredible. The fried bread, grilled royal red shrimp, brussels sprouts with chili vinegar: all were simply stunning. Best restaurant we visited in our week in New Orleans.
Jimmy MoutonOctober 18, 2013Everything is really tasty, but you'll be missing out if you don't get whatever fish is fresh caught. They'll bake it and bring it out whole and you'll eat it and you'll love it.
Bokyung ParkAugust 14, 2022First-class seafood. Oysters were fresh, and their whole fish pairs well with Sauvignon Blanc.

Robyn FlaneryDecember 16, 2016Amazing whole grilled fish. The Brussels sprouts are the best I have ever had. This place is really good.
Foursquare InsidersOctober 7, 2015“The seafood-heavy menu highlights New Orleans’ signature Bayou ‘kick.’ For effortless synergy, pick ethereal Champagnes and whites from Austria and Germany.” - Laura Williamson, Wine Expert Read more
Pippa StrongSeptember 16, 2017Absolutely delicious!!! Try the shrimp and bacon - to die for! Make sure you book as it's super popular and there isn't even standing room at the bar.
Dianna DuffyAugust 6, 2013Absolutely wonderful. Service was fantastic; quick, but not on top of you all night. We had raw oysters, capellini with crab, grilled tuna, and two sides: stewed okra and smashed potatoes.
Linda DunlapApril 2, 2016Note to self...ordered oysters (area 3), fried bread, fish sticks, brussel sprouts, beet salad...and the Peche 75. 1st stop of 3 at our Donald Link restaurants.
Connie MMarch 26, 2014Gumbo was delish! Seafood was so tender it melted in your mouth. Red shrimp were good but couldn't bring myself to eat the heads. Waiting for dessert, a chocolate cherry flour less cake.
Adam SigelMarch 13, 2016The sweet potatoes that come with the chicken diablo are incredible. Oysters, hush puppies, brussel sprouts, and ribeye for the table also very good.
Kate CiurejJuly 4, 2016Love the crab claws, oysters, and Parish IPA. Lots of beers (bottles, cans, taps) to choose from.
Shawn CalhounJuly 26, 2018A must dine in NoLa. Staff is awesome and will get you what you need — just ask!
Jeremy FergusonJune 24, 2014Seriously some of the best food I've ever had in my life. Get the fish sticks. Get the LA Shrimp Roll. And the Brussels sprouts. Oh... And the PB PIE.
Natalie BurnsJune 14, 2018As a seafood lover I was really excited about going to Pêche, but as soon as the $7 Shrimp Toast snack arrived my excitement turned to concern. Bland, unambitious food, definitely not “seafood”.
Elias BizAugust 7, 2017Jumbo shrimp were not that jumbo (but very tasty). The grilled Cobia with the rice pilaf and eggplant was so delicious I had to write all the ingredients for this review.
Guillermo MendozaMay 17, 2013Best fresh oysters I have had and tonights special appetaizer raw fish tuna with corn & lime excellent. Them the mussels with fennel and the grilled tuna spectacular!
Ed MeckesDecember 29, 2023The catfish was great. They were overbooked and understaffed: only got one drink, chaotic atmosphere, very tight seating. Wasn’t feeling the vibe.
Tuğba AltanJuly 1, 2016Peche is a beatufil place to have a dinner or just have nice drink! I like the place however the fish may be cooked a bit more.- Marigny9October 27, 2015Sister to Cochon & Herbsaint, this James Beard Award winner doesn't disappoint with dishes like crab + jalapeño capellini & smoked tuna dip. Specials change daily.
Joanne WrightFebruary 28, 2014Two course meal for two people with a wine, beer and two coffees... $120. But absolutely delicious. A place for a treat or special occasion.
Manny FerroMay 26, 2016Get the baked drum or the special (mahi for me) smoked tuna dip and beef tartare
Wael HazzaziDecember 24, 2017The baked drum in coconut broth is mouthwatering, haven't enjoyed a dish like that in a long time
Natalie LeMossFebruary 10, 2022Any entree is delicious, but we were most impressed by the sides! Brabant potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and crispy broccoli!- Tracie LeeJanuary 31, 2015Don't fill up on gumbo or hush puppies - the whole fish, baked drum in lemon broth or any of the specials is where it's at.
