Peche Seafood Grill in New Orleans has a relatively spacious and comfortable layout. We were lucky to get a booth in the corner by the kitchen, which made the experience very private and quiet. I think sitting closer to other tables might make the experience feel less enjoyable, given how busy the restaurant can get.
Our waiter was excellent — attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. The food overall was good, with a few standout dishes. The steak tartare was my favorite — easily the best I’ve ever had — and the dessert was also excellent. The pasta dish was very memorable and flavorful as well.
Some other dishes, however, didn’t quite hit the mark for me. The fried oyster salad and the crab fried rice didn’t match my palate, and the fish sticks were overly greasy, with too much breading and oil, which made them difficult to enjoy after a few bites.
Overall, Peche offers some truly standout dishes and a nice dining atmosphere, but not everything will appeal to everyone. If you get a quiet corner booth and pick the right dishes, it’s a very enjoyable experience.

Wonderful service always. We love sitting at the bar, it’s like dinner and a show. The shrimp and eggplant in sambal was amazing- so sad it’s just a special that isn’t always available. I’ve come here with a friend who had a ton of dietary restrictions and they just created something off menu for her and it was all delicious. Some cocktails are a bit spirit forward so be sure to ask for reccomendations if you don’t love that.

Pêche is in the Warehouse District in New Orleans.
This restaurant is amazing!
My wife and I started off with a few drinks at the bar and were well taken care of by Amanda and Sam.
The place was packed and we were offered a seat at the oyster bar when they also had five empty tables so we decided just to stay at the bar where we felt welcome by these two lovely people.
We were pleased to meet Jonathan , the Mayor of Pêche. He was kind enough to guide us through the menu and suggested all of the things we chose to eat, except for our dessert. He recommended Keylime pie, but we decided not to have that. However, the folks next to us did order it and said it was absolutely incredible.
We enjoyed all of the dishes that we had, including a couple of different crab dishes, some shrimp dishes, and incredible fish sticks. The menu here is very fun and creative. This place is a real treat. We just walked by and saw it. It was packed late on a Sunday night, so we figured it must be good. It was excellent. We may well go back for dinner tomorrow.

Fantastic crab dish, but some of our other dishes were very salty. Service was great and clearly a spot loved by locals! Great value overall. It’s very load so if you are hard of hearing sit at the counter so you are next to each other.

Overall great experience, the seafood gumbo was very tasty! We got the whole fish which was cooked well however it would have been good to get some serving utensils that were large/ sharp to make it easier to fillet the fish. It would have been ideal for the kitchen to do it. I’m out a a restaurant, I don’t feel to fillet the fish and monitor for bones. Space is lovely.

My experience at Peche in New Orleans was absolutely fantastic! We started off our evening with some delicious cocktails at the bar while we waited for our table. The old fashioned and Manhattan were expertly crafted and set the tone for the rest of the meal.
For appetizers, we tried the tuna crudo and seafood gumbo, both of which were bursting with flavor and left us wanting more. The baked drum with sticky rice was a definite highlight, with the perfect balance of textures and tastes.
While the chocolate peanut pie was good, it wasn't my favorite dish of the night. However, the overall quality of the food more than made up for it.
The service was attentive and friendly, although they did forget to ask about any food allergies. Despite this small hiccup, our overall dining experience was top-notch. I highly recommend Peche for a wonderful meal in New Orleans and will definitely be returning in the future.

Great food if you like seafood, of course and good location with the WWii museum so close by as well as the Convention Centre.
Wood-fired seafood done right. I had oysters and black drum — briny, smoky, simple but bold flavors. The open kitchen and raw bar give a relaxed edge even when the place is packed. Staff moved like they knew every seat needed attention. Great spot for a night when you want serious seafood without the fluff.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE oh my gosh. 🤩 Mom, bf, and I went here for dinner. Everything tasted fresh, well balanced, and DELICIOUS. Shishito peppers and tuna entree were 11/10. I have a shellfish allergy, and was fine! Angelo was super patient, sweet, and enthusiastic — really, all the staff were super attentive and friendly. Very reasonably priced for quality of food and service; didn’t feel overpriced or overrated. Was quite loud when we went (hard to hear each other), but it was just that busy!

Extremely disappointing. The food does not live up to the hype, it is simply adequate. Except for the ‘jumbo’ shrimps which were small and not at all worth the price charged.
