50 Best Seafood Restaurants in New Orleans

“We love the French Quarter, but Magazine Street never disappoints. Lunch at Pêche today and it was so worth it: tuna dip, lightly battered fish sticks, and a fried oyster salad & the best old fashioned. Incredible food, great atmosphere. 10/10 ⭐️“

“My husband and I went on Friday night for dinner. Could not wait to try the new menu and it was simply awesome. To start with, our sever team was Isaac and Cheyanne and they were great. We never waited for anything. The Hot Crab Claws and Foie Gras Torte for appetizers were divine. I ordered the Duck Cassoulet and my husband had the visiting fish, Sea Bass over Yakamein. While the fish was excellent, the Duck ruled the table. Thanks to the Servers and Kitchen for a wonderful meal. We'll be back.“

“Excellent experience. Highly recommend. We tried almost half the menu, drinks and desserts included. Great all around.“

“Absolutely loved the fried catfish and fries. Was vacationing in Gulf Coast area thankfully we found this place. Going back in October....“

“Parkway will ALWAYS be a favorite for me and my family. We absolutely love their poboy’s. This place is #1 in our opinion ❤️“

“A classic New Orleans stop for a reason. Yes, it gets busy, but the line moves and the experience is worth it. The oysters were fresh and flavorful, and overall the food delivered on that classic New Orleans seafood experience. The energy inside is lively and fun, which adds to it. We particularly love the raw oysters and grilled oysters. The Fried fish, potato salad and even coleslaw we’re actually pretty good as well It’s definitely more on the touristy side, but sometimes that’s exactly what you want when you’re visiting — a staple that lives up to the hype.“

Gianni, the host, was incredibly polite, welcoming, and helpful. He went out of his way to help us find a beautiful spot in the restaurant, which made our experience even more special.

It was truly an honor to meet Chef Wiley and have such a lovely conversation with her. Her desserts are absolutely irresistible, especially the brownies! And the food was simply incredible — honestly, it felt like a little piece of heaven.

Our server, Cean, made our experience truly unforgettable with his wonderful service, great sense of humor, and beautiful smile. He made us feel so welcomed and taken care of throughout the entire evening.

“We had a 10/10 experience here! The atmosphere and drinks were excellent. The food was so good - highly recommend the beignets and the fondue! The service was also excellent from the moment we walked in and spoke to the hostess. Brandi, our server, was so kind and the perfect level of attentiveness. She also gave great recommendations for food and drinks, which we took her up on and which lived up to the hype! Will definitely come here again next time we are in NOLA.“

“Just wanted to say thanks David. We had a blast at your place. We caught the football 4th quarter, and had great cocktails. The staff member Anna was very friendly and did a A+ job shucking 3 dozen oysters that were perfectly done… clean and left the liquor in them. I was so pleased I tipped her $30 separate from the tip on the check / server. I just wished we lived there so we could return frequently. BIG Thank you for your hospitality. It was a highlight of our very awesome trip to NOLA.“
