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 ⭐️“

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

“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.“

“We absolutely love coming to this restaurant. When we are in new orleans, the food is fresh and hot and the drinks are wonderful.The staff was very help and attentive.“

“Recently went for lunch at MRB during our vacation in New Orleans. It was the best gumbo we had on our whole trip, and we had it at a few places! I also loved the fried green tomato sandwich. Don't let the fact that this is a food truck in the courtyard of a bar deceive you...food is delish!!“

“Stellar food, service, and atmosphere!“

“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.“

Fabulous food with plenty of choices, an incredibly talented jazz trio playing around the restaurant, and wait staff who seemed genuinely happy to be there. Clearly this is a business that values their employees. Thank you for making the day fantastic!!!“

“Came down from Austin with my wife to celebrate her sisters wedding. Our hotel concierge recommended this place and at first impressions it didn't seem too great. But after we sat down at the bar and met the brunette bartender, Jessica, our visit here turned out amazing. Best Old fashioned I've ever had! We will be back“

“I’m kinda mad cause No one suggested this place when I was looking for good food around town! Like Nacho Libre said “it’s the beeeesssssttttt”“

“Great vibe and decor. Bonnie was a fantastic host and the food was amazing. 5*“

“my absolute favorite place for boiled crawfish and mushrooms. Their burgers are fantastic as well. The service can be slow at times, but I enjoy sitting on the patio anyways, so I don't mind the wait. Love the outdoor hand washing station too- it is so convenient“

“best crawfish I've ever had!“

“Excellent experience. Super friendly staff . Great food! Dog friendly. Nice outside dinning“

“my daughter and I ate at the Oceana Grill tonight and it was absolutely fantastic we had the most amazing waiter he was awesome very tall very handsome so amazing we said in the courtyard and my Margaritas were fantastic my meal was amazing the conversation was epic“

“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.“

“This place has been opened for 6 mos and we wanted to give it a try. The chicken and red beans was amazing. The red fish I would give rating of 3.5 out of 5. The green beans and potatoes were alright. The atmosphere is gorgeous and service was nice. If ever near the river walk…give it a try.“

“Frank and Emily were extremely warm and friendly. Frank served us breakfast all three days we were there and was really nice chatting and getting to know him. Food was excellent and the hotel was very clean and inviting. Alex at the front desk helped us understand all our benefits on check in and never felt rushed. Thank you for a great stay. We will be back to visit you during our next NOLA trip!“

“This place really left a lasting impression. From the hostess, our server, the bathrooms, food, price point, time we spent. Everything was on point. We had oysters, gumbo, bisque, redfish, and house salad. Everything was divine!!! Keep up the good work! Also loved that it was so very clean.“

“Oysters were great and the Po Boy was phenomenal!!!“

“We went to celebrate a birthday and they made it one to remember! Our waiter was so attentive and took great care of us. He made us feel like we were the only ones in the room. Food was amazing! We will definitely visit again and will recommend to friends coming to visit New Orleans!“

“A convenient place to eat since it's in our hotel. The shrimp and grits were delish, the chicken & sausage gumbo was not too dark it was perfect for the rainy weather. The oysters were good but I kept biting into pieces of shells which made it difficult to enjoy since I have to carefully eat it. Overall service, food and the atmosphere with old history photos is a 10 and highly recommended.“

“Probably the best dining experience we’ve had in years. Service was on point and their massive crawfish with the boil house seasoning were cooked perfectly! So juicy, claws and all easily came out the shell intact. Flavor not just heat. Those Parmesan truffle fries are worth mentioning too. So good! Already planning our next dinner there.“

“Wonderful experience! First time to this restaurant which did not disappoint. I am GF and the calamari was sublime - husband not GF and loved it too. Had delish fried shrimp and it has been so long since I last had fried shrimp - one of my all time fave foods. The ambiance perfect, service wonderful and can’t wait to go back.“

“Can one of my most beautiful experiences? Louisiana delicious food and very friendly people very kind it really was wonderful to celebrate our anniversary in this place.“

“Amazing food, drinks and people. Highly recommend!!!“

“The moment our server popped up to our table I knew it was going to be a great experience. Maggie was our server and took excellent care of us. The food didn't disappoint. I'm in love with their Oysters Rockefeller. Seawitch is the best place to grab a bite and hang for the parade. It's such a fun vibe!“

“Best meal I had in New Orleans! Such an amazing menu. I had a really hard time choosing a meal! The chicken satay was awesome as was the squid ink seafood Udon! Love the Thai Mule as well!“

“For the past 17 years, I’ve been a loyal customer of this amazing restaurant through both their original and new locations and I always take my food to go. Whether I’m grabbing a quick dinner after a long day or picking up something special for a cozy night in, they never disappoint. The steak is phenomenal. Even in a takeout container, it arrives perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. You can taste the care in every bite seasoned just right and always tender. It’s the kind of steak that makes you look forward to your next meal before you’ve even finished the first. And the pasta? Absolutely comforting. Rich sauces, fresh ingredients, and pasta cooked to perfection every dish travels well and tastes just as good at home as it does in the restaurant. Whether it’s creamy Alfredo or a bold marinara, it’s always satisfying. The move to the new location didn’t change a thing about the quality they’ve only gotten better. The consistency, the flavor, and the service have remained top-tier, making this my go-to spot for takeout meals that feel like a treat. Here’s to 17 years of delicious memories and many more to come. If you haven’t tried their steak and pasta to go, you’re missing out on a takeout experience that truly stands out.
