Pescadou, located within the historic Hotel Viking on Bellevue Avenue in Newport, is often described as a hidden gem. The restaurant offers a stunning, elegant, and cozy atmosphere with timeless décor that transports guests. The experience is both sophisticated and charming.
The food is consistently amazing, with chefs taking classics and adding unique elements. Standout dishes include a fabulous Cajun Salmon with a flavorful glaze, served over wild rice, and an exceptionally tender and succulent short rib special. The Scampi Pasta is noted as one of the better pastas, and the Seared Scallops are plump and fresh. For starters, the Burrata Strawberry Salad and a unique take on the Burrata salad are highly praised. The butternut bisque and winter vegan salad are also excellent. Desserts feature an Apple Crosstata and, for afternoon tea, a masterpiece tea tower with savory delights, perfect scones, a standout lemon blueberry pound cake, a heavenly cranberry scone, and a whimsical top tier of macarons, an exquisite éclair, and a raspberry cake.
The bar at One Bellevue crafts exceptional drinks, most notably an exquisite, perfectly balanced Gimlet that is considered unparalleled. The service is super friendly, helpful, and a sheer delight, contributing greatly to the enjoyable and unforgettable experience. This combination of impeccable flavors, stunning ambiance, and outstanding service makes Pescadou a highly recommended destination in Newport.
