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....“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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“

“By Far the best food we have eaten here in New Orleans so far!! Highly recommend! There were 6 of us and every one of us loved our plates. They have a variety to choose from and the portion sizes are huge! Not to mention the great service! The waiters and waitress are the best!!! If you’re here in New Orleans don’t miss out!!“

“I am allergic to gluten, dairy and corn. The place was fantastic. The waitress went to the cook and asked him what I could eat on the menu. I was very happy with what I got to eat. I highly recommend this place if you have food allergies.“

“The food and the service!“

“Great food and service. This was our first eating experience in New Orleans. Gallier’s set the bar high. We enjoyed the red snapper and seafood platter for lunch.“

“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.“

“Our go to place for fresh seafood. Today, gumbo, incredibly fresh seafood platter for two, baked mac and cheese followed by their bread pudding Everything was delicious, the service was good, see you next Thursday!“

“Classic steakhouse replete with a piano player singer. Kiley McDonnel was great, she has original songs as well as a nice repertoire. I particularly enjoyed a couple Carole King and Billy Joel songs. Had a couple glasses of Daou Cabernet Sauvignon which was great. I like pretty much anything made in Paso Robles. Started with a Salad and Shrimp appetizer. I enjoy salad that is precut into bite size pieces like this one. The shrimp were giant and had a pleasant texture. I had the classic Filet Mignon, Baked Potato, Asparagus and Bread, all of which were amazing. My pictures were partially mid meal so the steak picture has a bite of Seabass from my companion. That was nicely seasoned with a little bit of a crunchy exterior. We split the Chocolate Cake and Ice Cream 3 ways and it was still too much. Tasted great but big enough to feed a small town.“

“Great food and great service! The owner is very helpful. We own a small dive bar in MS and we have used many of the ideas that Cooter Browns does! This is a stop for us when we are in town.“

“The Best place to eat in New Orleans!!!“

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience at this restaurant!

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.

Thank you so much for such an amazing and memorable experience. We will definitely be coming back!“

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.“

Family friend took me here once, never forgot this place. 💯💯💯“
