In the late 1800’s, Royal Street was home to a famous “curio” shop, a place where curiosities from all over the world could be had for a dollar or two. Today, the shop is no more, but the feeling of excitement and wonder still exists on Royal Street today. And so in the heart of the most premier art district in New Orleans, we’re bringing back the curiosity – reintroducing New Orleans to a circus of flavor so vibrant it makes other restaurants nearby pale in comparison.

For apps, we did BBQ Shrimp, Firecracker Tuna Tacos, Lobster Dumplings + Yellowfin Tuna Yakitori. We shared the Scalibut. It was the best dish we had last night. For dessert, we got Bread Pudding + Carajillo. The service did feel a bit pushy. We ordered a bottle of 2022 Pinot Noir, would have liked to “drink in peace”. The restaurant smelled fishy when we entered, guess it’s expected from a seafood establishment.

Best food we had in New Orleans! Well balanced, great taste and for once (which is very rare in the US apparently), normal portion size instead of those xxxxl portions you get over here. As always a little bit expensive, but definitely worth a visit!

What a wonderful experience! My sister in law says she always visits Red Fish so we had to go. Our server was fantastic. The food was amazing (remember to order the bread pudding in advance!) and we will be back.
