I just had a perfectly delightful evening at Pescadou. A friend and I get together every couple of months to catch up with one another. Pescadou is not a fancy frilly place but a warm cozy neighborhood cafe where you would feel comfortable coming back again and again. The menu had just enough variety that you wouldn't get bored with... more

I first visted Pescadou Bistro in 2001, and was very impressed with the food, but not so impressed with the atmosphere. They have since remodeled, and have arrived as a culinary force in Newport Beach. The atmosphere is cozy and warm. The service is very attentive and the waiter knowledgable about the food, especially when I asked where they obtained... more

Jacques is a very good owner and always makes people feel part of this lovely bistro. The menue varies from the standard to the chalkboard to the monthly specials (April in Paris) -- always something different and good. His wine list is more varied than you might expect for a small place but do try the different ones. This is... more

The meal was simply outstanding - the best french meal we've had in years. The service was excellent. The menu was quite varied and included beef, pork roast and fish all in traditional french-style. The pate was obviously fresh and home made. Even our young teens found plenty to whet their appetites. They have reasonably priced wines, from both the... more

Sitting in a small pocket off of the busy Newport Blvd., Pescadou Bistro is the perfect place for a romantic dinner, a casual lunch or just a way to treat yourself and unwind. I have been to Pescadou Bistro a few times now (three maybe four) and I always find the service impeccable, the food magnificent and the experience memorable.... more

We visited Pescadou Bistro twice this weekend (April 7 and April 9) and found it excellent in every respect. Over the two visits, we ordered trout (perfectly cooked, piping hot, with buttered almonds), rabbit, duck breast with green peppercorn sauce, and halibut in beurre blanc. All were delicious and well-prepared. Accompaniments were good: tiny green beans, spinach, mashed potatoes (the... more
