Revived from its 19th-century roots, St. Roch Market is a buzzing food hall where local vendors serve everything from oysters to pho, all with a laid-back vibe.
"St. Roch Market offers a few options for seafood chilling. Get whatever the seasonal ceviche is from chef Micah Martello at the Salted Pearl, for starters. And chef Than “Lin” Regules at Lin’s Sushi stall offers a variety of poke bowls made to order, with choices including salmon and spicy tuna with a mix of chopped fruit and veggies and sauce flavors like miso and teriyaki." - Beth D'Addono
"St. Roch Market is a revamped food hall in New Orleans, now operated by Kevin Pedeaux since September 2023. It hosts a variety of popular vendors and has seen a revival with new offerings and a robust roster of vendors." - Clair Lorell
"A food hall located inside a restored building from the 1800s, St. Roch Market brings together a wide range of local vendors that serve things like oysters, Vietnamese food, charcuterie, fresh pastries, cocktails, and more. It’s a great place to check out for brunch or lunch before exploring the Marigny, or if you’re with a group and everyone just happens to be in the mood for something different." - team infatuation, megan braden perry
"Elysian Market is located just blocks from New Orleans’s last remaining food hall, St. Roch Market. That food hall has undergone a major shift since summer 2023, when the owner of one of its original vendors, Kevin Pedeaux of CR Coffee Shop, took over the lease from its prior operator. It was on the brink of closure before Pedeaux stepped in, after a particularly slow summer and reaching an all-time low number of vendors. Since taking over, Pedeaux has restored the market to 11 vendors, a mix of original operators and newcomers." - Clair Lorell
"After years of dwindling vendors and a particularly slow summer, New Orleans’s last remaining food hall, St. Roch Market, was on the brink of closure by the end of August. That was before one of its original vendors, CR Coffee Shops owner Kevin Pedeaux, stepped in. Pedeaux took over the food hall’s hefty lease in September and has since dedicated his time to rebuilding the once-buzzing building. Pedeaux, who can typically be found at the food hall from morning to night and has managed to bring back some of the hall’s other original vendors as well as add new ones, tells Eater St. Roch is “full up with 11 vendors” with a waiting list, and promises further “exciting” changes soon. It’s a welcome turnaround for the historic market and building, which hasn’t had a full roster of vendors since prior to the pandemic." - Clair Lorell
