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.
"The Salted Pearl — best name for an oyster bar ever — is just one of the swell vendors at the St. Roch Market, and the only one that serves raw oysters. Micah Martello and Karen Carlson run this classy bar, which offers a super happy hour and a rotating menu of seafood specials. For home shuckers, oysters are sometimes available by the sack." - Beth D'Addono
"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
