St Roch Market

The Salted Pearl has my favorite raw oysters in the city and my favorite shrimp cocktail. I have to stop myself from just sitting at their bar and eating all day- you must try! The charbroiled oysters are delicious, too, and I heard multiple people ordering the lobster mac and cheese so that's next.

What made today's happy hour visit more special was the shucker (shucktress?!) Victoria. Shucking oysters is serious manual labor and not only is she a pro, she engaged with her patrons and was so amiable. Even with a person who rudely addressed her, Victoria didn't miss a beat in professionalism- a hard task for anyone working with the public. I will truly be back, not only for the best raw oysters and shrimp cocktail, but to have the best service and personality in hospitality- Victoria.

*Don't miss trying the delicious salt concoction on the oysters- fantastic!

I have to give a shoutout to the bartender during happy hour, as well. I wish I had asked his name!! He was a true professional, too, as well as just being a sweet, funny, decent person.

Finding gems like this in the service industry is hard so I hope they are treated and paid accordingly. Wonderful experience tonight and can't wait to go back.

I've been to NOLA a few times but mainly spent time in the French Quarter and Warehouse District. My coworker recommended I check out St. Roch Market since it's where he and his family often frequent when they visit New Orleans. They specifically go for the oysters. That being said, I thought St. Roch Market was a seafood restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised to find a communal space with several food vendors. My friends and I checked out St. Roch Market around 12pm on a Monday. About half of the vendor stands were open, so we split up and tried different things.

CR Coffee Shop - I got the sweet vanilla cream cold brew, which was what the doctor ordered. It had the perfect amount of sweetness.

Family Cajun Kitchen - Their creamy garlic butter parmesan chicken was so flavorful and had a kick from the Cajun seasoning. Loved the roasted pepper taste.

Taceaux Loceaux - Ordered a brisket and bulgogi taco. These were very tasty, but the side of beans were absolute fire!

The Salted Pearl - I had a bad experience with Charbroiled oysters at a spot in the French Quarter and never gave them a shot again. My friend got a dozen of Salted Pearl's, which looked 1000x's better than the ones I tried before. They tasted as good as they looked. The oysters were plump and juicy, and I liked the cheesy bake on top.

We visited the market again after many years of skipping it. There are new vendors to try. We enjoyed the spring rolls at Slow and Pho (they were huge!) and the drip coffee, vanilla latte, and salted caramel cookie from Coast Roast. There is a super friendly bartender at the bar at the end of the market (which also has an excellent happy hour). There was a new charcuterie business at the end of the hall too (which we didn't try). If you haven't been by the market in a while, give it another chance. It is still pricey and may be warm and crowded inside. Still worth a visit if you're in the area.

I went to pass time before a nearby event. I wanted a place I could grab some wine, sit in the cool air or patio if I wanted to enjoy the summer heat, and even order food if need be. I was luckily there during happy hour so wine was $7 a glass. The bartender was very chill and attentive to all guests seated.

Cute little market to grab some lunch. I got a sandwich at a little spot to the right as soon as you walk in.

In a neighborhood full of murals is a food hall. With free onsite parking, St. Roch Market is one open space with a handful of vendors selling coffee, tacos, pho, and more. For lunch, my wife enjoyed the pho and I the laksa (a Malaysian soup). After eating, the staff bus your food for you.

New spot open in the Market today! Lunch. You have to go try their AHHHMAZING sandwiches! The fresh made bread and quality meats, cheeses and spreads are delicious! I cannot stress how good this place is! What a great addition to the Market! I hope they are there to stay!

Weird. I'm pretty sure that I've reviewed St Roch Market before but it's not there now. The market has had it's ups and downs since opening in 2015. It's currently under new management. And it shows!

Compared to my trip around MG, my visit last month was a whole new venue! Vendor booths were almost completely filled and there was a good variety of food and drinks offered. My Mom had a falafel wrap and I had a sushirito both were delicious. It was Mom's first trip and she really enjoyed wandering through.

I'm glad to see the Market back on the upswing! And I can't wait to stop by again soon.

Wow the market has made a turn around! The last time I was there many of the vendor stalls were empty and there were only a few people who came in. This Sunday the place was bustling with people and there were so many vendors! I got a plate of nachos from Taceaux Loceaux and a mango margarita that was a special for Cinco de Mayo. The tacos and margarita were both delicious! I'm glad that they've turned the place around and we'll be back!

I love running in to st. Roch for coffee in the morning at cost roast.

Today I ran in and grabbed a biscuit from fried and true... dude it wasn't done! Ewww... it was pretty good until o got a mouthful of dough!

I will have to say any other time I've gone I've gotten good service and food. It's pricey but you get to choose from different types of food in one place! So I say go give it a go it's worth it.
