Olga, raised in Southern France and Paris, and Jacques raised in France’s Loire Valley and Brittany, bring a eclectic French Cuisine perspective to Pescadou Bistro. Chef Jacques de Quillien was previously the owner of Le Mistral, in Corona del Mar. Prior to Newport Beach he worked as a Chef in Montreal, Coral Gables, Houston, and San Diego.

Pescadou Bistro is a family atmosphere & owned. It's Chef's are unparalleled & Food is Award Winning & always looked for twice every year for 21 years, a few hiccups here & there throughout to try another place just because & not because of the Food & returned the next year & following years & intend to for years to come. Why return, why so many times, well when you have a small, intimate place, family owned & family operated & the food is among the best in all of Orange County & French done well like it should be & it's off the beaten path or radar & throw in owners know their clientele by name & what they enjoy & great service, well than you have something & why would go anywhere else for special events. I've experienced things I never would anywhere else & it's truly French Food done with respect. True gem & worth it every time.

A lovely French country restaurant with excellent French preparations. We had a very nice server that took great care of us. The baguettes are addictive with the Charcuterie platter. Excellent salad and soup as well as the entrees. Our family had Duck, Trout, and Rabbit with perfect sauce pairings. We didn't have room for dessert but many appealing options. Look forward to our next visit.

What a delightful meal at Pescadou. These folks have made the most of their limited outdoor space, making it as lovely as they can. The food? Fabulous. We enjoyed the Bouillabaisse, the Cassoulet, the Hangar Steak, and the Chicken Breast, and every meal was delicious. Don’t miss the delicious soups and salads and always leave room for dessert. Jacques and Olga are the most lovely people!

Pescadou never disappoints! Always our favorite 'go-to' for the best meal, the best ambiance, the best feeling. Never had a bad experience.

The absolutely finest dining experience one could ever hope to realize.
This marks my 19th year dining at Pescadou French Bistro and the latest experience makes it well worth the 100 mile round trip to experience such incredibly great food and flawless service.

The lamb chops were a bit tough, or chewy. Not as juicy as usually encountered when ordering elsewhere.

This is the perfect restaurant for a romantic evening. Very intimate, friendly staff, good food. It is the most "French" of all French restaurants in Orange County.

From the moment we were greeted by our hostess, we knew we were in for a great experience. She gave us perfect recommendations. Then we met Erwin, our server. He was right out of Paris, but he spoke to us in English. He is such a professional. Every bite of our dinners was perfection. Then the strawberry dessert topped everything off. We look forward to returning.

Pescadou is always an indulgence we love. The food is perfectly prepared, everything is authentic, and the owners & staff are a pleasure. Every time we visit we are impressed with out experience - this is renewed each time.
We've been going for years but unfortunately we do not reside in CA so it's only 2-3 times a year.
The wine list is superb, the desserts will stay with you in your dreams.

Having outdoor seating for covid is important however, when it is on a sidewalk with a busy street with horns blaring and sirens going it is not a nice atmosphere. The food was excellent. The price was expected. The ambience of seating out side was not ideal. The service was good- not great. I really HATE when servers come to your table with the excuse to clean up constantly to move you on- it is NOT subtle and having just spent $300 on dinner would have like the staff to have the decency to wait. We were there 3.5 hours- not bad for a birthday dinner that had appetizers, soups, salads meals and desserts with coffee/tea. It was just annoying to be interrupted every 15 minutes into a story or conversation to ask if we wanted something else, next time would we want more water or coffee, another time can I get these plates, final time did we want something else, etc. It really made me just want to stay longer - if you want to be irritating so can I especially if your taking my money for it.

We love this place! The food is always excellent and the staff knowledgeable and friendly. We sat outside by choice and the traffic is a bit loud. The inside, however, Is quite comfortable.

It was a warm & balmy eve & the Pinot Noir with the Latin was delicious
Service was on a par First class. It was like being at a seaside summer resort including the traffic. The Tour de France did not pass by.

The food was like being in France, extraordinary. The staff was knowledgeable and on spot. Unfortunately, because of Covid, we had to eat outside on the sidewalk next to the traffic but it all faded away as soon as the food arrived. 10++
