Pépite is a French seafood bistro on Donghu Lu from the same team behind Blaz and Babar nearby. Housed in a small white building with big windows and a tented exterior, it channels the feel of a relaxed French port-side seafood spot, with a simple interior and a central tiled table that sets the tone. The menu is short and seasonal, built around fresh seafood prepared in a straightforward French style—think whole fish, prawns, clams, octopus, and the occasional classic like bouillabaisse when available—meant for sharing rather than lingering over courses. Wines are mostly French, with a noticeable focus on the Loire and Burgundy. It’s an easy, casual place for seafood and a glass or two, fitting neatly into Donghu Lu’s growing cluster of laid-back, European-leaning restaurants.
