Founded in 1913, this family-run, Italian-Creole restaurant is located in uptown New Orleans. It is famous for creating barbecued shrimp.

This neighborhood restaurant is vintage New Orleans, from the service to the decor. The oyster bar is always manned by a friendly shucker. The oysters are fresh, salty, and delicious.

The old time oyster bar and cocktail bar offers raw oysters on the half shell and all types of cocktails. We offer fine seafood, Italian specialties, and delicious steaks.

In 2023, Dickie Brennan & Co. welcomed Pascal's Manale into their restaurant family.

    Had lunch reservations on a Tuesday. Not crowded. Service a bit slow as we waited to get menus and drinks when those who arrived later than us had service. Once we had a waiter all was good. Food excellent.

    Wallpaper peeling off the wall - dirty tablecloth & carpet - untrained staff - inedible food. Veal Piccata tasted like bottled lemon juice - Marsala was sugary - Barbecue Shrimp sauce was watery and fishy tasting. Oysters Rockefeller & Bienville just weren’t good. We had such high hopes for this place with new ownership by Dickie Brennan, but it was horrible.

    Disappointing would be generous. We have been here several times before, but not recently. We always stop here when in New Orleans and had looked forward with great anticipation to this return visit. We had a great server, but that is all I can say good. We always have barbecued shrimp, their signature dish. Perhaps because we chose the option of peeled and detained shrimp, we were served a bowl of smallish shrimp in a broth lacking in both taste and mouth feel. I don't know if something has changed in the recipe, but it was not nearly up to our memories. At lunch, the dining room was so noisy that the conversation was painful. I doubt we will return, and we will try to erase this meal from our memory.

    Sadly our rating does not match the recommendations we received nor the online reviews nor the photos from the stars. Food was NOT hot at all and barely warm which is not great for Italian. Meatball was awful tasted like a ball of overcooked burger.

    I was born and raised in New Orleans. I don’t live there now but every time I return, Pascal’s Manale is a destination. The service is fantastic, the food is consistently amazing and it’s one of the only restaurants where I feel treated like family every time.

    Mediocre at best. Nice atmosphere but I’d skip it. Food was typical but underwhelming. Service was ok.
