About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Charming

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.

Sunday evening we took 2 couples who had not been to Pascal’s before. We had been before and loved the food and service. Less than 6 tables of guest at any one time. Server was fantastic. Very knowledgeable about the menu and wanted our experience to be the best. Unfortunately, our main course took over an hour to arrive. The cheese App was tasty but visually terrible. Server was disappointed and had it remade. Second helping was even better. Several ordered their famous Bar-b-qshrimp. Loved it. However; one main course (veal & bar-b-w shrimp) was inedible. Server commented on how over cooked it was and they should not have sent it out. They took it off the bill. Another main course (steak) was sent back because very overcooked. The 2nd steak was just as bad. Inedible. Didn’t charge us. We’ll give it another try but we won’t recommend Pascale’s again until we have the experience have been used to.

First time at this iconic restaurant, meeting a long time lover of the location for lunch. Services was excellent, food was solid but nothing special. BBQ shrimp and grits was watery, catfish well fried but sauce was nothing special. Brad pudding was excellent. Oddly the bread, while warm, was rock hard…very atypical for a Brennan’s place. There was a quite pungent smell in the lobby. Hope to return for the oyster bar another time.
Pascal's ManaleResponded on July 5, 2025
Hey John, Thank you for choosing Pascal's Manale and for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our service but it appears we could have improved on the Shrimp and Grits and possibly kick up the flavor in the catfish sauce. It's always our goal to provide a satisfying dining experience, and we're sorry to hear that our BBQ shrimp and grits and catfish didn't deliver. Thankfully, the bread pudding hit the mark! Also, your feedback about the bread is noted, and we'll certainly look into this. Sincerely, Lee (AGM)

Pascal's is like "Old Faithful", never fails to show up and show out. Lived in NOLA some years ago, and this was where special events/dates were celebrated. This time I brought my family, and they/we were overjoyed by the service, ambiance and the food. No it is not in the quarter, but a quick ride service gets you there. Do it, make a reservation, you will NOT be disappointed.

"Old Faithful"! That's great! Much appreciate your sentiment and glad we were able to keep a place that's not in the quarter where you could come to create some new memories for you and your family! Next time you're in town, please come by and say hello. Sincerely, Lee (AGM)

Incredibly loud. Had a very pleasant server but she had too many tables and there were long intervals between ordering and receiving food. Never checked about our drinks- but I think she was handling too many tables. I had the grilled fish which was slightly overcooked and the pasta was so bland, I had to use salt and pepper to get any taste. Bread pudding was delicious. Quality of food and service has decreased over past 3-4 years.
Pascal's ManaleResponded on June 21, 2025
Thanks for the review, Bob. We're sorry to hear about the noise level and service issues you experienced during your visit. Sometimes we have a rowdy cast of characters visit and causes the noise level to escalate unfortunately. We take your feedback seriously and will use it to improve. I'm glad you enjoyed our bread pudding. Take care, Lee (AGM)

I came in for dinner during Restaurant Week and was totally impressed by the stellar food and service! Keith, Casey, and Dante took great care of us and all of the dishes ordered were truly fantastic! Our favorites were the pomodoro bucco, court bouillon, and fish pascal. We will definitely be returning soon!
Pascal's ManaleResponded on June 20, 2025
Ali, thanks so much for scoring us so well AND sharing your wonderful feedback on the cuisine and service. Looks like you elected to try the Restaurant Week 3-course dinner menu. That Pomodoro Buco stuffed with the burrata and ricotta over polenta with the veal au jus, just speaks to my soul! SOOO good. I appreciate the shout out to Keith, Casey and Dante and will surely recognize them at our pre-shift meeting. Come back and visit anytime. Cheers!! Lee (AGM)

Went this Sunday 6/15/2025 for Father’s Day.I have been to this restaurant many many times and had great experiences but this time was awful.No one came to our table for 15 minutes no apology or explanation.She took our drink orders and didn’t return for another 15 minutes.Still no bread was delivered.When she finally came back to take our order she neglected to tell us about the specials until I prompted her.Food took 25 minutes to come out and she forgot to bring my wifes salad which took another 15 minutes.When the main Entrees came out my never did.15 minutes later it still hadn’t come out so I cancelled it.I observed the other tables and no one else had the same treatment
Pascal's ManaleResponded on June 19, 2025
Thanks for the feedback, Kenny. We're truly sorry to hear about your recent experience at Pascal's Manale. We understand how frustrating it must have been to wait for your drink orders and your main course, and we apologize for the oversight. We're also sorry to hear about the mix-up with your wife's salad. We value your feedback and would like to make it up to you. I'll reply in separate post regarding recovery to make things better. Sincerely, Lee
