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.

The experience has been elevated since the restaurant has been incorporated into the Brennan family of eateries. The menu items are delicious, the service is impeccable, courteous, and very professional, and the ambiance is terrific. The ONLY negative issue is both dining rooms get extremely noisy when it is crowded, making it difficult to participate in conversations at your own table. Aside from the noise, I look forward to dining at Pascal's Manale over and over. It is always delightful there, and the entire staff is amazing!

Started with the chargrilled oysters, we have these a lot at different places. But these are some of the best I have ever had then onto the seafood (crab meat, oysters, and scallops) in a cream sauce over angel hair, which was superb. If you haven’t been you need to go. Authentic Nola/South LA cuisine at its best

This is the second time that we've been here since Brennan's took over the ownership. While the service and ambiance were perfect, I found the food quality to be somewhat decreased. The wedge salad did not have any blue cheese crumbles as it did before; it was simply a creamy blue cheese. My husband enjoyed his turtle soup, the calamari, oysters, and onion rings were overly fried. The calamari was mostly just crunchy with very little texture. In the past we've always gotten their onion rings as an appetizer. This time they were on the side orders. So we ordered them thinking it would be the same. It was not. The former onion rings were thin, light and perfectly cooked. These were thicker, a different breading and overcooked; as were the oysters. The scallops in my pasta dish were large, plump and well cooked but the crab; which is pictured as large lump, was simply scattered crumbles. Our dinner with tip was $135. Not worth it this time.
