About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
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.

    We have visited Pascal’s Manale on every visit to New Orleans over many years and are pleased that it still delivers a great dining experience even after a change in ownership in 2023. The BBQ shrimp is their signature dish but we found the other offerings, such as the wedge salad and several of the non seafood fish dishes to be excellent as well

    I’ve been here many times and have never been disappointed. Great New Orleans restaurant in an uptown neighborhood away from the bustle of downtown. Famous for their BBQ Shrimp, but their Italian and seafood dishes are delicious. If you are coming to NOLA, make this one of your stops. If you can get Eric as a waiter, he will take great care of you.

    The restaurant was highly recommended to us by several friends. It did not disappoint. We will recommend as a neighborhood restaurant off of the Street car route. Our waitress Jeanette was excellent and really made it fun and a memorable experience. A must visit when in NOLA!

    I’ve been to this restaurant once before, 40 years ago and it still met my expectations. For appetizers, my wife had the wedge salad and raved about the blue cheese dressing while I had 6 raw oysters in half shell. For dinner we both had the BBQ shrimp which is what we went there for and it didn’t disappoint. They kept that delicious French bread coming and we finished 2 loaves. After all that we managed to split a bread pudding for dessert. While they were out of the wine we initially ordered, they recommended a different one that was equally as enjoyable.
