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.

    Pascal’s Manale is one of those iconic New Orleans restaurants that you must try when you visit. It is a regular spot for locals, which says a lot about the place. The food never disappoints and our server was outstanding.

    The service was very slow and the waiter seemed completely disinterested. Even with a reservation we had to wait 15 minutes for our table. Then no apologies or concessions were offered even though we waited over 20 minutes for our drinks and an hour for our food. Cocktails are mediocre and the food is old school and just ok. We had 2 orders of Oysters Rockefeller and while the first order was quite good, the second was very different - undercooked, not broiled, and not hot. The eggplant Dryades, veal Parmesan and a seafood pasta were good but nothing special. If we ever return, it will ONLY be to go to the bar/oyster counter.

    Almost impossible to get there on parade day. Should have been given notice that the street access would be cut off. The food was very good but cup of gumbo was cold and took a while for our waitress to return so it could be reheated. No lunch menu on the weekend, so could not have grits with my barbecue shrimp.

    Pascal’s has lost a step in the past few years. Food (cooked)quality is not consistent anymore. But oysters this visit were superb.

    The the appetizer was good. Service was a little off. My main course Combination Pan Roast was warm , not hot. My wife’s Filet Mignon was flavorless , she did not eat it all. This is the second time we have been there since Dickie took over and last time it was also poor experience. I thought by now it would have gotten better, it didn’t. I won’t be back for at least a year or so.
