About this business

Pascal's Manale Restaurant has been famous for its original barbecue shrimp since 1913. If you go, do not expect much decor but the food is so good, you will hardly notice. The establishment's popularity results in a noisy gathering most every night. You do not have to worry though—this is a friendly crowd with social graces. Menu selections include fine seafood, delicious steak, and Italian specialties. It is open in the evenings too, Monday to Saturday at 5p.

Pascal was recommended from several friends. We had very poor service by our waiter and the food did not live up to the recommendations. After we told friend of our experience, they recommended to wrote to Pascals. I sent an email with no response. I sent another email and was thanked for my reservations. I would not recommend going to Pascals until they improve to the higher standard they once had. Very disappointed.

Does not disappoint – Amazing barbecued shrimp, oysters and shrimp pasta. I have never ordered anything I didn't like at this restaurant. It is a Louisiana legend for good reason. The servers are friendly, and the food is authentic Louisiana cuisine.

Pascal's Manale Restaurant is disappointment We were so disappointed. We had just seen this restaurant on The Best I Ever Ate on Food Network before our trip. It was awful. We both had the BBQ Shrimp of course. The shrimp was mushy and three of them had that opaque color around the edges indicating they were not fully cook. It was really bland, not at all spicy. Definitely not worth the price. Also, watch your bill. An extra 5 dollars was added to the tip. Sadly I cannot find the receipt so I can't nail them on it. I would n... read more

Famous but the food's not that great. – I should have ordered the famous barbecue shrimp, so I won't be too hard on Pascal Manale. But the fish and pasta I ordered were terribly bland.

don't waste your time – I live in New Orleans and I won't waste my time at this restaurant. There is nothing special about the food and the owners blatent disregard for the guest is the only thing that sets them apart. It's New Orleans - there's no shortage of places to get oysters and BBQ shrimp (think Mr. B's) and there's also no shortage of great restaurants that know how to treat their customers. The service is truly horrible and the owners and managers could care less. Mark this off your list.

BBQ shrimp Pascal Manale's is known for their BBQ shrimp. The sauce is delicious. The only downside is you have to peel it all yourself. The oyster bar always has fresh oysters and sauces you can try as well. I've also had the spaghetti here, and everything tastes wonderful.

It's all about the oysters, baby! – Louisiana oysters are the name of the game, and the man you want to see is Thomas. Bob and Mark, the owners, know where to get the best, tastiest, freshest oysters around and Thomas serves them up with giant slice of larger-than-life, southern hospitality at it's finest. He's got the best stories and he takes care of you, so remember to take care of him. Weather you like 'em small or big he'll hook you up. They also grill these tasty shelled morsels a-la bienville or rockafella'. Not to me... read more

Historic birthplace of classic barbecue shrimp serves well-worn Italian steakhouse staples in a nostalgic, neighborhood-joint setting. – The Scene From decor to menu, Pascal's nostalgically trades on its past. Steady tourist traffic and neighborhood regulars keep the aging dining rooms (formal, casual and private) bustling. For old-schoolers, the restaurant's worn vibe proves comforting; to newcomers, it feels like a borrowed family tradition. The Food Universally considered the birthplace of New Orleans barbecue shrimp, Pas... read more
