What People Are Saying About Pascal's Manale Restaurant

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, Pascal's still delivers a serviceable version of this butter-rich sauteed (not smoked) dish. About a dozen super-jumbo barbecue shrimp arrive in a plain white bowl and float in…

Does not disappoint
by Nekishaw
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.
- Pros: Great food, great service

Famous but the food's not that great.
by TiaMaria24
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.
- Pros: Cool atmosphere
- Cons: Expensive - food not flavorful

don't waste your time
by jennred
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.
- Pros: bartenders and Thomas the oyster shucker
- Cons: service and owners
