Red Shoe Island Bistro

Red Shoe Island Bistro is gay-owned, fabulous, and absolutely worth the damn reservation—trust us, you’ll need one. Tucked just off the chaos of Duval, directly behind Bourbon Street Pub, this cozy spot serves divine dishes in an intimate setting where the service sparkles and the lavender cheesecake might make you cry a little. Come for the food, stay because you’re too blissed out to leave.
