Gumbo isn’t a recipe in New Orleans. It’s a birthright.
The scent of dark roux finds you first — then the bowl. First Cook Olanda Alexis grew up in this city and knows what a real gumbo is supposed to taste like.
Alligator sausage, Gulf shrimp, blue crab, green onion, popcorn rice. The Red Fish Grill signature, and a French Quarter staple for as long as locals can remember.

Spoiler: there’s no barbecue in New Orleans BBQ Shrimp.
Executive Chef Eric Straley builds the sauce from hot sauce, Worcestershire, garlic, and a river of butter that pulls it all together. Gulf shrimp go for a swim. The bread shows up to finish the job.
That last bite — bread dragged through the bowl — is the whole point.
Red Fish Grill. Bourbon Street.

Warm Double Chocolate Bread Pudding — a Red Fish Grill original.
Watch First Cook Olanda Alexis build it: Leidenheimer French bread, cut and dried in-house, folded into a rich chocolate custard and baked under a crackling crust of turbinado sugar.
Tableside, dark and white chocolate ganache pour over the top. Brown butter sugared almonds finish it with crunch.
New Orleans bread pudding, doubled down on chocolate. Only on Bourbon Street.

The Doberge isn’t just a cake in New Orleans — it’s a birthday, an anniversary, a Sunday afternoon.
Created in 1933 by Beulah Ledner, the “Doberge Queen of New Orleans,” it took a Hungarian torte and made it ours: lighter, layered, built for the climate. Chef Drew Pope and the Ralph Brennan Bakery team have given it a spring wardrobe — lemon chiffon, strawberry jam, lemon cream, strawberry buttercream. Same soul, new season. Find it at Red Fish Grill.

Watch Kitchen Manager Milton Knapper craft our crispy Louisiana oysters tossed in Crystal hot honey BBQ — finished with crumbled blue cheese.
It’s been a Red Fish Grill classic for years. Only on Bourbon Street 🎺
Hot tip: These are Brennan’s General Manager Christian Pendleton’s favorite!

Redfish hitting the pan the way New Orleans invented it — spiced, blackened, bold.
Executive Chef Eric Straley pulls it off the heat, blankets it in artichoke meunière, lays down grilled asparagus, a squeeze of lemon, a drizzle of truffle.
Watch the technique. Then come get yours.
🐟 Blackened Redfish, artichoke meunière, grilled asparagus, lemon, truffle
