Louisiana Redclaw

Fortitude Valley

Updated: Mar 21, 2023

LOUISIANA REDCLAW HAS PERMANENTLY CLOSED.

Louisiana Redclaw is bringing finger-licking good American crawfish to the M&A dining precinct in Fortitude Valley.

The restaurant features al fresco dining, and an expansive dining space indoors laden with booths. The relaxed dining space is made for group dining, suited to their platter-style menu.

The menu features a range of delicious seafood sourced from Australia and America. Their platters are the way to go, especially the Red Claw Quartet. Served in a large clam shell pot is Cajun spiced 1lb of mussels, 1lb of clams, one spanner crab, 1lb of QLD prawns, 1lb of red claw and one Maine lobster.

Accompanying the platter comes a range of sides such as their macaroni and cheese.

Or their seasoned grilled corn cobs.

The hot ‘n’ spicy bowl of nuts go down really well with a drink or two.

The drinks menu is also pretty grand, featuring a range of delicious cocktails such as their Salted Caramel Espresso Martini and a Lychee Louisiana.

The Redclaw Lemonade is a signature cocktail of theirs, mixed with Jack Daniels, triple sec, lemonade and grenadine.

Need to know – Free validated parking underneath the restaurant.

Nice to know – You are provided with gloves and bibs to ensure you can get messy without staining your clothing.
