Voodoo Bayou: Orlando’s Gothic-Cajun Cornerstone

Tucked into the heart of Restaurant Row on Sand Lake, Voodoo Bayou Orlando is the first Central Florida outpost from True Grit Hospitality (the folks behind Calaveras Cantina in Jupiter and Boca). Born out of a passion for all things Southern—think intricate tiki motifs, botanical murals and over-the-top Gothic flair—this 10,000-sq-ft playground feels more like stepping into a swamp-chic carnival than a restaurant. Whether you’re looking to celebrate a birthday, corporate event, or scouting “Orlando Real Estate” buds for an off-site mixer, Voodoo Bayou’s atmosphere is an instant conversation starter.

Flexible Footprints for Every Affair
Inside, the space breaks into three bespoke zones: the Saint Room (the main dining hall), the Voodoo Bar lounge, and the Altar Room—a stage-ready nook for groups of 20–80 with movable platforms and velvet curtains to dial privacy up or down. Need even more exclusivity? Behind a hidden door lies Rockahula, a speakeasy prototype decked out in loud botanical prints and tikis, perfect for intimate gatherings of 30–50. With on-site AV racks, theatrical lighting and 360° panoramas ready to drop into your invites, this is truly an Orlando Event Space built for both home-grown soirées and corporate pop-ups.

From Gumbo to Grand Buffets
Your guests won’t just talk about the vibe—they’ll rave about the food. Voodoo Bayou’s catering menu swings from New Orleans classics (jambalaya, gumbo, wood-fired oysters) to Southern comfort staples (fried chicken, biscuits, cornbread) and even wood-fired steaks (Cajun rib-eye, filet). Groups under 30 can roam the regular menu, while larger parties choose from tiered food and beverage packages—mix-and-match to fit any budget. Pro tip for fellow Orlando realtors: schedule a tasting hour post-closing so clients taste the magic of Voodoo Bayou firsthand, all while celebrating their big move.
