About this venue
The Road Less Travelled (lovingly called The RLT by locals) is a fiercely independent, gay-owned cafe-bistro and evening lounge situated on the quieter western coast of the island. Explicitly queer-welcoming and trans-inclusive, it serves as a highly aesthetic sanctuary for artistic souls, weary ferry travelers, and digital nomads.
