At first glance, you might think the name of Rouj Creole is misspelled. Besides “rouj” instead of “roux,” a quick scan of the new restaurant’s menu shows the word “gonbo” where you’d expect to find “gumbo.”But owner Stephen Hightower isn’t a bad speller. He’s just bringing Baton Rouge a taste of Creole cuisine—complete with the authentic Haitian Creole spelling of traditional dishes.

The truth is, you don't become a Louisiana favorite just by putting the word "authentic" on your sign. When you've served Cajun meals as long as we have, you learn the difference between real food and a bland imitation, and our guests know it too. Grilled, fried or on ice-there's time cooked into every dish and time spent on every home cooked recipe, so that every aroma, every bite, every sip and every gathering is memorable. We've spent more than 80 years creating a recipe for something much greater than a place for a lunch break or night out. It's a place to share (or keep the whole plate to yourself), a place where you always have a seat ready at the table and a place where you're always part of the family.

    Fantastic as always! My friend and I had a delicious seafood salad and the eggplant Napoleon which has always been one of my favs. It never disappoints! The Seafood salad with orzo was a first and it too was delicious! Will definitely order it again. Highly recommend!

    As a sales director I travel every week and get to enjoy many restaurants and you need to go to this restaurant if you’re in Baton Rouge! The red fish on asparagus was amazing and the bread pudding was the best dessert I’ve ever eaten. Service was great and the atmosphere is calm and welcoming. Phenomenal restaurant.
