About this restaurant

  • Great for brunch
  • Good for business meals
  • Charming
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.

    It was a Mothers Day celebration for my 93 yo Mother and 95 yo Aunt. When the ladies walked in, the Maitre D recognized our reservation request, and escorted them to a very near table. Our waiter, Henry D, continued to make them feel special, patiently answering their questions. We enjoyed the baked brie appetizer and the fried brussel sprouts. Both were served spot on. Each had the redfish special with crab meat & buerre blac sauce. My omelet was very cheesy. Dessert followed with bread pudding & creme brulee. The food was served at the appropriate temperature and seasoned nicely, without being overpowering. Service was excellent and my ladies thoroughly enjoyed their treat! Well done, and an improvement over my last visit to this restaurant. They want to come back for lunch!

    Our food came out kind of cold and lacked flavor, but our server was very nice and knowledgeable. Setting was very nice as well.

    We got there around 4pm so we missed lunch but after asking was told we could request the lunch menu for the sandwich options. After that everything was excellent.
