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 Brie cheese appetizer is amazing— would prefer crostini to saltine crackers to accompany the dish. This is a must if you are dining with 2 or more people.

    Wonderful and tasty food. Brunch is great and the mimosas are only $5!! Sammy, the bartender, was very attentive. High recommend giving it a try if you are a Sunday brunch person.

    Rouj never disappoints. Service is invariably friendly and accommodating. Cocktails and wine list are both excellent. The food is some of the tastiest in BR. We had just one more perfect meal!
