There is something special about an evening downtown. The skyline begins to glow, the streets become a little quieter, and dinner turns into more than just a meal. It becomes an experience.

Restaurant Week is the perfect excuse to rediscover everything that makes downtown Baton Rouge worth exploring, and few restaurants capture that spirit better than Stroubes. Long known for refined Louisiana cuisine and polished hospitality, Stroubes invites diners to slow down, settle in, and enjoy a thoughtfully curated three course menu that celebrates local ingredients and elevated Southern cooking.

For $55, guests can experience a menu designed for lingering conversations, special occasions, or simply an evening spent appreciating one of downtown's culinary landmarks.

The meal begins with a choice of starters that immediately showcase the restaurant's creativity. The Crispy Pepper Jelly Duck delivers bold Louisiana flavor with sweet pepper jelly glazed duck tenders served alongside sesame slaw, Fresno chilies, crispy wontons, and wasabi aioli. Every bite offers a balance of sweetness, heat, and crunch that makes for an unforgettable opening course.

If seafood is calling your name, the Crab & Shrimp Mornay is comfort at its finest. Rich, creamy, and filled with Gulf seafood, the warm cheese sauce is served with grilled bread that practically demands to be used for the final swipe across the plate.

Guests can also begin with one of two fresh salads. The classic Caesar delivers crisp romaine, parmesan, tomatoes, house made croutons, and creamy dressing, while the signature Stroubes Salad combines spring mix, blue cheese, tomatoes, spiced pecans, pickled okra, and a bacon shallot vinaigrette for a distinctly Southern interpretation of a steakhouse favorite.

The entrée selections continue the celebration.

The Miso Sea Bass is both elegant and approachable. A beautifully glazed filet rests atop saffron rice accented with dried apricots, almonds, pistachios, pomegranate, and seasonal vegetables, creating a dish that is as vibrant as it is satisfying.

For those craving something hearty, the Braised Lamb Shanks showcase slow cooked perfection. Two tender lamb shanks are served over creamy Yukon mashed potatoes and finished with a rich lamb demi that makes every bite feel worthy of a celebration.

Dessert brings the evening to a memorable close.

The White Chocolate Bread Pudding, finished with house made caramel sauce, offers a decadent finale that feels both comforting and indulgent, reminding diners why classic Southern desserts continue to stand the test of time.

Downtown Baton Rouge has always been more than office buildings and government offices. It is home to theaters, museums, hotels, riverfront walks, live music, and restaurants that have helped shape the city's culinary identity. A dinner at Stroubes is the perfect reason to make a full evening of it. Arrive early for a stroll along the Mississippi River, enjoy a cocktail before dinner, then settle in for a meal that showcases the very best of Louisiana hospitality.

Restaurant Week is about celebrating the restaurants that continue investing in our community every single day. During the slower summer months, choosing to dine local has never been more meaningful. Every reservation supports the chefs, servers, bartenders, and hospitality professionals who work tirelessly to keep Baton Rouge's dining scene thriving.

This Restaurant Week, head downtown. Discover an exceptional meal at Stroubes, reconnect with the heart of the city, and remember why some of Baton Rouge's best dining experiences begin just a few blocks from the river.
