At Roux St. Cafe, we believe that great food brings people together, and nothing does that better than the bold, soulful flavors of Cajun/Creole cuisine. Our family-owned restaurant, run by Kellie and Brian Washington, was born out of a deep love for Cajun food and a desire to share those unforgettable flavors with our community.
Though neither of us grew up in Louisiana, Brian’s time studying in Lafayette sparked a passion for Cajun cooking that’s only grown stronger. We've spent years perfecting the dishes we fell in love with, from spicy gumbo to cheesy étouffée, and now we're excited to bring those tastes to Charlottesville.
Every meal we serve at Roux St. Cafe is made with love and authenticity. Whether you're digging into jambalaya, shrimp and grits, or a plate of beignets, we want you to feel like you're part of our extended family. We're proud to be a part of this community, sharing the rich, vibrant flavors that make Cajun food so special.
Come on in, grab a seat, and let us treat you to the best Cajun food outside of Louisiana.
