Host at Juban's

Building on the culinary successes of SoLou Restaurant, Patio, & Bar, Portobello’s Grill in Bocage and Jones Creek, and P-Beau’s in Denham Springs, the Team from Making Raving Fans Hospitality Group is reopening The ICONIC Fine Dining Restaurant for the past 40 years in Baton Rouge - Juban’s. Chef Chris Motto, best known for his success in Gordon Ramsey’s Hell’s Kitchen, will be leading the Culinary Team at Juban’s. Juban’s will feature the truest expression of the world's best meats and seafood paired alongside an award-winning wine list and featuring impeccable service. Chef Peter Sclafani, Kiva Guidroz, and Michael Boudreaux will bring their combined experience and leadership to creating the kind of fine dining restaurant that Baton Rouge deserves. The restaurant has been redesigned by the MRF team, X-Design, and DNA Workshop, the same group who brought you last year’s most exciting restaurant, SoLou Restaurant, Patio, & Bar. The new Juban’s will feature 2 exciting bars, 9 private dining rooms, a speakeasy, a wine cellar, and gorgeous new outdoor patio. If you want to help people celebrate the best times of their lives and make lasting memories, then we look forward to having you join our team.
