CASH ONLY - (Walking Distance) Possibly the oldest pizza place in Baton Rouge, it's been running for almost 100 years - so the pizza MUST be good.The Fleur de Lis is a symbol associated with France. "Fleur" means "flower" in French, and "Fleur de lis" roughly translates to "flower of the lily". The fleur de lis (spelled fleur de lys in French) was used in the coat of arms of the royalty of France.

Walking distance!!! (Parking is limited, so you will want to walk.) Walking into Soji feels like being transported to a more cosmopolitan city. The space manages to be hip yet laid-back. Bright neon signs alight the walls throughout; seating around the raw bar provides dinner and a show; "Soji", in ancient Chinese, means a gathering of people. I go for the drunken noodles. Also, the recently opened Lotus Lounge bar inside the restaurant serves up tropical drinks that aren’t readily available at the city’s other watering holes.
