Chef Chris Wadsworth, co-owner and culinary instructor of Triumph Kitchen, tells 225 Dine he is looking to open Goûter Restaurant & Bar at 3897 Government St., in the former location of apparel store Private Stock, which is located next door to Chicory Coffee.
Renovations on the building are underway, and an opening date has not been set yet. The new restaurant will measure about 2,200 square feet, with room for around 60 patrons. Along with indoor seating, and outdoor patio is planned. Goûter will be just blocks away from Modern Meals, which provides healthy, to-go menu options and also houses Triumph Kitchen.
Wadsworth says the time was right for him and his wife, Sommer, to bring a new restaurant to Baton Rouge. However, that doesn’t mean their work with the educational, culinary nonprofit will cease.
“[My wife and I] have been focused on Triumph Kitchen for the last two years, and it’s not going anywhere,” he says, mentioning that the educational venue’s fifth class will begin in May. “We wanted to get a couple of years with Triumph Kitchen under our belt before we got back into the game. We’re ready to get back in the restaurant business and start it rolling.”
