LITTLE ROCK – Attorney General Tim Griffin issued the following statement after hosting a press conference to announce the restaurant that will occupy the first floor of the Bob R. Brooks Jr. Justice Building:
“I am excited to announce that nationally acclaimed chef and Master Chef finalist Jennifer Maune will open her first restaurant, Restaurant Fleur, on the first floor of the Bob R. Brooks Jr. Justice Building.
“Chef Maune, a lifelong Arkansan, has trained at some of the most elite culinary institutions in the world, and her concept for this restaurant will be a fantastic addition to the life of downtown Little Rock. I could not imagine a more perfect tenant for our beautiful building.”
Maune added the following statement:
“This moment is the realization of a dream that began over five years ago. It’s the culmination of a lifelong passion for food, a dedication to excellence, and a deep love for Arkansas.”
Renovation of the first floor of the Brooks Building is ongoing, and Restaurant Fleur is scheduled to open in January 2026. Maune described Restaurant Fleur as “a refined French-American lunch and dinner concept offering gastronomic cuisine rooted in classical technique and seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. Guests can expect soulful, elevated cooking that merges French elegance with Southern hospitality and cultural richness.”
