The Ruby Slipper Cafe

By Angela Ash  

If you happen to be anything like me, you may constantly crave Breakfast or, its more experienced older cousin, Brunch. While some people can throw some cereal in a bowl and go, when I am traveling, or even on a short weekend getaway, I want real food.  I am talking pancakes, an omelet, breakfast potatoes and, most importantly, biscuits.  There must be biscuits.

I was literally dazzled when I walked into the Ruby Slipper at their Marigny location, with additional delightful eateries in Mid City and Downtown.  To begin, this is one of the cleanest restaurants I have ever been in.  Everything is shiny and beautiul, beckoning pedestrians to come in and smell the delicious goodness that is wafting in from the kitchen. 

This tempting aroma is merely a prelude to the expansive menu, offering traditional choices like omelets, pancakes, and french toast for breakfast.  And the Ruby Slipper just excels with their House Specialties, with fantastic dishes like BBQ Shrimp and Grits, Eggs Blackstone, and Bananas Foster Pain Perdu. 

And don't be fooled because the Ruby Slipper also serves up lunch, complete with favorites like the Croque Marigny, the Slipper Club, or the Cuban. 

And if the delicious food and the wonderful surroundings are not enough, the folks at the Ruby Slipper go the extra mile by supporting the local businesses and caring for the environment.
