The Ruby Slipper Cafe, American brunch restaurant in Mid-City, New Orleans, United States
The Ruby Slipper Cafe is a breakfast and lunch restaurant in Mid-City specializing in handmade biscuits and egg dishes served throughout the day. The kitchen prepares these items fresh with different flavor combinations and accompaniments.

The place blends local ingredients and cooking methods rooted in Louisiana tradition. Visitors taste flavors that connect to the region's creole food heritage with every meal.
The restaurant accepts credit cards and offers moderate prices for its portions. Seating fills up quickly during breakfast hours, so arriving early or expecting a wait is practical.
The kitchen produces more than 40,000 handmade biscuits each week, each served with their signature house-made butter sauce. This volume reflects both the place's popularity and the craftsmanship put into each biscuit.
