    Single pancake

    Nice menu choices. Breakfast items grits eggs. French toast. All kinds of drinks good coffees made Bloody Marys Worth a try. Right off Bourbon Street.

    It was decent - not amazing. It was very cold and noisy in the restaurant. Our server, Walter was kind and attentive. Two of us shared the following for breakfast: - Gulf Shrimp Omelet w/ Grits and Buttermilk Biscuit - Side of Tater Tots - Side of Buttermilk Biscuit The coffee was a bit weak but it was hot. The cream was fresh. The omelet was really good. The tots were cooked crispy - just how we prefer. The buttermilk biscuit was disappointing. It looked great but was tough and chewy. I would return to the Ruby Slipper but I'd eat outside. Maybe have another omelet and the pancakes. The pancakes looked real good. -

    Reserve or get on the waitlist early. The place definitely gets busy. We ended up ordering online and the food still wasn't ready by the time we arrived for pickup. Got the bacon, egg and cheese biscuit and a spicy chicken biscuit. The biscuits are great and pricing is reasonable.

    This is the spot you want to be for a great brunch session. They have various restaurants all over. We ordered the Trifecta, Sweet Heat Chicken and French Toast Bites, and some Irish Coffee. The Trifecta is great since it lets you taste the 3 different specialties of benedicts. The Chicken St. Charles was my favorite of the 3. The Sweet Heat Chicken was great too! It had a nice kick to the sweetness but it was not overpowering. To wash it all down, an order of Irish Coffee, which was quite strong and pretty good as well. This is a nice spot although it can get packed during peak hours. The servers were quick in getting orders and cleaning off the tables. I would recommend this place for anyone that was a good brunch experience.

    A hearty brunch sets me up for the day and this place didn't disappoint! Enjoyed the eggs couchon and a mimosa inside the quaint brunch place. Friendly and attentive staff only made everything better!

    Everything was delicious! Staff was friendly. Would recommend  Biscuits and Gravy, Bananas Foster French Toast, and Southern Breakfast.

    Staff was friendly and service was quick once we were seated. The food was delicious. Would recommend the Biscuits and gravy and Bananas Foster French Toast. If it's a weekend, join the waitlist!

    Glad we stopped by twice during our stay in NOLA. Enjoyed the French toast, salmon avocado toast, Bloody Mary, peach Bellini and the BLT. The shrimp and grits wasn't my favorite but then again I got it to go so it probably would've been better eating it fresh.

    The food here makes my taste buds sing! Ruby Slipper was SO good that my group went twice. My first order was the peacemaker Benedict with the bayou shrimp and chicken. I wished I got just the shrimp as everything was perfect from the shrimp, flavor, and on top of the the BUTTERIEST biscuits ever The second time I ordered the shrimp and grits which was also delicious! It gets busy here especially in the weekends so making a reservation is recommended!

    Food was amazing. Service was okay but not bad. Ambiance was great. Shrimp and grits was quite delightful.

    Visited Ruby Slipper in NOLA July 2025 on a Wednesday so it wasn't as busy. However my partner and I did revisit on the weekend and there was a 15 minute wait. The food wasn't bad at all. We both ordered omelettes. I enjoyed my mimosa and my partner ordered the iced coffee. The iced coffee was his favorite. Would definitely revisit again.

    Solid breakfast spot in the French Quarter. Food and service were great. I was able to make a reservation online, and avoided the walk-in line.

    Couldn't leave New Orleans without getting in a brunch at one of their most popular brunch restaurants! The line was constant while we were there. Fortunately they have a yelp waitlist and take reservations. Hub's banana fosters French toast was AMAZING! I loved my trifecta of bennies! Their Cochon, an apple braised pork, bayou shrimp with fried green tomatoe and their chicken St. Charles were all so good! So glad I didn't have to make a choice! Lol. Had to try their strawberry rainbow crunch beignets lol. The strawberry cheesecake sauce was delish as were the candied bacon! Everything was superb and our server Bradley was super energetic and friendly and had great recs. A lively fun ambiance' and servers had cool shirts! Such a fun place. Will definitely be back next time we're in town.

    Absolutely great that there is an online waitlist. This place is delicious & well worth the wait. Still weird that potatoes do not come with the eggs Benedict

    Food is always delicious. Bloody Mary is a must. We have breakfast/ brunch usually twice when we are visiting.

    There's a lot of hype around cafe du monde for good reason...I actually came to this location twice…read moreduring my 4 day trip in New Orleans because the beignets here are THAT good. While you're here, I'd say that the cafe au lait is also worth trying. I noticed that the lines tend to be longer in the morning but there was little to no wait at night time. Service is mixed--some workers are really friendly while others seem rushed and are a bit harsher. It is a casual spot and you can pretty much grab any open table to be seated. One thing to note is that it is cash only. Overall, I'd highly recommend this location of cafe du monde!

    Anyone who says that Café du Monde is overhyped has not been here! This place was phenomenal!…read more For reference, my only experience with beignets before this was at Disneyland, and everyone told me I had to try Café du Monde. I was a little confused when I first walked up, as there isn't a place to order. You simply sit at an empty table and a server comes to take your order. The beignets were warm, crispy, and covered in powdered sugar. It's hard to explain what they even tasted like because they were just that incredible. I ended up getting them again the next day--I genuinely want to make another trip out here just to have them again. Be aware that it's in a heavily tourist-filled area, but besides that, I loved this spot and will definitely be back the next time I'm in New Orleans!

    Streetcar New…read moreOrleans must be the breakfast/brunch capital of the world - and Streetcar is right there among the best of them. Nothing fancy, but excellent service and outstanding food. I was in New Orleans for the 2026 Jazz and Heritage Festival, so my mornings were my own. I travel alone and don't always look for reservations when planning on a meal in this city. Streetcar Café is a perfect choice for what I was looking for: ample breakfast choices, a full bar, and excellent service by Andres. I ordered two poached eggs ($3.50), a single pancake ($4.50), and hash brown potatoes ($4). Totally reasonable pricing, and excellent meals, topped with the Always Summer (Malibu rum, Triple sec, OJ, Pineapple juice, Grenadine, $13). The place filled up pretty quickly after I arrived at around 10 a.m. Andres did an outstanding job of keeping track of my order, and served up the menu items piping hot. Couldn't finish it all, but it was a best-choice for brunch this morning.

    Not good. Actually, a tourist trap…read more We wanted fresh fried seafood. The fried 'seafood' platter contains farm-raised imported shrimp, farm-raised imported Swai (a foreign garbage-eating pond-raised fish), and farmed oysters for $26. No thanks. Ok. Switching to gumbo. Uh, their 'gumbo' is a thin broth with virtually no solid ingredients besides white rice. A very few minuscule shreds of chicken and maybe a 6-8 tiny cubes of some tasteless sausage for $17. It did come with a nice biscuit. Be aware of what's being served. Stick to the well-known real-deal restaurants. Not everything is what it claims to be. Nothing real about this ripoff. We'll never go back to this tourist trap.

Then still took almost 20 minutes after that to bring me a very underwhelming breakfast. I didn't even take a picture of it I was so annoyed. The whole bill was $40 total for everything we got and we definitely could've spent their $40 somewhere else and had a way better experience. The only thing I like is the ambience, it has all old-school 90s merchandise and video games which entertained my son while we had to wait that long. Cute concept but the food and service and wait time needs to definitely improve. Good location for tourists. Will not return.

Though pop-up showers were still lingering, my husband and I decided to take a gamble on courtyard dining--and I am so glad we did! Sheltered under the green umbrellas surrounded by historic brick walls, lush greenery, and rain-kissed citrus trees, the atmosphere was incredibly romantic and peaceful. The courtyard's intimate layout even brought a bit of extra magic to our evening. We sat near another wonderful couple (and their adorable daughter) and became fast friends, sharing laughs and conversation throughout the night. What truly anchored the experience, though, was the incredible service. The staff was remarkably personable, helpful, and welcoming. The dinner itself was excellent from start to finish, showcasing immense culinary skill across every dish. We started with the delicious brussels sprouts and a uniquely seasoned spring/summer gumbo that was unlike any version we've had before (oh, what I would give for the recipe). As for the entrées, the shrimp and grits were phenomenal, and the blackened catfish sandwich with a fresh salad was executed flawlessly...and the bread pudding was fantastic, too! It is rare to find an experience where top-tier hospitality, a breathtaking environment, and great food come together so (seemingly) effortlessly. Café Amélie is an absolute must-visit! We will be back.
