Ruby Slipper Restaurant Group’s unique take on brunch with sweet pastries and savory Cajun-inspired faire is stepping in style to the city of Metairie.
Located at 4236 Veterans Memorial Blvd, near the Clearview City Center, the new location is perfect for grabbing a seasonal breakfast beignet or spicy bloody mary on the way to work or an afternoon of shopping. The new location marks the brand’s second in the area, ninth in the state, and 23rd nationwide.
Before opening day on Oct. 16, the new Ruby Slipper will preview its menu on Oct. 13 and 14 with private, invitation-only tastings for local influencers and members of the media.
Opening-day events will include a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Metairie Chamber of Commerce and check presentations to local not-for-profit organizations The Second Harvest Food Bank and The Roots of Music. The latter is an organization dedicated to bringing music education, academic support and mentorship to the youth of New Orleans and surrounding areas. Students from The Roots of Music will also be performing some New Orleans-style jazz throughout the festivities.
Guests can visit the Metairie Ruby Slipper on weekdays from 7:00 a.m. until 2 p.m. and weekends until 3 p.m.
Ruby Slipper is still hiring for front- and back-of-house positions at the Metairie location. Candidates interested in learning about career opportunities with competitive wages and other valuable benefits are invited to visit Ruby Slipper’s career page here.
Ruby Slipper is a unique concept specializing in ‘that brunch life,’ with cocktails and mimosas for its famous, all-day “boozy brunch” as well as sweet and savory breakfast and lunch options. Born from the undeniable spirit and soul of New Orleans, it’s a place where the good times roll all day every day.
The original Ruby Slipper Café opened in New Orleans over 14 years ago and has since expanded with Ruby Slipper and Ruby Sunshine locations across Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. To learn more, visit rubybrunch.com.
