I was just tasked by the wife to find a place in NOLA for us to go to brunch with my sister and her husband tomorrow. We will have our 10 month old with us, sister lives in Metairie. Her suggestion was to go to the Ruby Slipper but they don't take reservations, which apparently we were hoping to have.

Suggestions?

Don't take the 10 month old would be the first suggestion. Then go to Atchafalaya. They have plenty of openings.

You could take a 10 month old, but there will be music there.

If you must take the baby...I can't think of anywhere nice offhand that I would take a baby for brunch. Ruby Slipper and the like is your better bet.

Maybe a place like Toast, Tartine, or Biscuits and Buns on Banks. I don't think any of those take ressies (maybe biscuits does), but you can get in easier than Ruby.

Either Satsuma location is great. No reservations.

Also, I just checked Opentable and Cafe Amelie has openings. You can sit outside, so if weather permits, you can eat out there in the beautiful courtyard with a baby. I guess.

All of those are great suggestions. Wakin Bakin has awesome breakfast too.

I am not a fan at all. Food was ok, but the kitchen takes FOREVER and they are extremely loud.

You could also do Pizza Domenica.

Go to Elizabeth's about 10:30. It's kid friendly and you won't need a reservation on account of the wooks and hipsters don't roust themselves out of bed and don their fedoras till 11-11:30ish. Double fist bloodies and draft Hopitoulas and don't forget the praline bacon.

Thanks for the suggestions. No way out of taking the baby unfortunately, but he does okay in public.

The Columns Hotel has a surprisingly good brunch and a huge front patio.

Please god don't take a child to this dump. I love the burritos there, cool place .. but not a spot for a child. It's tiny and dingy and full of loud hipsters.

I like the Elizabeth's or Tartine suggestion. Satsuma could work to but prepare to overpay for health food.

agree w/ those who recommended satsuma and Amelie. I recently did Amelie for dinner but the brunch is supposedly great.

The Ruby Slipper in the Marigny may be less crowded

Katie's in Mid-city. Not sure if they take reservations, but well worth the wait IMO.
