A familiar restaurant is bringing its New Orleans brunch vibes to Matthews

A new location of popular brunch restaurant Ruby Sunshine is opening in the Charlotte area, bringing New Orleans-inspired dishes such as Eggs Cochon, Bananas Foster Pain Perdu and even Morning Margaritas to downtown Matthews.

“Matthews is getting a delicious new resident! 101 W. John Street will be the new home of Ruby Sunshine, a beloved brunch spot who also has a location in South End,” Thrift Commercial Real Estate Services posted on Instagram.

Phone and Instagram messages left with Thrift seeking more details on a timeline and other information weren’t immediately returned.

The downtown Matthews spot is near Stumptown Park and close to a mix of other popular restaurants, including Grace O’Malley’s Irish Public House, Mac’s Speed Shop and White Duck Taco Shop.
