We ordered the cheeky Benedict’s and Wagyu Beef balls pasta and both tastes delicious. Coffees are perfect too. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. It was a pleasant experience and we would definitely become their regular customers.

Held a meeting over breakfast. Attendees came from outside the local area. They all loved what they had and said they would like to come back to Food Republic again for a future meeting. It was a hit! Thanks to John and your staff.

An excellent choice in Blackburn for my husband’s birthday lunch. The Food Republic did not disappoint. The only negative - the substantial mains course meant we were unable to eat even a small serving of dessert afterwards. We recommend the Syrian Chicken.
