The Food Republic never fails. Friendly, attentive and prompt service and great coffee! I drink long black and there is no disguising poorly maintained coffee machines. The coffee here is always top notch - well done!

Booking was easy online and we enjoyed brunch at a quiet table outside under the umbrellas. The service was friendly and prompt, meals came very quickly after ordering. There was a good range of drinks and food.

With the cooler weather approaching, autumn is a great time to enjoy Food Republic's cosy atmosphere or sit in the sunshine out front by the grass. Top food, coffee and service!

Regular clients, usual table (24), usual order, enjoyed as usual. A negative on this occasion was being obliged to hear loud conversation at table 23, two very vociferous ladies aged 20's and 50's. Noted you have specific question about noise, seems our experience is not unusual.

Service was amazing, didn't have to wait too long to place our orders and the meals arrived quickly. I ordered the Cheeky Benedict which was great as usual, only problem was that the eggs were just TOO runny almost uncooked and the eggs were very cool. I love my eggs at least warm. But I'll continue to come.

Service was friendly and well timed/efficient. The Vietnamese slaw with chicken required more chicken as the slaw was refreshing but needed more variety.

My big burger was hard and dry, but the salad and chips, etc very nice. Everybody at the table really enjoyed their lunch and they were very generous helpings. We would come again and I would just order something else.

Love this place, the coffee is excellent, the service and food to a high standard and they are very welcoming to my dogs. The only gripe is I would like a few vegan options or veggie ones that can be veganised. Highly recommended as a all-weather venue though.

I was very impressed with the care taken to seat my disabled companion so that she was comfortable, her walker was out of the way, no one was bumping into her, and she didn't have to apologise for taking up too much space .... which is what she is usually forced to do.
