Excellent food and service. Coffee is excellent too. Loved it.

Great friendly place to go to for lunch with friends

Good food and atmosphere, really enjoyed catching up with friends at the venue and will visit again.

We took our parent's there on Saturday for the first time to celebrate Father's day. We have driven by on many occasions always noticing the restaurant packed. Now we know why, the food was delicious.

Service was quick and food was great and parking was surprisingly easy.

Amazing staff, amazing food always a great experience at the food republic.

Excellent service, the table wait staff were so helpful, friendly +warm. Couldn't ask for more.

Great food , great service, staff are friendly and have a smile on their face. Thank you again for a wonderful breakfast keep up the good work.

It was a very tasty and the menu options were plentiful! Our group highly recommends this restaurant!

Great coffee & good service plus good variety of food

Visited for brunch with a group of 14 to celebrate a birthday. Delicious food and attentive friendly service.

Relaxed and staff were so helpful. Food was great also.

Really enjoyed the food. Service a bit slow due to the fact that they were packed. Interesting menu. We will be back!

Great venue - try the omelet with Asian slaw and chicken

Food Republic's menu delights all-year round and Autumn is an especially lovely time to visit.

We're never disappointed here, certainly one of Melbourne's best cafes for brunch

Excellent food. Such a large but delicious serve. Service delivery as prompt and attentive. Totally recommend the food republic

Food Republic is my go to place, it has everything I want!

The place was very busy. The service was a little slow which was not unexpected. The waiter was polite and pleasant. The food was tasty and well presented. But the tables were quite close together and the place was very noisy, making coversations difficult and there was no privacy at all. We could hear every word from the diners seated at the tables on our right and left.

Great customer service and food was spot on! Thank you

I enoyed the experience, staff were polite and attentive, thank you

Staff greeted us with a friendly smile and professional throughout.

From being met at the front door to the friendliest staff, quick service and an amazing meal - Japanese omelette, this cafe is spot on. Will definitely be dining here again. Thankyou

I made a last minute booking for lunch at the Food Republic & requested a quiet area to be seated at. I actually introduced two new friends to the restaurant & they were VERY IMPRESSED. My requested seat allocation was honoured & we had the most divine meals. I had the special, which was Lamb Shank risotto… an original recipe that was delectable. My friend ordered the omelette with Asian slaw & was shocked at what she received. She also loved her meal. The service was fast & friendly & there was no rush to get us out. A very enjoyable afternoon. ❤️🥰

We enjoyed our meals as usual and the staff were very friendly and helpful, thank you Jeanette 😊

The staff were very nice and accommodating We were running 40 min late n they nicely kept the table for us. I suppose we were a bit past peak lunch time anyway Service was good. Friendly staff

Consistently good service and meals. A local favourite Cafe, always busy.

They were busy. There for Sunday brunch and the place was chockers and yet the service was great! No long waits to either order or receive our food and we were checked in on a couple of times during brunch to see if we were ok or if there was anything else we would like. This is a well oiled machine. As for the food my eggs benedict was delicious. Will be coming back again.....and again...and again.

Regular customer, preferred table became available and was offered shortly after arrival, food was excellent as always, wait persons young and possibly inexperienced but cheerful, co-operative and obliging.

Great value food and good atmosphere. Online booking is a big plus

Party of 10 everyone loved their meals and the coffee ,great atmosphere and great music

Excellent cafe for our catch up! Food is always delicious and service is always number one!

Had lunch with the family there. All impressed with the food and presentation. Staff lovely as always

I had booked an outside table as the forecast was for sunshine. Before I had to ask, front of house checked if I would prefer to eat indoors due to the wind. Many thanks.

Great service, good atmosphere, lovely food. Will come back again

Always excellent food and service. Thank you. We will be back. !!

Always really friendly and excellent service here. They’re a very customer-focused place, and the coffee is fantastic.

Thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast as the food was delicious, all the staff were welcoming and friendly and this cafe has a great menu.

My mother and I shared a main and a dessert. The food was beautifully presented and the service was impeccable.

Food & service quality is great ! Enjoyed the meal. Parking also convenient.
