The Food Republic Cafe

Great food ,great service friendly people and environment no waiting time

Food was terrific and the service was great. Highly Recommend

A lovely atmosphere. An extensive breakfast menu but not as big a lunch and other times menu. Great food!

Always a treat to eat here. Food is fresh and beautifully presented.

Visited with my daughter for lunch today and sat outside. We've been coming here for years and the level of service and quality of food is always excellent along with the friendly staff. A great lunch place! They also have a delicious assortment of home cooked take home meals. 🙂

Excellent service and great food. It was really busy but the service was friendly and the food was good sized portions and came in a very timely manner

Service was slower than usual- it was Sunday lunch that we visited and the cafe quite full

Friendly service, prompt and well priced. Very pleasant garden ambience.

Staff should ask guests whether they want any drinks to start after they are seated.

We sat on the verandah on Blackburn rd side. Very bad noise reverberation and it wasn’t very full out there.

The only issue I had was that, when I changed the time of my booking, it somehow converted it from an inside to an outside booking. Other than that everything was great, including service & food.

Great brekkie, great service even though it was a busy morning - always wonderful!

Excellent service, amazing food and very generous serves also easy parking

Loved the food and the overall service. The atmosphere was great too.

Great service as usual, great food as usual pleasant environment reasonable prices.

Lovely food, excellent atmosphere and perfect service! Highly recommended experience!

John and the team do an amazing job always. I had smashed avocado with salmon this morning and a soy latte. Both were fabulous. My partner had scrambled eggs and salmon and loved it also. Well done! Steve😊👍

Excellent service and delicious food. Will definitely be going back.

Best Shakshuka I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommended

A very friendly and welcoming restaurant serving consistently good food.

Requested a table by the window when booking, however when we arrived were told that to book tables by windows that booking had to be made earlier. I was then told that if a table became available whilst we were there then we could move if we wished. We were there 2 hours and within that time tables did become available but we were not advised we could move. A little disappointing but did not spoil the morning. Coffee and cakes were good.

the place was welcoming and warm on this wet day, food very good, service friendly and helpful

I and a friend enjoyed a lovely lunch at Food Republic. Between us we had an excellent hearty soup and a Vietnamese slaw salad with perfectly poached chicken, followed by coffees.

Love that I can book a table online and the food and service never disappoint. Great meeting place!

Very friendly staff, good choice of interesting meals and great service. The food is well priced and the service was very quick. When we come to Blackburn your restaurant is the one we come too. We also appreciate that we have always been able to get parking.

Food and service was great! Waitress was also excellent. Fabulous!!

As usual, very efficient and friendly service. Food was up to usuual very good standard.

delicious food, attentive and friendly service. Thank you very much.

Delicious food. Lovely, friendly staff. Did their best to take orders and deliver food quickly but we did go at an extremely busy time so it was a little slower than usual. My experiences at The Food Republic are always excellent.

Nice food, great coffees & chai drinks. Happy with the lunch experience

Always excellent food, well presented from a great menu with consistently pleasant staff.

The lunch menu was very short, not much choice. obviously the breakfast menu hs much more choice (if. you like eggs)

Outside is quieter! Cooler day than thought it would be.

Delicious as ever! We always enjoy dining here with friends

Great food and friendly, welcoming staff. Bookings are always recommended.

We had to ask the next table for two menus due to long wait time. We had to walk to the counter to request our table to be cleared again due to very long wait time. However, food and beverage was on time and was delicious.

Excellent in every way. Noise was from traffic and we sat in outdoor seating so no fault of restaurant.

Great service . Our risotto was very tasty albeit a bit too salty

Brought Mum along while she visited Melbourne and she loved it!

Delicious vege breakfast plate and great coffees here every time

Great food and fast, friendly service make this cafe one of our faves

Highly recommend booking ahead for this nearly-always busy cafe

The food was well presented and tasty though a little pricey. The service was good and the atmosphere was pleasant. The music was a little loud. Otherwise a positive experience

Great service and good food and very convenient to my workplace

Fantastic food for breakfast. The friendliest wait staff ever. Thank you

Food was great and generous serves and the service was excellent. Can’t go wrong at this place.

Friendly and relaxing atmosphere and staffs are very welcome. Foods are sooo.... yummy. Definitely will be back again. Five stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
