Love Café Republic! There really is something for everyone.
As a vegan, I love their veggie pizzas, risotto, salads and specials! The coffee is on point and the space is beautiful.
Cocktails are next level too. A great place for brunch, lunch, dinner and drinks!
One of our faves in South Yarra. This is such a great spot. Staff are super friendly, they have a fab happy hour and their pizzas are 👌
Cafe Republic took me by surprise. Honestly I haven’t seen it pop up on any social media or any foodies pages, so when my friend suggested it I was a little bit skeptical. However, it was a lovely brunch. Not overly flamboyant and the food was tasty along with very good service.
I ordered the green breakfast bowl, the portion could have been a little bigger for me. The poached eggs were perfect, the pumpkin was sweet and delicious. And the greens were all seasoned really well. As I said feel the portion could be a little bigger or maybe a slice of toast could be added.
The granola was huge! A great portion size. With plenty of fruit which I loved. The fruit was fresh and varied from blueberries to passionfruit. The panacotta had a lovely wobbly and hint of sweet vanilla.
The service was fab, I didn’t want avocado with my bowl and they happily swapped it out for mushrooms. That’s something you don’t really get in Melbourne usually they still charge you so I loved that extra bit of customer care.
A really pleasant surprise. A homely feel. I will visit again. :)
Went here for a client appointment. Had the calamari and arancini balls to start with the beef burger for main. Everything was tasty and cooked perfectly. Only negative was the chips came in a brown paper bag. To me that was a waste of rubbish when they could of just been put on the plate.
The cafe has a nice private dining area which holds atleast 20 people - the ambience was perfect for the occasion. We tried few items on the menu - and would recommend the calamari salad and lamb risotto The steak was average but went well with the salad.
Fantastic sticky date pudding and latte being served here. Cake was moist and full of date flavour without being overpowering. Latte was strong and prepared perfectly. Lovely music playing in the background. Nice lighting and seating areas rounds out the experience.
Tapas and wine on a rainy arvo really hit the spot! The squid was by far the highlight and the sauce was a great match. I’d like to come back for the brekky menu.
Great food, beautiful space, friendly staff and a wonderful menu. I’m hard set to think of anything to fault this place on. The coffees were good, as were the cocktails. Food was all delicious. Not overly expensive either. Definitely pay a visit.
Came in a quiet lunch. We ordered a flat white and we weren’t impressed with that. I got mine a cold press juice which is really tasty and refreshing. I just really enjoy the overall experience and the location is really nice too. Not a solid 4 but I guess the service saved it.
It’s been longtime I wanted to try this one. And well I wasn’t disappointed but I wasn’t amazed neither. Although, I would be happy to give it another go and check if my first impressions were right... the Grilled Salmon looked good but damn...it was such a plain taste; quite average I would say. Their menu was full of tasty interesting dishes though so maybe a second visit would be good. One thing that definitely got me: mango freshly squeezed juice! Youhouu! Not easy to find it these days. Service was good too, and overall was a nice experience.
A lovely experience. The owners been through hard times and I can happily say this place has bounced back and is back on the rise! A lovely lighter roast for your coffee, and a bit of a sweeter matcha if you're not a big fan of the more bitter flavours. Ordered the Porterhouse Sandwich (minus the avocado) - very tender and tasty, would recommend adding a side of Sriracha aioli. Also ordered the Linguini Marinara, a little bit too salty but otherwise cooked well. Always recommend
One of our faves in South Yarra. This is such a great spot. Staff are super friendly, they have a fab happy hour, their food and desserts are delicious. Love, love, love it here!
Already love this place. Open early mornings even if it is Saturday. The best coffee and brekkie ! Now, I want to try all menu items! Also, I want to be here when it’s raining outside.
We went there to have out daily cafe. The place located in a very busy road in this case we prefer the outdoor seating. The seating were great and the staff were helpful and friendly. The drinks was ok little strong. But at least we enjoyed our time setting in a table beside the street.
"Fast, efficient and delectable."
I took a chance with this restaurant as I originally wanted to have Japanese further up the road but they weren't open. It was to my fortune as I ended up enjoying my meal at Cafe Republic. The restaurant itself is spacious and sports bright light timber floors and tables. This light motif is accompanied by large windows which offer great views of Toorak Rd.
I ordered the Satay Chicken and glad I did! The serve of rice provided with the skewered, beautifully marinated chicken was so filling as an entree dish. I finished every bite and passed the complements to the chef. The sweeter satay sauce worker the dish's favour.
I decided to treat myself and order the mango cheesecake and wow was I surprise with the serving. I would recommend this be orders as a share because aside form the massive slice of cheesecake you get, there is also additional cream and a scoop of ice cream provided.
Camille and Ilse were absolutely exceptional with their table service and customer rapport. Had a lovely chat to them as I paid and made sure to tell them how much I enjoyed my time at the café. Make sure to check this place out, you will not be disappointed.
A wonderful place to gather and celebrate with the new federal member for Higgins, Dr Michelle Ananda-Rajah
One of my fav cafes in South Yarra. Excellent location with street seating, yummy breakfast options and rich menu for the rest of the day. They open 7 days a week which is a plus! The staff were friendly and hospitable.
