The Food Republic located along Blackburn Road, has good and friendly staffs. The ambience is good. It is really a nice and cosy restaurant. We love their food especially the Omelette with chicken and Atlantic Salmon. The staffs know their menu well and gave us good recommendations. More

Cant speak more highly of this venue who catered for 23 of us for lunch today, in an area sort of on our own. Food was yum especially the Vietnamese salad. Staff were very efficient. Thank you for a lovely relaxed lunch experience Yvonne. Highly recommend. More

First time here, really enjoyed it. Friendly service. Choice of outdoor or indoor seating. I had the Vege Brekky, that was reasonable and large portion. Coffee was adequate without the real kick. Overall, would recommended and come again. More

Had brunch with a party of 11 today, such wonderful experience! Have been here before and so happy to see the quality is still great. Food was delicious but the winner for us was the service. Chelsea was attentive, patient and just great!

Good coffee and great service. There are a lot of seats both inside and outside the cafe. I was asked my choice of seating before placing my order. I ordered a latte which promptly arrived. I spent more than an hour and was asked if I was

First time here and while the shopping complex and cafe looking rather old, it has a nice vibe, nice seating outdoor at the front with fake grass. Staff is very friendly and goofy. The music is a bit loud so we sat the furthest away from

I do not recommend going here. The food is nice but honestly nothing special. We made a booking for lunch and were made to wait by the entrance for an hour before being seated. No offer to provide us with drinks, nothing. When asking the

We always drove past the restaurant and wondered how good it must be to be so busy. So we finally booked a table on a Sunday for brunch. I ordered the Cheeky Benedict, the Food Republic and Omelette to share with my partner. Our plates

Good portion sizes of very tasty food and quite an extensive variety of dishes available. This cafe is busy, but somehow retains a cosy atmosphere and our group were still able to hear each other converse, despite the full house and

Darren (Dazza) was great, friendly, and efficient. Food was ok, although a few in the group really enjoyed theirs. The doughnuts, which I believe is their specialty, was pretty standard fare.
