It was okay and the service was average. Our entrees came out at the same time as our mains, which meant they were cold by the time we got to it. The deserts also tasted quite old. The fish special was very good though.

Depending on the time and how many diners there are, it can get a tad loud, but the vibe is upbeat so it's all good. Staff were really accommodating with the size of our group and gave us a giant table out the back. They also brought ALL THE CAKES on big platters so we could cut them up and share to taste everything. Fabulous!

We have gone to Cafe Republic on several occasions and we are happy with the food and service. I ordered a salmon dish and it was cooked perfectly; it was delicious and hearty. We will return to this great restaurant again.

Overall good place. Happy hour is a really good deal; however, service can be a bit sloppy at times. For instance, they seem to have constant new staff on board who wouldn't be familiarised with deals. Coffee and food are average.

Staff were amazing, welcomed my 10 year old daughter and her friends for lunch to celebrate this milestone birthday. Most hospitable and attentive, made a nice fuss of her and looked after us seamlessly. Thank you

Table service is attentive. They let us have the lunch menu early which was great. Ordered the tasting platter and bruschetta. It was lovely but the bruschetta was unusual with pumpkin. It probably wasn’t the nicest one we have eaten but it was ok. Absolutely fab caramel banana dessert.

The restaurant had an entirely different menu listed on their website. The staff knew nothing about it and said it must be outdated as they had seen it and had worked their for 8 months etc. was very frustrating as one of the reasons we chose to go their was after looking at their menu and absolutely none of what we wanted was available.

Fabulous choice of fare and delicious, generous sized serves. Our friends loved it and we appreciated our waiter's dry sense of humour in deciphering my husband's rather pesky food peeves and fetishes!! Not the first time we've been to Café Republic and we'll be back again.

Salad Nicoise contained real salmon pieces, cooked nicely with a crispy skin, salad ingredients and chat potatoes. A delicious meal. Service quite good. Restaurant is always busy and quite noisy.
