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.
happy times for a last pre q dinner. th anks
We are always happy with the food and service at Cafe Republic. It is one of our favourite restaurants in South Yarra.
It was excellent, we really enjoyed our meal. Friendly service.
Delicious food and very efficient service. Not a fan of the surcharge for using a credit card.
The staff were attentive. The food was nice, especially the calamari which was recommended to us.
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!
Food was great. Coffee was standard, had latte because there was no filtered coffee. Overall it was ok
Reliably good food and service. The menu has something for everyone. The sticky date dessert was especially yummy.
Very good food, value for money, great service, must go place if you like good honest food..
We are always happy at Cafe Republic. The food is delicious and the service is excellent.

Everything was great. The foods and coffee. The arrangement of reservations as well.
Fabulous service and food was delicious, was a great brunch
We regularly go to Cafe Republic and we are always pleased with the service and the food. My steak was cooked perfectly and my husband enjoyed his seafood pasta dish.
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.
The food was great, service staffs were excellent ... our empty plates was promptly cleared, water was consistently filled. Enjoyed the whole experience. Thank you to the team for the hospitality today. Keep it up
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
We enjoyed the delicious food and great service at Cafe Republic. The menu offered a good selection of food and specials to choose from. There is also a variety of wines and other drinks. The ambience was good.
Really great service and tasty food, could not do enough to make our experience a good one THANKS for the effort and we will be back
Great cafe, cozy environment, good food and friendly staff. I love the everyday happy hour and the cocktail of the week. Drinks are fairly price and cocktails are pretty good. Highly recommended.
Really nice breakfast, loved the pumpkin smash, nice big open dining room. The food servings are generous, neither me or my partner were able to finish our meal!
There restaurant had a great vibe - the host was fabulous, and the food was lovely. We stayed for a long time and did not feel pressured to leave.
Lovely bunch of staff, very helpful and the food and drinks were lovely. My family had a great time, will definitely be back. 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.
Great service, great food, generous portion.My favourite cafe bistro. It's been a lot of times we came here and never once feeling disappointed. Will definitely keep coming back.
The staff are too keen to get the order at the start when we were just settling in. Food however, was amazing and ambience top notch.
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.
A very good Happy Hour and great staff. The food is also delicious and provides a great venue to go to following a hard day at work.
Great food, always a good standard, visiting Melbourne this is our regular venue due to the good food. Worth recommending to others, we take our family and friends there too.
Our entrée arrived with our main course so we had to quickly eat the oysters the main course was stone cold and when i complained was given a shrug. We ate it as we were hungry but i will never go back or recommend
Loved the food, but the internal noice was so loud that it was impossible to hear each other, we had a table of 4.. initially sat outside, but it started to rain, so came inside..
Great location for a quick business lunch! Very reasonable priced and good sized portions.
This is the third time that I have visited cafe republic with my family. On each occasion the food, service and hospitality has been excellent. I will definitely return and I would also highly recommend to anyone else who is wishing for an enjoyable dining experience.
Laid back environment with friendly outgoing staff. The food was really good! Cool music in the background that puts you in a good mood, I highly recommend this restaurant.
We thought food and staff just great on all levels. However the noise in the restaurant was nearly unbearable. Sorry, but it was not good.
Good food and coffee. Must say though it was a bit noisy as there were workmen inside installing some wall fixtures using a hammer drill, think they could have done so at a less busy time than a Saturday morning.
Cafe Republic has consistently good coffee and service. The staff are always very friendly and efficient. I have been to the cafe for many different occasions, and never been disappointed.
Relaxed pleasant atmosphere with a wide selection of foods. Friendly staff with an open airy setting. Food was reasonably priced and service was prompt and efficient. Thank you.
Great food and ambience for a great experience. Staff were fantastic! Interstate guests really loved the suggestion of the restaurant and great location without being in an overcrowded area of South Yarra.
