The Food Republic Cafe

Great menu choices, delicious food, and prompt service. Lovely setting for indoor or outdoor dining, with plenty of free parking close by. Will definitely return and highly recommend.

Great food and service. The Buddah bowl was delicious and very generous serve.

The plate presentation and taste is good. However was just upset with the kids fish and chips ordered as it tasted uncooked. But the staff was nice they did not charge for that dish. Good job.

Generally, it is Ok in services. But it’s way too crowded.

Perfect place to enjoy a warm breakfast omelette and eggs Benedict as the weather begins to cool in Melbourne

Always enjoy dining at the Food Republic. Great food and great service and prices are reasonable

We sat outside. The staff are always delightful the coffee is just the best you can get. We travel 20 minutes to have coffee, always friendly. The food is always exceptional. Lots of smiles and lots of laughter from the staff.

Always love to dine in this place. Good food and coffee, also great service.

Great menu and quality of food. Good options and bigger portions. We will be returning soon. Only downside was that we were inside in a back corner which became very warm with little or no air.

My friend and I mentioned that we only wanted a small version of the Fish & Chips luncheon. At our waitress suggestion, we shared one beautiful, large serve of the best Fish & Chips with such a different but very fresh salad. It was like serving a platter of food onto our plates. Highly recommend.

It was nice, wait was a bit long and the restaurant was very busy so was very loud but otherwise nice

Great food and service was good thank you Kaye Hutton

Personalised service, prompt and courteous. Shared plates .. no problem at last ! Appreciate the ability to choose inside or outside… lawn or veranda. Meals are huge !!!!! Coffee .. good barista yummy! Thanks to all

Yummy food . Prompt service. I had the panne meatballs which were delicious but could have been a little hotter. My friend had the coleslaw and Japanese pancake. Always a winner . Coffee was hot and the wine welcoming. No wonder I am a regular customer. AND the Willingly split the bill . Thank you Joy

The Food Republic never fails. Friendly, attentive and prompt service and great coffee! I drink long black and there is no disguising poorly maintained coffee machines. The coffee here is always top notch - well done!

Booking was easy online and we enjoyed brunch at a quiet table outside under the umbrellas. The service was friendly and prompt, meals came very quickly after ordering. There was a good range of drinks and food.

Great food and the staff were very helpful and accommodating . We asked to move seats and they helped without any fuss . Thankyou

Conveniently located for breakfast and lunch. Consistently good food and service.

We enjoyed great food and good service. We would come back again.

Very nice food, with excellent service by efficient. friendly staff.

We ordered seafood linguine, lasagna and a couple of other plates. They were all very good: fresh and tasty. Also the cafe is well staffed, providing attentative service.

Wonderful,polite and friendly service which was prompt. The food was delicious. We enjoyed our experience.

With the cooler weather approaching, autumn is a great time to enjoy Food Republic's cosy atmosphere or sit in the sunshine out front by the grass. Top food, coffee and service!

Consistently good food and great coffee to be had at Food Republic. Lovely staff too!

We had the veggie brekkie and the Food Republic (big brekkie) - both delicious! Highly recommended!!

Always a good idea to book as this venue is popular and can fill up early

Food Republic Blackburn serves delicious food and great coffee year-round

Fantastic food as always! Now that's what I call brunch!

Regular clients, usual table (24), usual order, enjoyed as usual. A negative on this occasion was being obliged to hear loud conversation at table 23, two very vociferous ladies aged 20's and 50's. Noted you have specific question about noise, seems our experience is not unusual.

A great cafe with an extensive menu - Thank you guys 😊

Autumn is a great time to visit here and have a warm feed and delicious coffee. Great service too!

This cafe restaurant caters to all tastes across all seasons. A+

Food Republic is one of our all-time favourite restaurants. The menu is broad, the coffee is good and the staff are lovely.

The Food Republic is always reliable for good food & great service. A great spot to catch up with friends in a relaxed atmosphere.

Second time here Great food and service Will definitely go again

Service was amazing, didn't have to wait too long to place our orders and the meals arrived quickly. I ordered the Cheeky Benedict which was great as usual, only problem was that the eggs were just TOO runny almost uncooked and the eggs were very cool. I love my eggs at least warm. But I'll continue to come.

We two enjoyed a meal at an outside table. Service was pleasant without being over attentive. The food was delicious.

Lovely and spacious venue. Friendly staff. Quick service and most importantly, delicious food.

Great venue with good menu options & very friendly staff .. & good value to boot. Will be back .. also dog friendly 👍

Always very good food, great personal service from Daz and the team. This is our favourite family cafe for our regular coffee and food fix. Peter
