The Food Republic Cafe

Food, service and atmosphere always very consistent here. It is lovely sitting outside on a Summer's day.

Fab coffee and food and very dog friendly, it is also so useful to be able to book a table outside to avoid disappointment!!

Overall nice place for lunch. Some meals seemed a little small for the price point. Suggestion: Bathrooms need a bit of a revamp with layout. There is an accessible toilet available, but is not practical for those who require access with some space (or wheelchair friendly).

Good place to catch up with friends as it’s central and the food was delish. Would definitely head back

Great lunch and ambience……really enjoyed it……thanks to John and the staff…..

All seasons menu with plenty to choose from. Great service and coffee too

Everything so lovely !.. fresh & tasty food welcoming friendly staff relaxing atmosphere & we took home the most amazing & delicious cakes we have ever eaten , the delightful ‘choc orange mousse’ cake with a daisy on top & a slice of the incredible, sweetly subtle orange traditional Greek ‘Portokalopita’ Looking forward to our next visit 🥰

We enjoyed our visit. It was very busy over the lunch times with two birthday party groups in but the noise wasn't too bad and we were able to hold a conversation even though one group was right near us. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The three staff members who attended to our table were delightful and did a great job. Thanks! Merril

Great cafe. Friendly attentive service and good food. Newspapers available which is an excellent touch. Would certainly recommend 😊

The cafe has Friendly staffs and timely service for food & drinks!

Great food options for me, as a vegan. My husband's go-to dish is the seafood pasta and it was excellent, as usual. A really great spot for a meal.

Good food - great selection Great service and friendly staffs Easy parking

Easy to book and always busy because of great food and service.

We love the venue and were very pleased with the service and the meals.

Food was excellent. Staff were excellent seating and decor excellent. A great place to go for a Sunday lunch and catch up h up with family and friends. Just perfect. A bonus was that we could all chat together, and no need to yell to be heard. Try relaxing lunch.

I ordered mussels for lunch, that was delicious and big meal. Wonderful! Service was good as the staff and refill our water to make sure we didn’t run out.

As usual the service, food & environment were excellent! Thank you!
