From being met at the front door to the friendliest staff, quick service and an amazing meal - Japanese omelette, this cafe is spot on. Will definitely be dining here again. Thankyou

I made a last minute booking for lunch at the Food Republic & requested a quiet area to be seated at. I actually introduced two new friends to the restaurant & they were VERY IMPRESSED. My requested seat allocation was honoured & we had the most divine meals. I had the special, which was Lamb Shank risotto… an original recipe that was delectable. My friend ordered the omelette with Asian slaw & was shocked at what she received. She also loved her meal. The service was fast & friendly & there was no rush to get us out. A very enjoyable afternoon. ❤️🥰

They were busy. There for Sunday brunch and the place was chockers and yet the service was great! No long waits to either order or receive our food and we were checked in on a couple of times during brunch to see if we were ok or if there was anything else we would like. This is a well oiled machine. As for the food my eggs benedict was delicious. Will be coming back again.....and again...and again.

I had booked an outside table as the forecast was for sunshine. Before I had to ask, front of house checked if I would prefer to eat indoors due to the wind. Many thanks.

A group who visit from Geelong, Bacchus Marsh and Box Hill we all enjoy the Food Republic Experience. A good venue for 6 people, friendly and prompt service and unless it is impossible because of Restuarant busyness, we can sit comfortably and have a catch up. A good experience for our group.

Food came out quickly but I thought the tea wasn’t very nice. Plus the pots are a bit small, barely get a cup out of them

The venue was a midway point to meet up with friends for a casual lunch. There was very little wait time for our meals to be delivered which we all thoroughly enjoyed. It was quite busy but we didn't feel rushed. The service was outstanding.
