République Café Bakery & République Restaurant

Oh my gosh, what a horrendous experience! Not to mention that this was our valentines brunch! I was looking forward to coming here for MONTHS! The food here is plain, and your money would be spent better at your local in & out. If you want good French food, go to Petit Trois— that’s what we ended up doing right after we left. I ordered the steak frites here & the burger here. Both were dry & BLAND!!! I asked them to remake the fries which were barely cooked & they did so without an issue which was nice of them. The steak was over cooked both times they served it to me. The little service that you get was good. You order first and then bring a number to your table. I didn’t even ask to speak to a manager or order something else because I was disgusted by the food at that point. Not worth the price & the line. Over hyped!

This place has been on my LA Wishlist for a while & was not disappointed when I came here for brunch!! Reservations can't be made in advance when it's early in the day, but the line really moves quick & same with service!!

Loved the environment of the restaurant, staff was super friendly & attentive, and would love to come back sometime for dinner!! 😋

From the quality of the ingredients to the final product, to the atmosphere and efficient service, this is no brainer the best brunch/lunch experience in LA!

Ordered: BLT Benedict, Regular Breakfast, Breakfast Burritos

From eggs to avocados to the sauces, everything was so fresh and tasty! Definitely will come back again!

This place is super hip and fly. In the morning, it's an awesome brunch place and in the evening its a stunningly tasty restaurant and bar. The bartenders are all really cool and their drinks truly unique. This is a place to visit, when looking for something trendy and young. Their sweets are heavenly :)

The food is high quality and is thoughtfully catered, but the sole meuniere is definitely not the best I have had. The flesh is a bit flavorless and the natural umami flavor of the fish were not brought out. For the price of the fish, I was expecting it to be perfectly seasoned. But this dish is kind of disappointing and I will not want to order again.

The wood fired Brussels sprouts is very delicious, but not something I would miss.

This was a lovely brunch with so many options, I liked that when you go in the first thing you see it’s the big variety of pastries, such a hard choice, then you make your order and go through the incredible architecture to find a nice place to eat, the French toast was my favorite by far, I would recommend to arrive early because it tends to get crowded, for breakfast time it’s not necessary to make a reservation

Impressed by the architecture but the food is mediocre in my opinion. This spot is way overrated and did not live up to the hype. The restaurant is very crowded at weekends and has a long line outside the storefront. Also because of the long line, I felt stressed that I had to order my meal asap without much thinking once I got inside. Very likely have to get valet parking ($10) and it's hard to find street parking.

The dine-in experience:

You wait in line, and you order at the counter right way. If you order a menu item, they will bring it to your table. Water is included for free at your table.

Tips:
I recommend the upstairs seating.
Come early, sometimes finding seating is hard.

Great late breakfast. Frittata was full of vegetables and topped with arugula sala. Breakfast bread was outstanding with butter and jam. Oj was freshly squeezed. Fingerling roasted potatoes were perfect.

Everything about this restaurant is a delightful, from their pastries to their full dinner menu. Wish I could give it 10 stars. Love how creative each item is crafted. The staff is incredible as well! My partner is left handed and without ever mentioning it, our server adjusted his plating to accommodate! Love love this place. I’ll be dreaming about this place for probably ever.
