Republique

Very popular place, quite crowded even on a Monday mid-morning. Loved the pastry, brunch offerings and the coffee. Descent food quality and unique decor. Might try one of their juices next time, saw a few other tables ordered them, all flavors looked fresh and nice! The ordering system is slightly confusing with their instructions by the door, but essentially is to wait in line to enter the front door, meanwhile take a look at their menu online, place all orders with the cashier, they give you a number, find a place to sit inside, they bring food to you.

This place is beautiful, spacious, great atmosphere, and with friendly staff. Now, let’s move on to the better part of my review, their food, pastries, natural juice options and coffee are to die for. Highly recommend this spot, don’t be discouraged by the wait time in line, the only reason there’s a line is because they have an order as you check-in concept, then you go sit where you like. Amazing spot!

I enjoyed the classic breakfast plate with eggs and potatoes, but the shakshuka was a letdown. Unfortunately, modifications aren’t allowed. The pastries were good, not exceptional. Despite the food, the vibes were nice, making it a decent spot for hanging out with friends or LA newcomers. However, the overpriced parking at $13.50 on a Saturday morning was a drawback. Overall, a solid choice with room for improvement. I’d rate it 4/5.

Beautiful place with great bakery items. We tried multiple bakery items and all were soo good. Their coffee is very nice too. But we didn’t like their breakfast much. Waffle wasn’t good, also omelette, breakfast potatoes and salad were ordinary. Definitely recommend this place for ambience and for their bakery items.

My sister recommended me to come and I’m glad I did. The food here is seriously so premium. I love the atmosphere in the cafe. The open kitchen layout is pretty cool. We were looking at all the staff busy prepping all the delicious food. I would recommend to come early if you want to get pastries. We came in right before the kitchen closed (1:45pm) and all the pastries are gone lol. I’ll probably try to come here before 8am next time. We order two dishes and two lattes which costs about $70. It’s pricy but I think it’s well worth it.

Food was delicious and the line moved fast. We were visiting family from Texas and we can’t wait to come back to eat here. Everything was excellent. Service was friendly. One item was never delivered until we got up to check on it. There could be more communication at the front when you get in line outside as to what we do in line and how the order process goes. We were kind of lost an the servers in the bakery were in a hurry to move us through.

The building! The ambiance! The food! The menu is expansive and every choice seems right. Every item was unique and innovative. Most pastries were GONE as expected but we were able to try the Passion fruit lime coconut bar and we are still dreaming about it. If you are looking to only grab pastries it's imperative you go early-they sold out fast I heard! Since I've been living in LA for the last 25 years, it was unacceptably my first time at République but it won't be my last. I can't wait to go back and try their pastries as well as other items fro their menu. Absolutely LOVE République!

Our #1 dinner venue, impressive wine list, delicious food, and friendly services. Tom, our server, was patient and professional, going through in details the sharing style and recommended many dishes. What was greatly appreciated was his consideration of our appetite (ordering too much?) and timing. The sommelier is also professional, knowledgeable, and helpful considering our preferences. Every dish is a creation of dynamic flavours and contrasting texture using fresh, interesting ingredients. Baguette is delicious too (must order). Venue can get noisy. As for parking, street parking can be challenging, valet is easy ($15).

We went here for breakfast because my daughter wanted to give it a try. We got up early so we could walk in when they opened. The variety of pastries was astounding and amazing. We tried four pastries, and they were all quite good. We also ordered breakfast. The food is so good. I would go there again and just have pastries and coffee. You could not go wrong with anything here. There was a line by the time it opened and it stayed that way until we left.

The best French restaurant I've ever been to! The baguette is a must try-- freshly baked with the right amount of crispiness and chewiness. I like how they pair savoury flavours with sweet flavours via fruits like peaches; it makes the dish a lot more interesting and most adventurous for the taste buds. The duck is also very delicious as the skin was crunchy but the meat was tender. The corn ravioli is soft with a burst of corn flavours (I would recommend paying extra for truffles because it really puts the whole dish together). The ambience mimics France: upon entering, it's as if you entered a house. If you ever visit LA, this is a fantastic spot to have lunch or dinner.
