"I visited LA for a week and went here 4 times, that’s how good it was!! Republique does dinner well, but their standout is of course breakfast and brunch. Every single pastry of there’s is fresh and innovative and delicious, my favorite being the black sesame pastry. My favorites on the Brunch menu are the cast iron blueberry pancake and the kimchi fried rice, but I’m sure everything on the menu is great. I’m not a fan of yogurt bowls, but my mom who I ate with, who loves yogurt bowls, said the granola was the best she ever had. As well as the food being great, the interior is so beautiful, with its high ceilings and rustic design. It does get very busy here for lunch so I would recommend arriving before it opens, but then the line will move smoothly. Love this place!!"

"It offers a wonderful dining experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is beautiful and lively with a great mix of elegance and comfort that makes the place feel special yet welcoming. The vibes are perfect for breakfast or brunch. The food was outstanding. The waffle was incredibly delicious and full of flavor. The shakshuka was just as impressive, rich and well-seasoned, with perfectly cooked eggs and fresh ingredients. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and satisfying. Overall, République combines great food, excellent service and an amazing atmosphere. It’s a place I would happily return to and confidently recommend to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience."

"République Absolutely loved this place, and it truly lives up to the reputation it has built across Los Angeles as one of the city’s most iconic French cafés. From the moment you walk in, the space feels special, a beautiful blend of historic charm and modern Parisian energy. The atmosphere is warm, buzzing, and full of life, though it can definitely get fairly busy, especially during peak brunch hours. That said, the energy only adds to the experience. The seasonal egg nog was fantastic, rich, balanced, and comforting, clearly made with care and attention to detail. The French toast was the real standout, absolutely outstanding and deserving of all the love it gets online. The inside was unbelievably soft and buttery, while the outside had the most awesome crisp, light crunch, with just the right amount of fluff throughout. It’s one of those dishes you keep thinking about long after the meal is over. The French omelette was also excellent, perfectly cooked, creamy, and delicate, exactly how a classic French omelette should be. Simple, elegant, and deeply satisfying. Overall, République is one of those rare places that manages to deliver on both food and experience. It’s easy to see why it’s consistently recommended by locals and visitors alike. Busy, yes, but absolutely worth it. A place you’ll want to return to, again and again."

"The ultimate LA brunch splurge. ​République never misses. We came for a New Year's brunch and everything was outstanding. ​Highlights: ​The Food: We ordered the brisket burrito, lobster omelette, and the famous brioche French toast. All three were excellent—no misses. ​The Vibe: Great energy, beautiful interior, and the perfect place for a special occasion meal. ​It remains a top-tier brunch destination in the city. Expect a line, but know that the food is worth the wait."

"I left a bit disappointed. I came in with high expectations for the pastries—especially the croissants—but they fell short for me. I’ve been to many bakeries with a wider variety (think pistachio, Nutella, etc.), larger size, and similar pricing. The quality didn’t quite match what I was hoping for, especially considering the cost. That said, the atmosphere is absolutely beautiful. The indoor seating genuinely feels like you're sitting in a European café, which I loved. The coffee was excellent, and the savory dishes were delicious—just keep in mind they are very pricey. For reference, two pastries, two coffees, and two main dishes came out to $115 including tip. Definitely on the higher end. Overall, I’m glad I tried it and it was a nice experience, but I’m not sure I’d return—at least not for the pastries. If you’re looking for a great croissant, this wouldn’t be my first choice right now. But for ambiance and coffee, it’s worth experiencing at least once."
