This place is not mind-blowing like some people make it out to be, but the brioche in the French toast was soft and pillowy with crispy edges and the ricotta toast had a nice balance between the cheese and fruit. Highly recommend sharing the French toast and going without the maple syrup because it can be heavy. The fruit on the ricotta toast is seasonal I believe? But the oranges on my toast were kind of odd next to the persimmon texture-wise, albeit providing a very satisfying color palette.

December 2025: Excellent restaurant. Came here for dinner and was very pleased with my meal. Started with the Le Menuier butter 🧈 and bread. Highlight of the meal. Superb butter! Would definitely come back again for this dish! We also had the endive salad, pork belly, NY strip steak 🥩. All three dishes were very tasty 😋. Got the strawberry 🍓 tiramisu for dessert. A delicious finale of a great meal. Service was friendly and attentive. Looking forward to coming back 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.

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.

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.
