The Food Republic Cafe

The food is beautiful really lovely::: only downside is the limited amount of gluten free ! The risotto is amazing just wish whey had gf pasta so I could have the seafood pasta and the Thai salad could easily be gf ! Such a shame have been 1/2 doz times and end up with the risotto as don’t like bread dishes or gf bread !😂anyway lovely food always packed so book and be patient

So good I dug in without taking photos! I love bruschetta so much if it’s on the menu you bet your bottom dollar I’m ordering it. Now usually, this leaves me disappointed and thinking I could do a better job at home - Well, not this time! I had the pesto bruschetta special with gluten free bread. It was the BEST bruschetta I have ever had! Medley of tomatoes, seasoned to perfection, so garlicky and pesto-y and balanced that I ate all the rocket. The toast was soaked in the oils of the dish but still crisp. The mozzarella was so creamy and lots spread throughout the meal. Genuinely cannot speak highly enough of this dish considering the many, many let downs I’ve had else where. One of the best. My partner had the open omelette special. Again, good portion, soft, pillowy and creamy egg. We ordered coffee and it came out so quickly I didn’t have time to finish my sentence! It was so good we ordered a second. Plus an orange juice to share. Atmosphere is lovely, chill and family friendly. Indoor and outdoor seating with shade. Great ambiance to chat with friends and family without any blasting music. Tables are nice and big so you’re not bunched up and sitting next to a stranger. Chairs are comfy, I could easily spend a lot of time and money here simply because of how comfy and inviting the atmosphere is, I’m not rushing to get out the door. Staff are quick to respond, friendly and polite. You get the vibe that it’s the local place that everyone loves with their regular customers and kids talking and catching up with the staff. It really was such a great find and I will be coming back for sure! Thank you.
