République, located in Miracle Mile, is owned by Chefs Walter and Margarita Manzke. Centered in the heart of Los Angeles, the historic building in which it resides was originally erected in 1929 by Charlie Chaplin, and later transformed into the iconic La Brea Bakery and Campanile Restaurant. République builds on this storied past, offering a gastronomic environment imbued with history and grandeur. The space features a casual bakery, café, and bar in the front with a more formal dining area located in the rear, serving a French-inspired menu created daily by our chefs.
Modern French plates served in a striking space with communal tables, plus a bakery and cocktail bar.

My friend says this is one of her fave foodie spots. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or ew. They were on the Michelin guide and have a bunch of yummy looking pastries. I ended up getting their quiche slice and banana croissant thingy to try. The quiche had a buttery flakey crust with super creamy rich savory eggs and a good amount of spinach. My friend said it’s the best she’s ever had and she wasn’t wrong. The croissant was nice and crispy flakey caramelized and buttery and had a soft gooey sweet yummy bananay middle. This place is kinda pricey but tastes good so it’s lowkey pretty good.
Quiche $8
Banana danish $5

We had an absolutely fantastic brunch here. Is it busy? Yes. Was the line long? Yes. Was the food delicious? Yes!! Don’t be put off by the line. The food here is worth it, and actually the line moves relatively quickly.
For brunch, you order up front, get a number, go find a table, and they bring your food to you. Pastries are boxed when you order them, so you have those right away. They have a great selection, and every one we tried was yummy. Perfectly crisp puff pastry, balanced fillings…yum.
I had the Crocque Madame, which is a hot sandwich with house-cured ham and gruyere cheese – mmmm – all melty and delicious. The waffles are a nice serving, and come with fresh berries. Lovely. Honestly, you cannot go wrong.
The place is noisy and crowded for brunch, but I cannot wait to go back!

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 theirs 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.

Very delicious and fresh. Plates could be a little bit prettier imo. A little bit more shallots would be amazing with the potato pancake dish :’) A little bit pricey but good choice to spoil yourself with a really good brunch.

Tried Republique for the first time!
Two of us had:
arugula rigatoni $44
bucatini cacio e pepe $38
sparkling water $8
rodolphe le meunier butter $15
4 Kumamato $5 ea $20
2 cheeses $20
little gem salad $28
regalist pennsylvania golden chicken $72
remi jobard btl white wine $140
cuyama orchards apple tart $18
health LA 4% $16.04
Knocking off a huge star for the pasta. Big miss. Pasta was overcooked for both and a bit on mushier side. I did let staff know at the tail end of the meal for feedback.
Bread was good! Wasn’t charged for another one (but maybe it is included?) though the second one was on the burnt side.
The chicken though! So good! Haven’t had chicken like that in a long time. Everything else on the menu was good.
Obviously on the pricier side meal, so hopefully the pasta is just a one-off.
Server Bessie was great!
We ended up parking on the street a few blocks down.

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.

I’ve never been more disappointed in a so-called fine dining experience than at République. This restaurant used to be good, which makes the decline even more shocking. My last couple of visits have been downright awful, and that’s exactly why I finally decided to leave this review.
The food was genuinely terrible across the board. The only decent thing on the table was the baguette—and that’s not exactly a compliment. Everything else ranged from bland to outright inedible. Several dishes were undercooked, poorly seasoned, and tasted awful.
The biggest joke? Their so-called “rack of lamb.” Two tiny scraps of meat that wouldn’t satisfy a child, yet somehow they think it’s worth $70 Absolute robbery. To make matters worse, the service was aggressively pushy, constantly trying to upsell more items instead of focusing on the quality of what was already served—which, frankly, was a mess.
For a place with this reputation and these prices, the experience was embarrassing. Overhyped, overpriced, and massively underwhelming. Save your money—there are far better restaurants in LA that actually deliver on flavor and portion size.

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.
