Conveniently located close to St Catherine street and within walking distance of Crescent, this Republique is one of my favorite joints in the area. The service is always quick, bilingual and polite. Portions are plentiful, well-presented and reasonably priced. I like their beer tap selection as well, particularly the Leffe.
Republique cocktails tend to err on the sweet side, which isn't my taste. But if you dig tropical and/or girly drinks, have one because they are delicious.
If you have the white wine sangria you will like it, but you will contribute significantly to the Cafe Republique profits.
So give it a try and be prepared to return.
