In a city the size of Los Angeles, there’s hardly a shortage of ‘game- changing’ restaurant openings. Almost every week, it seems a space ‘re- concepts,’ a chef moves kitchens, or a big new name in the food industry hops off the plane at LAX with a dream (probably no cardigan). And justly, people that get excited about these things get very excited. But living up to those lofty expectations and proving you can stick it out is another thing altogether.
Take a long exhale because at Republique, not only do they match their unfairly high expectations, they actually exceed them. When Republique opened, it replaced one of the most famous restaurant spaces in the city (Campanile). Breathtaking is an extremely gross word to be sure but, walking into Republique, it’s the one that comes to mind. Three separate kitchens spill out into the restaurant’s main dining space, creating the energy and feel of a marketplace in a courtyard in the kind of little village in France that probably has an extremely charming and difficult-to-pronounce name.
And that’s just the start of it.
