Republiq is definitely a place to go for awesome party. But more than fine music, they also have good food to be merry about.
Their menu is brimming with choices, choices, choices. And generally, what came to my plate are delectable!
Hard to choose? But hardly will you ever go wrong.
Appetizers & Munchies: Spinach-Roast Garlic Puffs and Spiced Basil Marinara (Php 175)
This one is my favorite. Biting the crisp crust will bring out an oozing delight. Even without the spiced basil marinara, it's perfect! Thus, I tag this as 'must-try'!
Appetizers & Munchies: Baked Whole Baby Brie in Garlic Thyme Olive Oil and Crostinis (Php 350)
Brie, in itself, is already heaven. When you're served with this cute baby, you'll look for it again. Of course, the crunchy crostinis pair it very well.
Appetizers & Munchies: Gambas and Mushroom Ajillo (Php 350), Chorizo Bilbao Frito (Php 360) and US Beef Salpicao (Php 325) served with Crostinis.
My officemate, of whom these pictures are credited, likes the US Salpicao very much. The gambas are quite spicy although the taste didn't quite much register. As for the chorizo, it's my least favorite although I'm a fan of it when my mom cooks Valenciana. Maybe I found it quite rubbery at that time.
Dips and Crisps: Spinach and Parmesan Cheese Gratin (Php 200) and Spicy Jalapeno Popper Dip (195)
As I don't like spicy, I found a certain love for the spinach and parmesan cheese gratin! I could eat it in itself! A must-try too, for cheese lovers most especially.
Quesadilla love: Beef Short Ribs 'Kalbi' Fresh Cilantro Kimchee and Cheese Mix (Php 250) with Roast Chicken, Fresh Cilantro, Fire Roasted Tomato Salsa and Cheese (Php 250)
I prefer the beef short ribs than the roast chicken quesadilla. I find it tastier. Don't forget to munch it will hot.
Thin and Crispy Pizzettas: Mushrooms, Smoked Bacon, Roasted Onions & Truffle Cheese (Php 320) and two other flavors of almost the same price.
Pizzas are my favorite! But maybe Cafe Republiq isn't the best place for it. For pizza party, Uno Pizzeria is still the best for me.
Sushi Rolls: Electric Eel Roll (Php 390), Salmon Dynamite Roll (Php 330) and Kalifornia Roll (Php 330)
It might be a bit expensive than the others but Electric Eel roll is a discovery! It's crunchy what with the combination of tempura shrimp, unagi, crab salad, and tempura bits! The others are well fine and tasty too. It's quite a hearty snack already.
So next time you happen to visit Republiq, don't just dance and drink, EAT!
