Victoria Park

About the restaurant

Inspired by the diners of the northeast, whose menu had a little bit of everything and was heavily influenced by Greek cuisine—because, let’s face it, the majority were owned by Greek immigrants—the menu’s attractiveness was the diversity in its offerings. From Italian specialties to delicatessen classics, there were no rules or borders regarding types of cuisine, just a variety of options that have left many transplants and generations longing for just a glimpse of what once was.

An eclectic revolving menu of home-style specials, comfort food, fun spins on classics with beer and future spirit pairings, and an extensive wine list make The Food Republic a foodie’s paradise where comfort and a feeling of belonging are our mission.

Warm wood tones, deep, comfortable benches, and an array of worldly and whimsical art welcome you while our oversized tables encourage sharing and enjoying the moment and the company as much as our menu offerings.

We welcome you to The Food Republic.

I will be forever grateful for the most pleasant dining experiences that I have had at this restaurant for a long time. I am so sad to say that my dining there this past Saturday will be my last one since it will be closing in a week. To the Staff, the Chef and the ambience ...A BIG Thank You! You had the perfect combination! I doubt I will find another place to dine before theater that will even come close. Wishing you all nothing but the best in your new endeavors. S. Michael Ereshena
