La Republika Tapas & Bar

Best Known For

Lemongrass-infused roast lechon pork belly served with garlic rice and sides.

Authentic Filipino-Spanish flavours in modern artistry are on the plate at La Republika Tapas & Bar on Thorn Street in Kangaroo Point. Marrying dishes from the Philippines and Spain, this recently relocated charming dining destination, is operated by a husband-and-wife team and offers the best of both countries' cuisine. Stop by early for a breakfast of shakshuka eggs with chorizo and bread to mop up the sauce; perhaps join friends later for kare kare beef coconut curry, vegetables and rice, or fresh squid stuffed with salsa. Don't go past lechon pork belly for the main with a side of veggie noodles, or opt for a banquet of patatas bravas, arancini, chicken skewers, mussels and pork belly; finishing with lemongrass and ginger pannacotta.
