About Republica
You know the scene at Republica in St Kilda even if you haven’t been there; its design and setup is testament to the cool chic Melbourne lifestyle that is all about keeping it fun, fresh and funky. Found in the Sea Baths complex overlooking Port Phillip Bay, this venue ticks all the boxes; charismatic - the ideal place for people watching and serving great food every night of the week. The restaurant menu may include an entree dish like grilled squid, nduja, white bean puree and bullhorn peppers, as well as swordfish ceviche, lime, coriander, coconut, guindillas and pickled garlic. If after heartier options try rich slow cooked beef with pappardelle pasta, orange and salted ricotta, or pick up a slice of scrumptious pizza topped with chipotle marinated tiger prawns, chorizo and zucchini.

INSPIRATION FROM THE KITCHEN
Ever since the oceans became the people's mode of transport, the spice trade has characterised the main routes of commerce throughout the world. Spices were used for food, currency, religion and medicine. It's no surprise spice has a huge influence in the gregarious share plate eating that is prevalent in the sea ports of all the spice routes in Asia, Europe, Africa and the America's. Their menu is designed to be a tribute to this food style, with drinks and music to match. Of course you can have a plate to yourself too. Catering for all tastes, budgets and palates the menu is sure to have something to entice you.
There's plenty plenty more to choose from if you prefer something lighter or even bigger!Chef Matt Dawson's Inspired Seafood Tasting Plate for two is a culinary masterpeice of delicious flavours and textures.
