Cooking World

To attract flows of fashionable public, Republic offers visitors dishes from modern American and Asian cuisine, prepared by head-cook Mark Mittlman, who earlier had worked in Beverly Hills Hotel. By the way, the executive-chief of the restaurant is Gaib Morales, legendary Los-Angeles cook and victualer, who has opened such restaurants as Bliss, BOA Steakhouse, Polo Lounge in the same Beverly Hills Hotel and others. He is that very person, to who belongs the idea of creation of “the newest American cuisine». In his concept the American gastronomic modernist style looks as follows: for the last bit - the fried Chilean sea perch with spinach and leek ($34), mini-sandwiches from pork ($12), sashimi from a tuna with ginger, lemon and soya sauce ($18) and a pie from the blue crab with citric confiture ($19).

Among the main dishes - a pork chop with an apple sauce ($34), a ragout from lamb with cheese Maytag and truffles ($36), and also ostrich fillet with mushrooms and rosemary sauce ($36). For a dessert - American classics: cheesecake “New York” ($10), warm nut pie and chocolate ice-cream with crimson sauce ($10). And certainly, the wide choice of stakes: from black angus fillet ($44) to a Colorado lamb ($34). If you don’t like such culinary experiments, stand up and safely go to the exit - directly through an adjacent door you will get into the restaurant of Asian cuisine Prana Cafe, which also belongs to the owner of Republic. Since the appearance of these two restaurants on Melrose Place, nobody left hungry.
