    Jonathan Gold is the Pulitzer Prize-winning food writer for the Los Angeles Times. This week he reviews Republique, chef Walter Manzke’s bistro in the former Campanile space. Jonathan says the french fries will “knock you backwards.”

    Jonathan recommends tempura green beans, “chips and dip,” Alsatian tart with bacon, bread with pan drippings, English pea agnolotti, steak and fries, Harry’s Berries with mascarpone sabayon and sorbet.

    Republique

    624 S La Brea Ave

    Los Angeles
