Housed in a 1929 building Charlie Chaplin built, République has soaring brick arches, a glowing pastry case, and one of the most beautiful dining rooms in the city.
Start at the counter for a kouign-amann and whatever's freshest, then sit down for the famous shakshuka or the fried chicken. The pastries are the reason people line up before it opens.
It's counter-order for breakfast, and the line builds fast on weekends. Arrive near opening and you'll walk right up; come at eleven and you'll wait a while.
It's the breakfast locals actually eat, no line, no reservation, and it might be the best thing you put in your mouth all trip.
