Reine & La Rue

Reine & La Rue is a stunning French restaurant and wine bar housed in the heritage-listed “Cathedral Room” of the former Stock Exchange building on Collins Street.

The extensive wine list is a highlight, featuring rare vintages and a strong focus on French and local labels. Combining historical grandeur with modern luxury, Reine & La Rue offers a singular experience that is both timeless and contemporary, cementing its status as one of Melbourne’s most beautiful and prestigious dining destinations.
