Overview

Located behind the iconic ANZ banking chamber on the corner of Queen and Collins, Reine & La Rue at The Cathedral Room is NOMAD Group's latest addition to the Melbourne dining scene. Housed in the original stock exchange of Melbourne, this heritage-listed space has been transformed into an elegant restaurant and cocktail bar. Experience Reine & La Rue's take on French fare, with small bites and entrées, to wood-fired meats, and the raw seafood bar with freshly shucked oysters to order. The 10-meter-long bar is the place to sit to enjoy the history and theater of the room with a classic cocktail in hand while perusing the extensive wine list showcasing wines from around the world. For a different experience, come by and enjoy the little 8-seater wine bar La Rue, located off the external courtyard within the Queen and Collins development.
