Reine & La Rue is a two-hatted modern French restaurant located within Melbourne's original Stock Exchange building on the corner of Queen and Collins Streets. Since opening in 2023, the venue has become one of the city's most celebrated dining destinations.

Set beneath soaring vaulted ceilings and Gothic Revival architecture, Reine pairs refined French cooking with exceptional Victorian produce, while La Rue offers an intimate wine and cocktail experience centred around one of Australia's most distinctive wine collections. Together, they create a dining experience defined by generosity, excellence and a strong sense of place.
