Reine & La Rue | Melbourne’s Most Stunning French Dining Experience ✨

If Parisian grandeur had a lovechild with Melbourne’s historic charm, it’d be Reine & La Rue—a former stock exchange turned jaw-dropping French brasserie. Book the 9pm slot for late-night magic! ✨ The Vibe Architectural Drama: Original stained glass, gilded ceilings, and Art Deco details—every corner is Instagram fuel. Mood Lighting: Sultry and golden, perfect for that "I woke up like this" glow. Spacious & Chic: Even at full capacity, it feels intimate (no shouting over tables here). 🍷 Must-Order 🥩 Steak Frites: The showstopper—juicy, perfectly seared, with truffle-laced fries. 🍷 Red Wine Flight: Their curated French reds are decadent—sip slowly and let the tannins dance. 🎨 Dessert Art: Every plate is a masterpiece (think edible Kandinsky). 📸 Photo Hacks Angle Up: Capture the stained glass ceilings as your backdrop. Table Light Hack: Use your phone screen for subtle fill light against the moody lighting. Outfit Tip: Wear jewel tones—emerald, burgundy—to pop against the gold interiors. 📍 Address: 380 Collins St, Melbourne ⏰ Hours: Dinner until late | 💰 Splurge Level: $$$ (Worth it for the ‘gram + taste!) #MelbourneEats #ParisianVibes #FineDiningGoals #InstaWorthyRestaurants #FrenchCuisine #DateNightMelbourne #EatDrinkGram
