Privé is tucked within one of Melbourne’s most storied buildings, the former Melbourne safe deposit building in the historic Gothic Bank precinct.
An extension of Reine & La Rue, Privé brings together heritage and modern indulgence through Bar Privé, a cocktail bar open to the public, and a collection of private dining rooms.
At Bar Privé, cocktails are rooted in the great drinking traditions of Europe, with a particular focus on French fortified wines, aperitifs and brandies. Here, the drinks take centre stage, creating space to explore classic serves, nuanced flavours and exceptional ingredients in greater depth, elevated by thoughtful tableside touches and a bit of theatre. Complementing the drinks is a menu of bar snacks by Reine & La Rue.
At once a standalone destination and an antechamber to Reine’s grand, cathedral-like dining hall, Privé acts as a considered counterpoint, distinct yet connected, a threshold between spaces.
