Reine and La Rue was one of the most jaw-dropping restaurant openings of 2023, thanks to its astonishingly beautiful transformation of Melbourne’s hallowed old Stock Exchange building.

There's an option to have a Nomad-designed sweets gift box delivered to the table instead, if that's more your mum's jam.
