We celebrated our 13th anniversary at Reine & La Rue and had such a lovely night. The place and ambience were amazing, and the chefโs set menu was really well made from start to finish. Everything was delicious and made the evening feel extra special. Weโd happily come back again.
The food is fantastic, and the atmosphere is just as impressive โ the architecture alone makes the experience feel special and memorable. The Loddon Estate duck is an absolute must-order. I honestly have no idea how they cooked it, but it was superb โ perfectly balanced, rich, and unforgettable. Service was warm and genuinely lovely, with smiles all around, which really elevated our night out. An all-round exceptional dining experience that weโll be thinking about for a long time. Oh! Wine list is crazy good! Canโt skip tho!
Magnificent. Delicious food in a beautiful room, with attentive service and an epic wine list that is both dauntingly impressive and yet surprisingly functional. The Chef's menu was excellent, and good value. Each course was lovely, and there was more than enough. The 600g steak as the main was a stand-out - we were served 3 for our table of 6, each perfectly cooked to order, with a selection of mustards and sauces. Will go back!๐๐๐
My recent dining experience at Reine & La Rue was certainly memorable, though it came with mixed feelings. To start with, the ambience was nothing short of spectacular โ elegant, romantic, and truly grand. The restaurantโs interior design, with its refined dรฉcor and atmospheric lighting, set the perfect stage for a special evening. Itโs the kind of place that feels ideal for a date night or a celebratory dinner, where every detail โ from the table setting to the background music โ enhances the mood of luxury and intimacy. As for the service, it was exceptional. The staff were polite, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. They took the time to explain each dish and offer thoughtful recommendations. One of the male waiters seemed a little unsure when describing the menu, but his effort and professionalism were still very much appreciated. The overall level of service made the experience feel warm and welcoming, even in such a fine-dining setting. Moving on to the food, this was where my personal preferences came into play. It was my first time trying this style of cuisine, and I must admit that the flavours didnโt quite suit my palate. I usually enjoy bold and spicy tastes, so the delicate and rich flavours of dishes like the foie gras felt a bit heavy and overwhelming for me. Itโs not that the food was poorly made โ in fact, it was beautifully presented and clearly of high quality โ but rather that the subtlety of the flavours was simply different from what Iโm used to. In summary, Reine & La Rue is an extraordinary restaurant in terms of atmosphere and service, but the cuisine might not appeal to those who prefer strong, spicy flavours. Still, itโs an experience worth trying at least once for the sheer beauty and elegance of the place.
This is a place for all occasions, especially when you want to celebrate with your love ones. The atmosphere is classy and cozy, full of buzz but not noisy. The food is amazing, we initially thought of ordering from ala carte menu but were attracted to their chefโs and signature sets. The signature set exceeded our expectations, everything from starter, entree, main and dessert were awesome. The staff are very friendly and helpful, they gave us time to through the menu and explained it well. The sommelier is knowledgeable, passionate and recommended some good wine that suit us. Overall a great experience, lovely and memorable dinner.
