alling the romantics, the dreamers, the lovers of luxury — welcome to Bar La Vie! Like a short stint in whimsical Paris, this intimate Champagne bar awaits to take you out of the ordinary and on a romantic rendezvous. It’s time to channel your inner Emily In Paris… With indoor and outdoor dining, Bar La Vie is perfectly positioned in one of the East End’s historic State Heritage buildings. The understated elegance makes it supersexy for date nights and chic for a catch-up with your besties, after-work drinks or a special occasion.

Bon appétit
The intricate French-inspired menu is designed to share with your favourite companions and is bursting with charcuterie boards, local and international cheeses, house pickles, olives, paella, and delectable delicacies like caviar, mussels, smoked salmon, anchovy fillets and fois gras. And if you’re a sucker for a bowl of crispy potatoes with a tipple, you have to try the unique camembert or porcini mushroom chips… délicieuse!
POP A LITTLE EFFERVESCENCE IN YOUR DAY.
Our romantic little hearts started racing at the sight of their extensive offering of Vintage and Non-Vintage Champagne as well as sparkling, red, white and rosé from across the globe, not to mention the impressive line-up of beer and spirits.
Sweet-tooths are seriously taken care of with mouth-watering crème brûlée or baked camembert drizzled with honey and sprinkled with nuts. And a lazy weekend breakfast is a little more lovely, with Bar La Vie’s Parisian style brunch including fresh pastries, baguettes and croissants with French tea or mimosas.

Bar La Vie is a stunning venue for a special occasion, with a range of deluxe experiences on offer for an intimate engagement, wedding reception, work celebration… they’ve even hosted an opera launch. Peruse their range of function options — we love the sound of the premium package, which includes a Champagne tower so you can really celebrate in style! Pop a little effervescence in your day or dim the lights on a romantic night — it’s time to indulge at Bar La Vie. @bar_la_vie
