Dame.
Inspired by the striking architecture of Melbourne’s Collins Place, designed by I.M. Pei and opened in 1981, the narrative of Dame is centered around a fictitious ‘80s muse; a powerful, well-connected, and rather fabulous woman.
Dramatic sheer curtains theatrically distinguish Dame from the adjoining lobby as a bespoke portrait of Dame herself overlooks the blush-toned marble bar.
Dame is the new meeting place of the 'Paris-end' of town, introducing new people to the iconic space, and bringing a fresh level of sophistication to the city that lives for its cafes.
An all-day dining cafe that the Collins Place entry waited more than forty years for, it's as if Dame was always intended to be there.
The talk of the town
“As Regal as Its Name Suggests, Dame Is Melbourne’s Most Beautiful New Cafe.”
