Mon Bijou Review

Review by Kyla Woods

Ralph Waldo Emerson, an American poet, once wrote that the creation of beauty is art – Mon Bijou is a creation of beauty unlike any other. Unrivalled in magnificence, this venue possesses a timelessness that makes it a contemporary masterpiece, surpassing even the greatest of expectations.

Mon Bijou, located in Flinders Lane, translates to mean my jewel - an accurate description of one of Melbourne’s most prestigious bars. Its brilliance is concealed by the diversity of Melbourne’s artistic culture, however an elevator provides the perfect portal to a unique realm.
Positioning itself amongst the stars, Mon Bijou shines radiantly over Melbourne – like a diamond or rare jewel, it encompasses the essence of femininity. A classically clean interior receives patrons without severity, instead the use of light and colours provide a playful atmosphere.

Dusty pink and pewter tones are scattered throughout the décor, complimenting the white leather lounges that are positioned throughout the venue. Mirrored panels line the ceiling, reflecting and refracting all facets of beauty which level 10 has to offer.

The private rooftop balcony, located on level 11, is simplistic in its design. A retractable roof allows patrons to enjoy the splendors of the sky above, whilst also complimenting the radiance of Melbourne’s city skyline.

Known as a champagne bar, Mon Bijou is ideal for corporate functions, engagements and weddings, however these diamond encrusted doors open to a select few every 6 weeks for a Private VIP party known as Je Ne Sais Quoi.

An elegant infusion of enchanting delights and exquisite beauty awaits those who are selected to attend Je Ne Sais Quoi. Guests feast on the French inspired grandiose, from enjoying a bottle of Vosne-Romanèe Domaine Jean Grivot Pinot Noir to a glass of Remy Martin Black Pearl.

Melbourne’s brightest shine with their attendance – a mixture of flawless beauties and opulent gentlemen, they increase to the ambience Mon Bijou already exudes.

The price of beverages is quite expensive, the attire required to attend may involve readjusting your budget, but all in all you will be assured an experience that will render you a chance to schmooze with an aristocratic society beyond the conventional.

Don’t be disheartened if an invitation hasn’t been extended in your direction; chances are if you attend Baroq or Hotel Barkley one may just come your way – providing that you radiate a splendor that shines like a jewel.

Melbourne's jewel, Mon Bijou, is a destination that cannot be overlooked. Like any great masterpiece, it is an experience that will alter your being and leave you in awe.
