Our Story…

REYNA, which comes from "queen" in Spanish, was conceived by restaurant veteran Nicki Laborie with the first location opening in 2016 in Toronto. Lead by the belief that people bring back people, the entire concept revolves around bringing people together in a convivial, sexy, warm and welcoming space. Every detail of REYNA is curated to follow the vibe, from the decor, music and lighting to the food and the cocktails, creating an experience that is unique and memorable. As a result, this Mediterranean tapas and cocktail bar soon became a staple in Toronto as two more locations launched in the city.

Laborie then went back to her roots in New York City and at the end of 2022 she opened the doors to our newest REYNA location, thriving at Union Square in Manhattan and marking its stamp on the big city. When you come by, be sure to ask us about Louis.
