Welcome to The Black Swan Herein lies a love story that begins with a 1930s Art Deco space, once home to the Kwangtung Provincial Bank. This is a story about people. About chefs, designers, bartenders, dreamers and doers coming together to bring to life an iconic grand cafe and bar that is simply timeless. The Black Swan is a labour of love, and a testament to our passion for good food, good libations and good times. Here’s to the rose coloured glasses of life.
