LAVIE 98
Founded on September 8, 1998, LAVIE 98 is one of Chongqing’s most iconic cultural landmarks, a riverside “Urban Culture Salon” located beneath Hongya Cave, overlooking Jiangbei CBD and Chongqing Grand Theatre. Surviving five major floods yet reborn each time stronger, LAVIE 98 stands today as a symbol of resilience and elegance along the Jialing River, a place where Chongqing’s story of modern culture continues to unfold.
Over 27 years, the brand has evolved from a romantic restaurant into a hub that blends art, culture, and social connection, welcoming over 600,000 guests to date. Guided by the philosophy of “Sharing Beauty, Spreading Love,” LAVIE 98 promotes a healthy, refined lifestyle through themed dining experiences, artistic private banquets, and cultural salons across diverse industries from heritage and art to finance.
