• Modern Australian • Melbourne CBD

Vue de monde is a testament to the belief that dining can be a wondrous and unforgettable experience. The ever-changing chef’s menu pays homage to classical fine dining in a modern context by exploring the beauty of native Australian ingredients. While in the past the menu looked to Europe for inspiration, Executive Chef Hugh Allen continues to celebrate the unparalleled quality of home-grown produce with thoughtfully considered dishes committed to seasonality and locality. Vue de monde has been synonymous with Melbourne dining for almost 20 years, continuing to present an exciting and dynamic experience with a progression of flavours and sense of curiosity. The whimsical spirit at the heart of the Vue de monde menu has not been lost throughout the years, with the lighter-handed and more natural approach to cooking being no less infused with theatre.

We had a booking in the atrium which felt spacious. Beautiful outdoor area with little nooks with tables. Food was good with the Reuben sandwich and spicy margarita winning at our table. Don’t bother with the vegetarian fritters, which were flavorless. Overall, great ambience, friendly service and great food. Would highly recommend.

This was an exceptional experience. Everything had been thought out to the minute detail. We have been to many 3* Michelin restaurants in Europe and this restaurant equates to the best. The food was wonderful , the service second to none. The culinary theatre was spectacular. You felt the team worked like a well oiled machine. Everyone pitched in, down to the sommelier also waiting on table. You felt that this was a culinary family who were keen to ensure that every diner had the very best experience. This meal was a celebration of our 50 th wedding anniversary and the team were keen to acknowledge this. There were so many nice touches that there were too many to mention individually. The wine parings were super and the sommelier was helpful, well informed and above all enthusiastic about the wines he had on his list. This is a real gem one that Melbourne and Australia should be really proud of. We can not recommend it more highly.
