About the restaurant

Enjoy the breathtaking waterfront views, sparkling starry night skies, and refreshing breezes of our outdoor balcony, or opt for indoor air-conditioned seating to beat the heat (which can be a must in North Queensland!).

Our restaurant's name, A Touch of Salt, is a play on our family name, Brine. In 2005, we started as a family business, and our family-style approach of offering genuine hospitality and meals designed for conversation has always been the heart of A Touch of Salt. Over the years, we have perfected our restaurant to become one of the best casual fine-dining restaurants in the North.

We take pride in being appreciated by the locals of Townsville as well as travellers from all over Australia.

WOW! Haven't been for 4 years but as soon as we arrived and were shown the "date night" table we were impressed. The staff attention was next level upon greeting and seating. Food was better than I remember. Veal Scallopini, Lamb Meatballs, Risotto just superb. Didn't have time for dessert but the knowledge of the Banoffi Cocktail will have us back. Your maitre de last night (thurs 10th Dec) knows how to make a guest feel special.

First time dining at this well known restaurant I had high expectations after hearing so many good things and it did not disappoint! The service was impeccable, from being greeted by the hostess to our friendly and attentive waitress and the efficient food servers. We had gnocchi fritto, duck pappardelle, the octopus risotto special, salad and semi freddo and millefeuille for dessert. All dishes were presented well (the pappardelle was thoughtfully divided in 2 individual plates as we were sharing) and so fresh and flavoursome. The duck pappardelle was the standout - rich flavours and the pasta was cooked to perfection. Even with 3 courses, we were in and out in 1.5 hours without rushing (very good for a business lunch when you're on the clock! We had noted this on the reservation). To sum up: food 5, service 5, ambience 5, it's a yes from me :) Might check out the Toorak venue next.

Emerge can feature up to 10 steaks of various cuts at anyone time. Although a steakhouse Emerge doesn’t leave anyone behind. It really does have something for everyone. Using mainly proteins, vegetables and local artisan suppliers, the simplicity of the menu is naturally driven towards being gluten free. For this reason, Emerge is a popular location for coeliacs to safely dine. Although we refer to Emerge as using simple ingredients flavour is not lacking!

A jungle-set urban oasis in the heart of the Fish Lane dining precinct. A Mod-Chinese restaurant brought to you from the folks behind Rick Shores.

The venue is set to feature house made dim sum, and the classic Chinese wok style dishes which the team is known for, alongside the inclusion of the venue's own noodle rolling room which is set to catch the glaze of all pedestrians through Melbourne street.

As we were a group of 9 we had to have a set banquet. That said, the staff were very happy to accommodate any special dietary requests. The food was great, lots of flavour and the right portions, no one went hungry. The service was outstanding. This was the perfect restaurant for a catch up lunch with friends. Highly recommend.

Every aspect of our dine in was excellent. The Staff were very professional, knew the Specials, explained the whole operation. An excellent wine list to choose from and wine by the glass exceeded my expectations, very good purchasing by the Sommelier, well done. We started with the entrees and were very impressive and tasty. We both had different steaks and they were cooked as requested and were magnificent, nothing to fault here. We enjoyed the experience so much that we will return again

About the restaurant

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.
