Top tags:
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.

    I took my mother here as we have wanted to go for years and finally able to make it happen. We were not disappointed at all. We opted for the full indulgent wine pairing and would not have done it any other way. The waiters knowledge of everything was exceptional and so friendly. The sommelier really knew what they were doing and every wine was paired perfectly to each dish. We just had the best night and it did not disappoint. Atmosphere was lovely also, we were able to talk across the table without having to raise our voice and the view at night across the city was beautiful.

    Literally the night of dreams. We took our daughters who are 19 and 21 fearing that it may be too overwhelming and intimidating. The experience was perfection from the moment we entered the restaurant. An incredible team of passionate staff who clearly love working together made us feel immediately welcome and comfortable. We were guided to our table which not only had breathtaking views of the city but was also both spacious and private. The level of service had to be experienced to be believed - simply incredible. And then of course came the food and wine. Delicious. Inventive. Genius. Cannot recommend highly enough. We will be back.

    What an amazing experience again we had. Celebrating a chefs birthday, where else do you take him but to vue de monde. Exceptional service, highest quality food, knowledgeable friendly staff, view to die for. Flavours that attack your taste buds, presentation of food amazing. Highly recommend the experience, at least once in your lifetime, but hopefully more, we'll be back again thats for sure. Well done great team from welcome to departure.

    A truly beautiful experience with a sumptuous feast! There were many courses and each one was presented perfectly and a true delicacy and signature dish on its own. Great ambience and spectacular view. Staff were all so friendly and attentive, and would answer you questions and help you take photos. We even got a tour to see the kitchen and a group photo with the team too! Great value for money we felt like we went on a trip and it is perfect in every way

    Upon entering the restaurant, we were amazed by the views, the staff, the service, the food and the high level of attention given to each customer. Given the many staff members at Vue de Monde, you quickly realize they are all there to ensure the client has a wonderful experience and that we had. We love blind menus and the food did not disappoint. Very interesting flavor combinations and all while being served in a very professional, but low key way, it’s the perfect balance for a restaurant of this calibre. Well done, we will be back soon!

    We were all excited about the tasting menu with wine pairing. Unfortunately they didn’t deliver. The presentation was excellent but taste was ordinary at best. Wine pairing didn’t match well. Service was spotty. It started well as the staff was attentive but halfway thru we seemed to have gotten ignored. That view from the 55th floor of the city was spectacular but was not enough to offset the bad dining experience.

    Appetisers are amazing as usual. Didn’t think I would ever want to say this, but the main course had been a bit disappointing for the past few months, both in terms of the taste and texture. Hoping for a new main dish soon-ish?

    Service was amazing, your glass is never empty. The food was lovely, a few things I wouldn’t normally try, however they were all nice. I think the wine pairing is great, however for the price, I think the glasses could have been a little fuller, and possibly a glass of champagne included in the mix.
