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.

Best meal we had in a long time. Both the wine and the tea pairing were excellent! If you can go for the Wagyu supplement, it was absolutely worth it!
