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.

The service and food were both incredible. Every dish was so unique. It's definitely quite pricey (high-end for sure but maybe a little over-priced), but an experience you would only need to do once in a blue moon. Everyone who lives in Melbourne or visits Melbourne needs to do this at least once

Truly a exceptional encounter, from the service, ambience and views are complimented by one of the best dining experiences I've had in Melbourne. The food not only delectable but the range of flavours both suttle and punch packing with the textures of each dish changing were outstanding, like a roller-coaster ride on the pallete, truly a delight paired with some of the best wines to elevate the taste of each dish, giving it another level of depth. The smaller details like a textured spoon for added mouth feel, to the table side manner of each individual staff member helping to further enhance the experience and enchanting the diner to the world of the vu de monde pallete, it is no wonder it is such a icon that has been around for the last 20yrs.

Tasty food, some French and some molecular cuisine techniques and a great display of Australian produce, including finger limes, local Wagyu beef, kangaroo and green ants, as well as a lovely cheese display cabinet....amazing flowers goat cheeses that rival the French ones' would have been nice to include Holy Goat. Wasn't a fan of the Chinese caviar (Russian or Iranian are much better...but wars in both regions may limit the supply), but in the absence of good quality one, it would have been nice to find an alternative ingredient. The first dish was certainly one of the stars as well as the kangaroo. Definitely full after 13 dishes!.... Very nice to invite guests into the kitchen to participate and chat to one of the 15 chefs and see the magic from up close! Overall, a great experience to be repeated.
