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.

Loved our experience here, waiters were attentive and warm. The only thing that we weren’t too happy about is that the outside sign said $69 happy hour from 4-7pm but the time has been recently changed to 6pm. But overall great value regardless. Will visit again!

We had drinks here for my husband’s birthday. The service was great and all staff were attentive. We both ordered the scotch fillet steak which was very tender. The only thing that I could complain about was that the salad needed a bit more oomph. The watermelon sour cocktail was delicious 🍸
