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.

Everything was fantastic. However liquid smoke was used on the onion relish on the burger and it was wayyy too overpowering. It hid the flavour of the burger meat. Being wagu it needed more subtle flavourings.

Brilliant meal! The steak tartare oysters were a stand out as were the beetroot with beans and the spring salad. And you have some great non-alcoholic options - much appreciated - keep them coming! (The chilli that reappeared in different dishes felt unnecessary and like it muted some of the nuance of other flavours.) Thanks for a lovely evening.

We had the taco and sashimi plates - both were superb. We also found all the staff to be friendly and extremely helpful when choosing the food. The restaurant manager was knowledgeable about the wines they stock and in discussion with her we were pleased with our choice. Can't speak highly enough of the people and the place!
