    This venue has brought the excitement and fun of an Aussie country pub to the inner city. We celebrated a birthday here after reading all the good reviews and we were pleasantly surprised. The styling created a cozy ambience. The open fire and decor also added to the atmosphere. On the night we attended, there was a meat raffle to raise money for charity. The staff created excitement as they paraded through with the prize, ringing a small bell. All staff were enthusiastic and helpful. This venue was not just serving food; it was creating an experience which we will recommend to all. We can't wait to return on "steak night" or "schnitzel night". So, if you are looking for 'Aussie spirit', I am quite sure you will find it here!

    Vue de Monde is a very special place. It is a fantastic experience with each course a work of art and each flavour recognisable. The wine selection is outstanding with choices to compliment each course. The international staff were experienced, attentive, friendly and knowledgeable and epitomised the term ’Vue de Monde’.

    The environment is quite nice and there aren't many people. The steak I ordered was medium but already had a burnt taste. The fries that came with it were very delicious.
