Top Tags:
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.

    Struggling to say it was worthwhile for the experience. Service was outstanding. Food was just ok. A lot of emphasis on Australian, but many dishes were just ok or even borderline not fitting of degustation of this price point. Just enough food, the cheese selection was good, but very small serving. Desserts were well, small dry round doughnut with sauce and the worst biscuits made from eucaluptus and other almost unappetising ingredients. Staff were outstanding, idea is great, seems a big focus on drinks and not what we thought we were paying for... mind blowing tasty food. If I am asked to recommend, my short answer is "No". No value and not where price point should be. Not even close.

    This is our sixth visit to VDM Unfortunately it was our least favoured experience out of the six. All the staff seemed tense, not relaxed or friendly. Weird feeling.. Jumped all over your table if a crumb fell on the ground. Feel like your being watched Went the pairing, they leave the bottle on table, so I poured a little bit extra in glass Unfriendly sommelier came and grabbed the bottle and took it away in an aggressive manner I suppose all good things need to come to an end

    Everything was completely stunning more than I expected. Last night I celebrated my wife’s birthday in Vue de Monde. I can tell you if you are looking for some unusual restaurant. Having dinner in Vue de Monde is absolutely special so if you decide to go there, you will not go wrong. Sylvia, who was looking after our table, was reliably kind and was organising our table really well. Also Raj, who was serving tea pairing, was very professional and passionately knowledgeable. And I enjoyed wine pairing which was served by a sommelier who was of course perfectly doing well. Finally the executive chef is very humble and talented. So every dishes here was by far the creative and well designed. Superb.

    It was our wedding anniversary and it was the best meal that either of us have ever eaten. Every dish was a surprise and a delight to the taste buds. It was a culinary journey through Australia that challenged the senses. Service was outstanding from staff who obviously enjoyed making people happy. Thank you so much. We left replete but very delighted.

    We dine out a lot, normally not at venues at this price, except occasionally overseas. Having said that, the evening was truly spectacular. The environment, view, service, friendliness and level of dining experience was magical. I'm quite difficult to impress at restaurants, but it was impossible to fault Vue Du Monde. Presentation of all dishes was exceptional, staff explained each dish served beautifully, and we thoroughly enjoyed the perfect blend of whimsy, creativity and style. Choosing a wine was fun, Dorian knowledgeable and helpful, without trying to direct us to something outside of what we were willing to spend. From the welcome to the farewell, and all in-between, I'd easily rate our evening 10/10 and we will return for sure. Would have enjoyed meeting the chefs - perhaps next time. They looked friendly in the open kitchen, but we didn't want to intrude their space last night. Class, class and more class - thank you for a great evening.

    The food is very good, the servers are knowledgeable and friendly, and it's definitely an experience. It's worth it if you're happy to spend $1k on a dinner for 2 (with non alcoholic drinks) for a very special occasion - but only in the special date scenario. I'd hesitate to call it good value if you weren't after that specific ambience only a high class/expensive restaurant can give you :)

    Unfortunately Vue de monde has not returned to its former glory after their months of renovations. Renovations - I didn't really notice much of a difference Service - no longer made to feel special. No breakfast bag. None of the little touches they had before. Food was good but there's plenty of good food places in Melbourne to go to instead.

    Loved the experience! However was seated on a larger table which made it hard to talk to my friend (there was just the two of us). Service was excellent and love that each dish was presented by a different chef. The only negative comment I will make is the make urinals. They all face one another which means if there is more than one person using it you are looking into the eyes or worse, their groin of another guest while you relieve yourself. When when I was in the bathroom others were talking about how awkward this is.
