About the restaurant

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.

First time dining at Farm Vigano. Staff could not fault the service, promptness and friendliness. Food was delicious with the highlight being the Linguine Pasta w Spanner Crab. Pizza’s great, perfectly wood-fired. Considering how busy never waited long for food or drinks to come out. Beautiful setting, spectacular views and just a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

We really enjoyed our lunch. We booked an outdoor table but due to the wind they also reserved us a table inside in case we preferred to eat inside which was very thoughtful. Staff were friendly. The food was very well presented but a bit bland. The view is amazing but the music choice (doof doof dance music) was not appropriate. It was busy and we were never offered dessert menu so we ended up leaving after the main meal. We would go back again and would recommend it. It is set in a beautiful location with mini golf next door. There were queues to get in but it moved quite quickly.
