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.

We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary here and it was amazing. We had a pre dinner drink in the trendy Lui Bar which started the night off perfectly. Attentive and friendly service, incredible food & wine, lovely atmosphere. The surprise tour of the kitchen and photo with all the kitchen staff with a lovely card signed by all the staff was so nice. Did not feel rushed & would totally recommend Vue de monde for a special occasion
