    We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Vue de Monde. The service was incredible, with great attention to detail. The food was the best I have ever had in my life, with many of the dishes containing ingredients I don't usually like yet being my favourite of the night. An experience my partner and I will never forget. Thank you to all the staff for such a memorable experience.

    Having been to Vorea Polaris some time ago I was happy to recommend the restaurant for a family gathering/Sunday Brunch. Unfortunately (as sometimes happens), the standard of cooking and food was not quite as good as previously. The once tender steak sandwiches were gristly and difficult to eat. My Eggs Benedict came with firm egg yolks. In their defence, when I queried this I was provided with two perfectly poached replacement eggs. The waitress was fantastic. The noise level a tad high. Parking was VERY difficult. The ability to pay separately for a table of six was a bonus.

    The food presentation is excellent. We pre-ordered and the food was available very quickly. Very accommodating of food allergies/special needs. Only negative was quite a limited menu.
