The ever-changing chef’s menu pays homage to classical fine dining in a modern context by exploring the beauty of native Australian ingredients.

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.

We had drinks here for my husband’s birthday. The service was great and all staff were attentive. We both ordered the scotch fillet steak which was very tender. The only thing that I could complain about was that the salad needed a bit more oomph. The watermelon sour cocktail was delicious 🍸

Had a great experience at Ming’s Dining doing their bottomless brunch set menu. There was so many options available for beverages even our non-alcohol drinkers were happy with the value of money for this package. The food alone was spectacular and had our whole table talking. We had a few vegetarians and one vegan and the staff were so accomodating with food options. I will definitely be back to enjoy more of their tasty menu!!
