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 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.

    We were so impressed with everything on our night out at Lagoon. We booked and arrived in good time. The restaurant was very busy but well worth the little wait we had. The maitre d' was efficient and welcoming. We took a little while to make up our minds as everything sounded lovely. Our food was delicious, such good flavours. My husband who notices music more than I do said how perfect the music was to create a good ambience. We really enjoyed our evening and will return. Definitely a special night out - Keat is a brilliant chef!
