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.

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 servers and the staff were one of the best I have seen. They were so kind and courteous that it made the whole experience so warm and comfortable. The food was good but I hope that you add a few more veg options. The Bao dish was the best and it was really really good. Overall we would recommend this place to our friends because of the overall experience.Thank you.

Ambience is amazing the way the whole restaurant layout has been done is next to none. Service was 10/10 and the food is on the pricy side but worth it. Will be coming back again to try the different options such as the chefs special menu or the sushi. Overall experience was amazing.
