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.

Located in the CBD the restaurant is always full, even on the weekdays, as the smell of the BBQ floats down from the terrance stopping people in their tracks. Just like mother used to makeTaste is something Hwaro is particular about. Taste is what owner and chef Eunsook Kim is mostly concerned with. Her dignified and somber character, reminds many people of their own mothers. Kim herself is essential to Hwaro. The preparations for all the meat and sauce available at Hwaro are handled by Kim alone. This includes supervision of the slicing of the Karubi (boneless short ribs), and preparation of the 23 different ingredients* needed for the hot pepper Sangyu Pusaru seasoning.

A PURE VIETMANESE STREET FOOD EXPERIENCE:To create something unique, you have to mix things up. Vietnamese food is one of the most diversified and influenced cuisines on the planet, but at its core, it is a delightful mix of shared native flavours and borrowed techniques. Without its French influence, Vietnamese cuisine would not be as we know it today. This coming together of two completely different culinary cultures, focused on authenticity, health and obsession to do simple things well, exists at the core of our passion. At Bon Bon Boy, we love what we do, and we welcome you to our restaurant as if you were family. We hope you love our food and feel our passion for Pure Vietnamese street food.

    Amazing dinner. Food was fabulous, and amazing value. $79 pp for a huge amount of food, 8 small courses and sides. I like to chat and joke with wait staff, and they were all very friendly and good at their jobs. Thanks to the team, we will definitely be back.

    We had the Taste of Freyja menu with the beverage pairing and were blown away by the quality and deliciousness of the food. The night was made even better by the attentive service of Abraham and Nick who both did a fantastic job of making sure we felt welcomed and comfortable. Thank you for a memorable night. Would recommend to anyone wanting a special night out.
