The menu is a bit small, but do they pack a punch! The kangaroo tartare tartlet and the lamb dup are both outstanding. Good wine list as well. But it’s not a very busy restaurant and the service is excellent.

The experience we had at Vue de Monde was exceptional! The food, the services, the ambiance just perfect. My daughter had her 21st birthday celebration there and we were invited to the kitchen tour, and she got the birthday card with the team members signatures on it, and the photo with whole team of chef! Absolutely outstanding experience and life time memories!
