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.

The welcome to the restaurant was very weak; the lady at the front reception was too busy chit-chatting to friends to take us to the lift up to the restaurant; so, we ended up at level 46 and luckily there was someone working there to help us to get back down. She had an argument with us that we caught the wrong lift (hardly our fault). When we finally got to the restaurant, I mentioned it to Hugo at the door to try to assist it from happening again to others and, instead of saying sorry to us, he too argued with us and was incredibly rude; if I was not with a VIP client (who was aghast over it), I would have walked out immediately and lost the deposit. So, that’s 2 staff who should not work at your restaurant. I felt so angry that it spoilt the rest of my lunch.
