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.

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.

It’s lovely that we were greeted twice by two separate wait staff who were very friendly, but then it took time to get their attention to order. Food was amazing but with items the delicious Betel Leaf with Prawn, we really needed some wipes to clean sticky fingers. We did our best with napkins, but as an entree I felt sticky for the remainder of the meal. Awesome restaurant and there was a lovely American girl, should have got her name, but she was the hostess that I would like to see in my organisation, where I working on guest experience standards. I will be back!

Service from Jamie was great. We were sitting in a corner so it was noisy, sound bouncing from everywhere. Their “feed me” style option looked like good value. We chose not to do that as one person in our party just doesn’t. Food is kinda pricey if going a la carte so I would recommend doing it. All items we ate were super tasty! Cocktails were fun.
