This is one of the most unique and exceptional restaurants in Australia. Another of my top five.
Lots has been written about this restaurant and its chef Shannon Bennett. I have been there a number of times now, both at its old location and the newer venue in the city. Its popularity means you really need to book ahead for this one.
If you're adventurous with your food, and can give over control to others, Vue de Monde is a must! There are no menus. Just a trusted and knowledgeable staff who will look after you. You choose the number of courses you would like, and how many dessert or cheese courses you would like. You can tell the waiters of any allergies you might have, or foods you don't like, but for the rest, leave it up to the talented team. I recommend getting the matching wines - you will be looked after, and perhaps discover something new.
They have optional additions to the menu also. Again, when I've opted for these I have not been disappointed. The food is dramatic, but great. The foie gras is sensational and usually forms part of any menu, unless of course you opt not to have it. Though I think some of the special attention to individual customers has been lost with he bigger venue and the popular following, it's still worthy of its status in the top Australian restaurants.
I love it! I'm always looking for reasons to go back.
Vue de Monde is at 430 Little Collins St, Melbourne 03 9691 3888.
