When it comes to a superb gastronomic experience Down Under, the award-winning Vue de Monde in Melbourne is head and
shoulders above the rest. Located at the historic Normanby Chambers, Vue de Monde is the creation of owner and Executive Chef,
Shannon Bennett. His philosophy of serving classical French-inspired food prepared with flair and finesse has earned
Vue de Monde a world-class reputation among food connoisseurs.
There's plenty of action at Vue de Monde, where most of the restaurant focuses on a seriously exposed and recently extended kitchen pass. For the best seat in the house, the chef's table – situated in a semi-private alcove at one end of the kitchen – gives an unobstructed view of the chefs at work.
Catering for four to six guests, the lunch menu offering is the same as that of the main dining room, while evening diners are served the specially created gastronome's menu. Bursting with flavor, the white truffle risotto, Spring Bay scallop tartare on papaya and Western Australian marron will not fail to satisfy. To complete the meal, there is an impressive wine list to choose from with guidance from the sommelier.
Lunch at Vue de Monde's chef's table costs from A$100 *(US$88.00) per person. The evening gastronome's menu costs
A$250 *(US$221) for a 12-course dinner and delectable handmade chocolates to take home. Drinks are an additional cost.
