The focus has, and always will be, to present an exciting and dynamic experience with a progression of flavours and a sense of curiosity. In the year 2000, Chef Shannon Bennett opened Vue de monde from a quirky terrace building in Drummond Street, Carlton. Before, relocating to the historic Normanby Chambers in Melbourne’s central business district. This move signified a shift in direction, with a focus on the theatrical and the dedication to dining as an experience. It was the move to the new premises that Vue de monde achieved widespread critical acclaim and international recognition, including a then unprecedented 19/20 from The Age Good Food Guide. In June 2011 Vue de monde relocated to the 55th floor of Melbourne’s iconic Rialto building, with sweeping views of Melbourne’s cityscape. More recently Vue de monde was awarded Victorian Restaurant of the Year at the 2024 Gourmet Traveller Annual Restaurant Awards.

Outstanding wedding venue on 55th floor

It was quite an experience, having covered a wedding on 55th floor reception. The food was exceptionally good. Best I've tasted from any wedding venue before. The staff was professional and attentive. Highly recommended!

Vue de Monde: A Memorable Wedding Venue

We held our wedding at Vue de Monde last year and it was truly memorable! Our guests enjoyed the food and ambience. Table and kitchen staff on the day were very professional and courteous. It was a day to remember and we will be coming back for our anniversary. My only advice to anyone planning a wedding here is that you hire your own wedding stylist/planner or a trusted friend to decorate room, check orders (eg.

Vue de Monde: A Wedding Dream Come True

Very rarely does a place live up to the hype. Let alone one's own expectations. We had a wedding celebration in the private room and it absolutely exceeded our wildest hopes and dreams. Vue de Monde is a Tour de Force. This was a menu told in story form over 13 chapters. Elevating local produce to a level we have never experienced before. This place needs to sit in the same company as any of the Michelin starred places in Barcelona. The kangaroo, the marron, the wagyu were out of this world.
