Vue de monde

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.
