Vue de Monde

There has never been a restaurant in Australia like Vue de Monde. Set within modernised CBD law chambers, chef/patron Shannon Bennett is all about theatre, taking the dining experience to a new (fun) level. Unashamedly pitched at the upper levels of fiscal elasticity, the aim – and they succeed – is to provide something that lingers long after the credit card bill has faded. The kitchen’s expanding repertoire aims more than ever for the ‘wow’ factor. Steaming cauldrons, frozen platters, liquids bubbling with dry ice – whether it’s frozen foie gras ‘dirt’ with toasted rice and Thai pepper soup, liquid cep gnocchi, ‘five-minute boullabaisse’, or interactive desserts such as the coulant au chocolat blanc with pear and white pepper gel and liquorice dust. Add a vast international wine list plus engaging, free-thinking service and dining here is a satisfying, emotional rollercoaster. Fasten your seatbelts.
