Vue de monde , a french restaurant ,is probably one of the most highly talked about restaurant in Melbourne. Given that it's $250.00 per head for a degustation menu, I am really not surprised that the thought of eating a pair of jeans worth of food would linger in a person's mind for the next couple of days,or  perhaps years. My dining experience at Vue de Monde was an unforgettable one. It was embellished with understated luxury, great wine, delicious food and awesome company. The ambience was immaculate.

I was honoured to be invited to a good friend's 21st a while ago, and It was held at Vue de monde. Given that it was a private function, we were allocated in a rather cosy dining hall, fitted with modern furniture, and an attached bathroom. We were taken care of very greatly that night by the waiter. Our wish were their commands, that made the night ever more enjoyable. 

Before each dish were served, the waiter would introduce the dish in great details. not knowing much about gastronome, I was left staring into thin air. nevertheless, I knew the food was immaculately prepared. As they were all artfully crafted by the chef, it took me awhile to interpret the ingredients of dishes at times.I'm sorry but I'm really not someone who would look into fine details of food. especially when precious ingredients were finely sculptured. The fact that the ingredients were precious was already a great indicator that it's rarely to be seen on dinner plate, let alone finely sculptured food that makes it beyond recognition. on the flip side,The great thing about having a degustation menu, is perhaps the fact that wine is matched to accompany each course. I had such a good time enjoying all the different wines that I could hardly reach the door by the end of the night. 

I would strongly recommend Vue de monde as a place for catching up with friends, while enjoying great food. You are in there to get every pennies worth.
