Lonely Planet review for Vue de Monde

Melbourne’s favoured spot for occasion dining isn’t stuffy; although set in a 19th-century barrister’s chamber, the space is starkly luxe. This is degustation dining with a capital D: you choose how much gastronomic immersion you’re up for and courses will be tailored accordingly. Two course lunch specials are available too ($55). Book ahead. If you’re after something a little less rigorous, Bistro Vue does brilliant French staples (goose-fat frites anyone?) in a riotous rendition of haute-bourgeois décor. The shopfront Café Vue is open Mon-Fri from 7am and does astonishingly good-value breakfasts, brunches and lunch boxes (not to mention perfect Illy coffee and amazing pastries).

    Good but not quite great

    diarmuidr recommends this,

    I went here with my wife for a celebration. We had the Menu Gastronome - not cheap at $250 but we had 9 courses of superb inventive food. My only criticisms would be that it was almost too rich but it was some of the best and most interesting food I had ever eaten. Standout dish would be the "Cheese" course, which was really more like a goat's cheese cheesecake that was superbly light and delicate.

    Where the meal fell down was in the service - I felt too much that we were being "sold to" and the service was disinterested. Glasses left uncleared (more than once), disinterest in our thoughts on each dish and packing up the restaurant while we were still eating. Nothing terrible, but at these prices you expect perfection...
