Vue de monde

For more than 20 years, this luxe restaurant atop Collins Street’s Rialto Tower has been a favourite fine diner for Melburnians celebrating all manner of special occasions. Describing itself as an Australian restaurant, Vue de Monde artfully showcases a blend of native ingredients and high quality produce across its dynamic multi-course menu. The Australian theme continues across its landscape-inspired design, down to the sustainably sourced kangaroo fur chairs.

An ear-popping elevator ride to the 55th floor of the Rialto building terminates at this brooding dining room, its inky tones offset by glittering city views. Pull up a kangaroo-pelt chair for 14-ish imaginative courses headlined by indigenous ingredients. That might include damper (campfire bread) charred at the table, marron chawanmushi with finger lime, and kangaroo pho with green ants.

Soaring over Melbourne at 234 metres, and occupying the observation deck of the second tallest building in the city, Vue de monde houses itself serving modern fine dining with a view extending up to 60 kilometres on a clear day. Be sure to book in advance to get a table at this prestigious restaurant if you want to have the opportunity to taste some of Melbourne’s best haute cuisine.

Best for: Luxury dining 55 floors above Melbourne CBD.Cuisine: Modern Australian. Remarkable city views that stretch out to the Dandenong Ranges are a given when you’re 55 floors above Melbourne CBD. For many years, Vue de Monde, currently on the observation deck of Rialto Towers, has been the state’s signature fine dining experience and a reliable showstopper for those wealthy and ravenous in equal measure. Backed by studious service, executive chef Hugh Allen has now moved away from the Euro-stylings of the restaurant’s formative years and pushed to redefine what “modern Australian” really means, using only the finest native ingredients and a confident splash of restraint across an impressive 18-course feast.

At Vue de Monde, vegetarian diners experience the same sky-high culinary ambition as their meat-eating counterparts—just with more truffle-dusted root vegetables and fewer Wagyu fat tears. Shannon Bennett's team transforms their $360 tasting menu into a plant-based masterpiece where "Red kangaroo & mushroom" becomes a foraged fungi symphony with black garlic soil, and even the iconic damper bread service gets a luxe vegan makeover featuring whipped macadamia cream and Davidson plum jam. Dishes like the Jerusalem artichoke tart—with its whisper-thin pastry shell and tarragon air—produce fine dining's rarest magic trick: making you overlook whether meat was ever on the menu.

The scene: Dining at Vue de Monde is like being suspended in the centre of the galaxy. At this top end restaurant perched 55 storeys high, black walls dominate the space, while orb-like lighting hangs from the ceiling and the city lights twinkle far below, creating an out-of-this-world environment that perfectly matches the nature of the food. A seasonal tasting menu featuring an international mix of modern Australian and European food is served for lunch and dinner with an eclectic array of appetisers, starters, main courses, palate cleansers and desserts, all served in miniature portions so you’ve got enough room to savour every bite.

Widely considered one of the best restaurants in Melbourne, Vue De Monde more than earns its place on this list (especially for its incredible steak offering). The acclaimed fine diner has just undergone a significant refit and is invariably best experienced with the chef’s menu, which changes so often that it’s tiring to keep up with Executive Chef Hugh Allen and his passionate expression of Australian native ingredients.

CUISINE: Modern Australian fine diningADDRESS: Rialto Towers, 525 Collins St, Melbourne VIC 3000OPENING HOURS: Wednesday – Saturday: 6pm – late, Friday – Saturday: Lunch from 12pmINSTAGRAM: @vuedemonde.

Gumnuts tangled in an eucalyptus wreath turn out to be wattleseed choccies, and that outback “roo-shi” isn’t from Japan. And when things start as slam-the-table-good as the macadamia and smoked eel tofu, you know you’re in serious danger of falling head over heels for Melbourne’s bucketlist diner in the clouds. Wunderchef Hugh Allen is making his mark on a restaurant almost as old as he is, taking your experience to lofty heights beyond Vue’s 55 floors with vision, sophisticated techniques and respect for ingredients – while having a lot of fun in the process.
