Vue de Monde Overview

The 2007 AGFG Australian Chef of the Year!

Shannon Bennett began his culinary journey at the age of fifteen and was crafted into one of Australia's top chef's by the world's best. Beginning his training at the Grand Hyatt Melbourne under Roger Leinhard, he later moved to Europe and worked in the kitchens of such greats as Albert Roux, John Burton-Race and Marco Pierre White. For the last six years however, Shannon's feet have been firmly set on home soil at his Melbourne restaurant Vue de Monde where his notoriety has grown largely a result of his obsession for classical cuisine which has seen him reinterpret the cuisine of creators such as Carême, Dugléré and Escoffier and develop an exciting, cutting edge cuisine of his own.

Shannon's devotion and pride has gained him a reputation as one of this country's most exciting chefs. His dedication to provide a dining experience that cannot be created at home is achieved so well through his commitment to the dining experience as a whole; from the sourcing of rare ingredients, to his uncompromising approach to classical technique and his commitment to the very best of restaurant service including crockery, cutlery and glassware.

Vue de Monde relocated to Normanby Chambers, Little Collins Street in June 2005 - a move that has taken the dining experience at Vue de Monde to yet another level!

Vue de Monde Review by dannyh - Wednesday, 9 December 2009

Food: Outstanding  Setting/Decor: Outstanding  Service: Outstanding  Value: Very Good

Since working with Shannon at the Grand Hyatt Melbourne some 14 years ago,shannon then being an apprentice chef who worked in all of the kitchens under Roger Lion heart(Executive Chef) and then Dieter Harland and myself as chef Tournant in the Banquet Kitchen,has truly become the highlight of one of Melbourne's best Restaurants if not the best.I remember Shannon being the person that he was then and still is today.Shannon always had that spark in his eyes that shined like an diamond,with a thirst for more.We all at the Grand Hyatt knew this hungry young chef was going to be something special. After leaving the Hyatt and finishing he,s apprenticeship he embarked to go to europe and worked with some of the best chefs that embraced him and taught him the way to he,s now great status. Many chefs copy or replicate from others but not Shannon,He is a self motivated Professional chef that creates his ideas with great artistic balance.I am proud to say that I had the chance to work with such a chef as he is today.Shannon now has the the world at his feet,and mark my words its only time that stands between him and being the holder of the best restaurant of world if not holding a minimum of three of the best restaurants in the top ten. I have dined at his restaurants on a number of occasions and every time I leave with a thought" when will I come back " just trying to make an excuse to further indulge in his food,and wine great wine selection.Mmm I do believe my mouth is drewling, Its time for my 20th visit. My sincere regards AVR.

Vue de Monde Review by k.t - Friday, 23 January 2009

Food: Outstanding  Setting/Decor: Good  Service: Outstanding  Value: Good

Our table of 4 were divided in our opinions on this restaurant. The food, without question is spectacular, we all agreed on that. We had 8 courses and 2 bottles of wine. Not much change out of $1000. You obviously don't come here if you're watching the "pennies". Value for money is so subjective. One of our group thought it very over priced, others delighted to eat so well for what they considered a fair price. Particularly compared to London, where they had just been. The opinions, of the room itself were mixed. I prefered the old place in Carlton, others loved the new place. Hell of a draught when the doors were openned to let people in & the noise from the industrial type "Barmix" was intrusive when sitting near the kitchen. (my opinion) Others loved the "theatre" of watching the kitchen brigade at work. No menu? This brought mixed views. Some loved the idea of being surprised when the next dish arrived. I prefer to know what's coming, so the taste buds get excited in anticipation and good wine selection can be made. (Although the Sommellier was spot on with the recomendations) Unless you have deep pockets this is a "special occassion" restaurant. We will definitely return, but will ask for a table away from the front door!
