About Vue de Monde
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!
