All I can say is EPIC. This was our second visit in 12 months, and I arrived with exceptionally high expectations after such an outstanding first experience. With dining, you don’t always expect things to be better the second time around—you simply hope for consistency. Given how hard it would be to top our previous visit, I remained optimistic but realistic. What followed completely exceeded those expectations. I genuinely didn’t think our earlier experience could be surpassed, yet it was utterly blown away. The generosity of the team and the genuine care they show for one another is immediately evident and clearly driven from the top. This team represents the very pinnacle of hospitality, creating experiences that are truly unforgettable. Of course, the food is incredible and the views are breathtaking—but it’s the team that makes everything sing. They can only be described as Exceptional!
Wow!!! What a way to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. Simply exquisite, the flavour profiles, the execution and delivery of every dish did not disapoint. We have been fortunate to have dined at some of the Worlds best, Martin Berasetagui & Arzak in San Sebastián, Fat Duck & Dinner by Heston Blumenthal and more recently Restaurant Dan Arnold in Brisbane and Vue Du Monde is another that sits with the very best. The service was on point, the Wine list extensive and amazing and the entire experience was absolutely sensational, we will be back! Thank you Team Vue Du Monde, you absolutely nailed it.
Got in contact with customer services and got a lunch reservation pretty much last minute before my visa ended and I’d say it’s worth every second I waited for the confirmation. Service is outstanding, attentive and detailed, not leaving anything to be complained about. Food is spectacular, it does taste as good as it looks and vice versa. The ambience and setting makes you feel like a millionaire and it is definitely for very special occasions, better shared with more people than just yourself. Thank you the team at Vue for giving me the experience of a lifetime.
We celebrated my birthday at Vue de Monde (2 Oct 2025), and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. The team (especially Silvia, Barbara, Mia, and Neil) were outstanding, attentive, intuitive, and genuinely kind. They struck the perfect balance between engagement and giving us space, making the evening feel effortless. From the lobby welcome to our farewell, every interaction was thoughtful and polished. They handled complex allergy requirements with remarkable care, never once making us feel like an inconvenience. Each of the 11 or so courses were perfectly portioned and timed. We had to decline the cheese course as we were so full! Every dish flowed into the next with thoughtful precision, each complementing the previous and what was to come. My highlights included; the garlic and leek tart, wagyu and damper, and the ice cream sandwich. The Million Dollar Baby cocktail was a heavenly must from Lui Bar. This paired with the views made the evening even more memorable. At the end, they presented a handwritten birthday card, which was a beautiful personal touch. It’s those small gestures, paired with flawless service and exceptional food, that make the Vue de Monde team truly world class. We are so grateful to the team for making the night unforgettable, and we will definitely be back.
Highly recommend for any special occasions. The experience starts from the moment you enter the foyer at street level where you are greeted and it continues as you take the lift to the 55th floor. The views are spectacular looking out to Melbourne high above the city at sunset. The wait staff were truly amazing and really did everything to break the mold of robot waiters,they added their own personal touch which was well received. The dining area was spacious and left the experience very intiment. The food was a absolute culinary masterpiece. The flavors and the textures and unique paintings of some foods left an orgasmic explosion in your mouth. We celebrated our 40th birthdays at Vue we made the most perfect choice of restaurants for this momentous occasion. The chefs tour of the kitchen added a whole new element to the experience, With Wealth of knowledge and overall experience every section of the kitchen was explaon in great detail by the Sous Chef who was a very funny yet very professional man. We enjoyed a photo with the chefs and the topped out the experience for us it was beautiful. After this we returned to our table to find beautiful personalized birthday cards signed by the staff. It was truly a night and experience that we will remember forever and pass on the message to as many people as possible. Highly recommended
