01 / The experience

Make the skyline part of a tasting-menu evening.

A long tasting-menu dinner above the CBD, with Melbourne spread out beneath level 55 of the Rialto.

$$$$Drinks, supplements and surcharges extra. Price bands per person: $ under A$40 · $$ A$40–79.99 · $$$ A$80–149.99 · $$$$ A$150+.Modern AustralianDinner · food only

Give Vue de Monde a whole evening during your Melbourne week. The level-55 dining room turns a city dinner into an occasion, with a single chef’s tasting menu rather than an à la carte choice. This is a table to plan around: choose a quieter pre-race evening, leave the afternoon flexible and arrive ready to settle in.

Dinner runs Wednesday to Sunday, with Friday-to-Sunday lunch offering another way to enjoy the restaurant. A race-day lunch competes with time at Albert Park, so it makes more sense before the event or during an extended stay. A Sunday dinner can be a celebration after the Grand Prix if you allow enough time to leave the circuit, return to your hotel and cross the CBD.

The published menu is A$380 per person before drinks, with a Sunday or public-holiday surcharge. Check the complete cost, dietary arrangements and cancellation deadline before securing a table. Confirm the reservation’s arrival instructions for the Rialto lifts; the address identifies the building, not a street-level dining room.
