Vue de Monde
A long tasting-menu dinner above the CBD, with Melbourne spread out beneath level 55 of the Rialto.
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.
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 before-tennis 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 tournament-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 Australian Open if you allow enough time to leave Melbourne Park, 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.
