Vue de Monde

In the same weekend that I experience Fat Duck, I also dined at Vue de Monde. Everyone that I had spoken to said VDM was mind blowing and amazing so I was really excited to try this out. Of course, I had booked VDM the day after Fat Duck - so how was this place going to top that?

It's nothing like the Fat Duck experience - but the food quality is absolute top notch. The inventions, the settings and the flavours were amazing (and that's having had Fat Duck the day before) so you can imagine how good it would have been if it was my first meal in Melbourne!

I would highly recommend this restaurant and I am shocked that it has not been given a michelin star because it truly deserves one

Table settings - rustic with a hint of medieval (Game of Thrones inspired perhaps)

The kitchen - watching them make and smelling the food is all part of the experience!

Compressed apple crisps & macadamia pureé

Part of the entree

Salt cured Flinders Island wallaby

So delicious!

Smoked eel candy & eel w/caviar

Oysters - just hidden!

Appetiser in between - think it was strawberry sorbet on icing sugar? Whatever it was, it was delicious!
