Vue de Monde
16 people recommend, 5 warn against itvia r/melbourne22 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Vue de Monde is recommended for its views and overall experience, and commenters also praise the food. Others find it expensive, underwhelming or past its prime, and one reports careless plate service. A diner who enjoys the food and views still wishes the menu changed more often. The setting is part of the appeal, but the discussion contains real disagreement on value and the recommendations are not uniformly enthusiastic.
