Vue de monde

Modern Australian

(1503)
Vue de monde is a testament to the belief that dining can be a wondrous and unforgettable experience. The ever-changing chef’s menu pays homage to classical fine dining in a modern context by exploring the beauty of native Australian ingredients. While in the past the menu looked to Europe for inspiration, Executive Chef Hugh Allen continues to celebrate the unparalleled quality of home-grown produce with thoughtfully considered dishes committed to seasonality and locality.
Vue de monde has been synonymous with Melbourne dining for almost 20 years, continuing to present an exciting and dynamic experience with a progression of flavours and sense of curiosity. The whimsical spirit at the heart of the Vue de monde menu has not been lost throughout the years, with the lighter-handed and more natural approach to cooking being no less infused with theatre.

Doms is a no frills, 3 level pizza wonderland from the crew that bought you Peaches, Cheek, Dexter & Takeaway Pizza.
After so many months of lockdowns, Doms represents everything that owners Sam, Tom and Adam craved - a return to the basics of hospitality. The makeover of Cheek and Peaches was designed to promote a warm sense of nostalgia and indulge the passions of the team... GOOD PIZZA, GOOD WINES, GOOD TIMES.
Level 1 - Pizzeria/Restaurant
Level 2 - Pool Room
Level 3 - Walk-in Outdoor Rooftop Bar
Dining at Doms - warm textures of natural timber, plush royal blue carpet and brass. It's old school and inviting. A menu of slow fermented wood fired sourdough pizza, alongside tasty snacks and a very deep wine list. The perfect venue for that date, that birthday, that catch up. Social, familiar, honest and good. Hot tip: drink Lambrusco, eat the salami!
