VUE DE MONDE - RESTAURANT OF THE YEAR & THREE HATS 
‘The attention to detail, from (real) gold teaspoons to hand-cut ice, is as impressive as the food. Theatre abounds – especially from the open kitchen – adding to the spectacle of the charcoal-hued fit out and infinity vista. This could be Shannon Bennett’s masterpiece, redefining fine dining…and his touch is in everything, from the ti-tree ceiling to the kangaroo-hide tables.’
BISTRO VUE - ONE HAT
‘There are nostalgic pleasures to be found in the traditional bistro repertoire – precisely executed dishes like snails presented appropriately in shells with a verdant parsley crust…Hail the cheese trolley, or linger for a chocolate soufflé that is delivered in a copper-bottomed saucepan, with an air of style, romance and tradition: a microcosm of the Bistro Vue experience.’
Australian Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Guide 2012
VUE DE MONDE - THREE STARS, THREE GLASSES‘The view is dazzling, especially at night, when the dark-hued room with its kangaroo hide-covered tables and softly shimmering surfaces fades to backdrop, but Shannon Bennett's smart, skilful and occasionally humorous food effortlessly draws attention away from all the pretty lights.’
BISTRO VUE - ONE STAR, TWO GLASSES‘Following Vue de monde's relocation, Shannon Bennett has expanded his popular bistro into the flagship's former home. The result-still with those aged parquetry tables and scarlet banquettes - retains much of Bistro Vue's famed ultra-romantic, ultra-nostalgic take on Parisian style .’

THE LUI BAR - WINNER BEST RESTAURANT BAR - TWO GLASSES
‘Vue de monde’s bar, on the Rialto Buildings 55th Floor, doesn’t rely on dazzling views alone. Boundary-pushing drinks, snacks and a whisky trolley help make this a destination beyond pre dinner drinks.’
BISTRO VUE - 1 GLASS
‘Bistro Vue’s Bar is a charming lively space with flattering lighting and a good line in Parisian bar drag – a zinc bar top, an enormous Mon Oncle poster, wall lamps and occasional live accordion music.’

GOURMET TRAVELLER FINE WINE PARTNERS
‘A list as impressive as you would expect from one of Australia's finest restaurants. Obviously it is heavily sommelier-influenced with esoteric selections to tempt the adventurous, Rhônes and Burgundies, both red and white, as well as shiraz and Bordeaux.’ |

Bistro Vue – 2 Glasses
‘Even at a glance, it’s obvious this wine list offers a great exploration of regional French wines, but look further as it also includes a super range of other upper-echelon international wines. It’s fine tuned and well versed.’ |
