Vue de Mode






This is a fancy french restaurant in little collins street, city. My husband took me there for my early Birthday celebration on last wednesday, 28th. The weekend was booked out and harder to find parking in the city.

IT has NO menu but 5 to 10 course meal , unspecified and each course is a surprise gourmet dish. I had it tailored because I was coming to 7.5 mths pregnant!

The first course came with a rock! It is some cold peanutly thing which I did not really fancy though!

The french really do set out to impress right! The following dishes came out with like bigger plates and fancier plating but not much on the BIG plate!

There was a lot of butter in the sauce to keep you FULL!

There was weird salads, a small piece of very rawly cooked kangaroo for my partner, Waygu steaks for both of us, tiny baby lobsters and 2 types of desserts! One came in an 6 eggs carton, some kinda mousse, which I hardly finished , 2 had liquor in it!

Patrick had a wine taster, the waiter tailor each meal with a different wine, because each dish was a mystery. All and all, we had the most wonderful memorable time of 2010.

The funniest part was getting to know our posted waiter, who looks like the comedian from Little Britain. The one that played Ann and the receptionist who kept saying " computer says No"?

We were giggling like two young lovebirds!

It took us 2 hours to finish the course and the bill was quite extravagant but worth every penny!

Service is impeccable! They fold my napkin 3 times when I went to the ladies and always pull my chair! Helped me down the stairs and I can not say how hard it is to find such services these days anywhere else?

We did forgot to tip our "ann" waiter though!

That would be a lovely ending to our little Fine dining experience!
