Melbourne Cellar Door is a fantastic spot for wine and food lovers. They have a large selection of wines to suit every taste, and the food is absolutely delicious. The beer tasting paddles are terrific value and a great way to sample a range of local brews. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and there is plenty to choose from whether you're stopping by for a casual drink or a meal with friends. Everything is well presented and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend Melbourne Cellar Door to anyone looking for great wine, tasty food, and excellent value for money. A wonderful experience that I'll be returning to again!

We had an absolutely incredible evening at Vue de monde. Everything was perfect from start to finish — the food, service and atmosphere were all exceptional. A special thank you to Daniel and the entire team, who went above and beyond to make the night so memorable. I proposed to my girlfriend on the balcony during the evening, and Daniel helped make the moment incredibly special, including arranging for someone to capture photos for us. The whole experience felt thoughtful, personal and genuinely cared for. The food was outstanding, the service was flawless, and the ambience made it the perfect setting for such an important occasion. Thank you to Daniel and everyone at Vue de monde for giving us a night we’ll remember for the rest of our lives. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. 10/10.

Great night out. Had the footy on and the staff were so good. Friendly, chatty, helpful. Food was amazing even if we didn't try all the signatures. Eye fillet was delicious and kids loved that anchovy toast. Bread was so good, and dessert was a winner. Will be back!

It was a very good experience as usual. The steak was cooked to perfection, the mashed potato tasted great, and the cider was exceptional. The environment was like being in an English pub in central Melbourne. We will be back for more of the same.

    What a beautiful experience. I highly recommend sitting at the counter if you are interested in a full experience. Our meals were also given to us by the chefs in the kitchen making it a very connected and engaging experience. In saying that, there were no interruptions to our own personal conversation which made a perfect balance for enjoyment. The food itself was incredible, presentation was immaculate and the theme of nordic pickling woven through each meal with interesting and accurate flavour pairings. Staff were attentive and friendly but never invasive or awkwardly hovering. Hoping to be back.

    Always a great time at Fleet Rooftop Bar. It never disappoints — great atmosphere, awesome city views, good drinks and consistently good service. Definitely one of my favourite spots in Melbourne for a night out. Highly recommend!
