Cafe Vue

Some of you may have heard of Vue de Monde, a french restaurant that is run by Shannon Bennett in Melbourne.  Actually at the moment it isn't open - he is reopening it at the top of the Rialto building on new year's eve this year.

In the meantime you can still enjoy his food at Cafe Vue on St Kilda Rd and on Bourke St - all details on the website.  G and I grabbed a lunch box from the St Kilda Rd cafe.  We had potato chips with red pepper dip, roast chicken roll, waldorf salad and a rum baba with vanilla custard, for $15 each.

The lunchboxes are packaged beautifully and each day you get what you are given - which is how they do the volume at the price I suppose.

Of course, we had to round out the purchase with some macarons, which we enjoyed later on in the day: yuzu, cassis and caramel. 

The best one was the caramel.  However, I don't think the biscuits were soft enough - or rather they were soft inside but there wasn't enough of the soft stuff!
