Without compromise, in his principles or ingredients, Shannon has fashioned his own innovative way of cooking, matching the efforts of acknowledged masters worldwide.

Reviews and word of mouth have resulted in notoriety achieved largely through Shannon's obsession for classical cuisine, which has seen him reinterpret the cuisine of creators such as Carême, Dugléré and Escoffier and develop an exciting, cutting edge cuisine of his own. Shannon’s dedication and pride established him as one of Australia’s most exciting chefs. 

Shannon's philosophy at Vue de monde is to provide a dining experience that is theatrical and cannot be replicated in the home environment. Shannon achieves this through his dedication to the dining experience as a whole; from the sourcing of rare ingredients, to his uncompromising approach to classical technique and his commitment to the very best of restaurant service including crockery, cutlery and glassware.

Having firmly established Vue de monde, Shannon opened Café Vue and Bistro Vue in 2006, offering additional dining options at the same location and creating the beginnings of the Vue empire…

The second edition of Shannon’s first book My Vue was released in June 2007 and his second book My French Vue was released in November 2007.

In developing international exposure for Vue de monde, Shannon was invited to be the first Australian member of the exclusive Jeunes Restaurateurs D’Europe and has been entrusted with setting up the association in Australia.  Shannon was also invited to be part of the Star Chefs Congress, September 2007 in New York, securing his position of a leading chef on the global stage.
