As a leading chef on the global stage, Shannon Bennett has been bringing superlative French cuisine to Melbourne diners through Vue de monde, since 2000.

After training with some of Europe’s most accomplished master chefs – Albert Roux, John Burton-Race and Marco Pierre White, as well as the Grand Hyatt Melbourne’s Roger Lienhard - he fashioned his own innovative way of cooking, matching the efforts of acknowledged masters worldwide.

Shannon’s philosophy at Vue de monde is to focus not only on culinary excellence, but on the experience as a whole, from sourcing rare ingredients to providing the finest in restaurant service.

This approach has seen Vue de monde awarded Restaurant of the Year by the 2007 Age Good Food Guide and the Australian Gourmet Traveller in 2006 and 2007, as well as Restaurant of the Year and Fine Dining Restaurant of the Year in the 2005 and 2007. Vue de monde has recently been awarded the 2009 Restaurant and Catering Award for Excellence.

Shannon’s international standing was secured when he was invited to be the first Australian member of the exclusive Jeunes Restaurateurs D’Europe, an esteemed organisation of young chefs in Europe. He was also invited to be part of the prestigious 2007 Star Chefs’ Congress in New York.

Shannon Bennett was appointed Ambassador for Miele Australia and New Zealand in 2008. It is a complementary partnership as both Miele and Shannon are committed to excellence.

Miele has a reputation for not just meeting the expectations of its customers but exceeding them, in much the same way Shannon does in his restaurant. 

As Shannon says: “A great meal is best achieved through the combination of excellent ingredients and quality equipment – the synergy with Miele is a very natural one for me.”
