Age Good Food Guide 2010 Score: 14.5/20

Gourmet Traveller 2010 Australian Restaurant Guide "You may wonder if the overt faux-French touches - rustic distressed surfaces, exposed timber and accordeoniste - are not tongue-incheek, but there's no doubting Bistro Vue is sincere when it comes to turning out authentic versions of Parisian bistro classics"

Herald Sun 10-10-09 "Shannon Bennett gives traditional bistro cooking a 21st-century spin: poached eggs arrive in an egg carton with wild mushroom nuree"

Age Good Food Guide 2009

Gourmet Traveller 2009 Australian Restaurant Guide "Step off a Melbourne street and into a wormhole that transports you to a 50s Parisian bistro with heavily timbered ceilings, red banquettes and parquetry floors. All that's missing is the accordionist"

Herald Sun 10-06-08 Score: *** "Shannon Bennett's faux 19th-century dining room is straight from a Balzac novel, but many dishes give traditional bistro cooking a 21st-century spin"

Age Good Food Guide 2008 Score: 14/20

Gourmet Traveller 2008 Australian Restaurant Guide "Shannon Bennett is a chef in a hurry. No sooner was his high-end restaurant firing than plans began for a cafe and, now, a bistro"

Herald Sun Bob Hart, 17-02-07 "SUPERCHEF Shannon Bennett has already entranced the nation's well-heeled with his heavily patronised and excellent Vue de Monde. And now he is on course to mesmerise the rest of us with an enchanting, affordable French bistro next door to his celebrated fine diner. Bistro Vue is about as close to Vue de Monde as decency will permit, but also worlds away. For in contrast to the stark modernity of its big brother, this place is all weathered opulence with cosy hints of the bohemian end of the Belle Epoque."
