Shannon Bennett’s Café Vue at Heide Museum of Modern Art offers a unique dining experience: the integration of contemporary art and a pit stop for lunch or dinner. Far removed from his city premises Vue du Monde, Café Vue is nestled amongst Heide’s picturesque Sculpture Garden, offering French inspired dishes that bat way above the average for a gallery cafe.

Café Vue doesn’t limit visitors to simple croque monsieurs, but rather its Menu du Jour and a la Carte include options such as roast David Blackmore wagyu with Yorkshire pudding, seasonal blood orange terrine with Pimms sorbet or individual scotch eggs, salads and fancy sandwiches. If it’s casual dining you are after, pick up Vue’s Lunch Box for $15 - all inclusive of a buttery brioche roll, salad and a macaroons or nougat for desert.

Whether you have a taste for modern art or contemporary food or both, Heide will be sure to satisfy in more ways than one. Look no further than Café Vue to see how Bennett has successfully embraced the artistry in food again.
