Oncore, Clare Smyth’s Antipodean debut, was years in the making. There were bushfires, floods and a global pandemic keeping Smyth from establishing her much-hyped follow-up to Notting Hill’s Core. But here it is: perched up high on the 26th floor of Barangaroo’s Crown Casino complex, Smyth’s signature comfortable-yet-opulent interiors this time backdropped by one of the world’s most audacious views.

The first and only British female chef to hold three Michelin stars in the UK, Clare Smyth opened her first international restaurant, Oncore by Clare Smyth, overlooking Sydney harbour from level 26 at Crown Sydney. Drawing inspiration from the harbour and its surrounds, the menu emphasises sustainable food and pays homage to both Smyth's childhood in Northern Ireland and her London restaurant, Core. Renowned for a combination of sophisticated cooking with the simplicity of style, you'll find exciting and surprising dishes on the menu, including the signature 'Potato and Roe'.

Located at the top of the gleaming  Crown Towers hotel with dramatic views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Oncore by Clare Smyth could be the culinary ride of your life. Smyth was the first British woman to be awarded three Michelin stars and this expert chef knows how to prepare a decadent degustation. Light dishes like smoked duck wing, and cheese choux pastry begin a meal which culminates in braised lamb with sheep’s milk yoghurt followed by Spring Ridge venison with haggis and macadamia.

They say the eyes eat first, and at Oncore by Clare Smyth, they're eating their fruit. The delicate Core Apple is a take on the original version served at Smyth's three Michelin-Star London restaurant, with various textures of apple perfection presented as a life-like morsel. You can try this Sydney dessert at the end of Oncore's $340pp seven-course tastings menu, or book a seat in the bar to order it a la carte with a stunning cocktail to suit.

Address: Crown Sydney, Level 26/1 Barangaroo Ave, Barangaroo. Clare Smyth is the first British-born woman to hold three Michelin stars—and missing the same award scheme here, Smyth still brings her world-class pedigree to Barangaroo, her sole venture outside of the UK. Served by the finest staff, pouring the finest wines, and serving the finest locally-sourced food, Oncore is an experience like no other.

Smyth and her team champion exceptional dining using sustainable ingredients. Helmed by Three Michelin-starred British chef Clare Smyth, Oncore is the successor to the esteemed London fine dining restaurant Core. Sitting pretty at 26 levels high in Crown Towers, diners enjoy sweeping 180-degree views of Sydney Harbour and unparalleled fine dining service.

It’s not just a place to eat; it's where jazz music is as cool as the decor, and every seat shows off an amazing view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Why it's great: It's the perfect mix. Whether you're in love and looking for a romantic spot, hanging out with friends for a fun night, or anything in between, this is the place.

Celebrated Irish chef Clare Smyth brings to Sydney the same farm-to-plate concept that earned her London restaurant three Michelin stars. Expect signature and locally inspired dishes, backed up a 3000-bottle wine list and spectacular harbour views from atop Crown Tower.

The Seasons menu at Clare Smyth’s fine-diner at the top of Crown Sydney won’t leave you with much change under $400. But the bar menu offers a way to sample her cooking with a little less commitment, for both your wallet and your time.

But underpinning this textbook glamour is an infusion of cutting-edge tech. Wherever possible, the Crown hoteliers have worked in clever conveniences that reveal a deep understanding of the capricious needs of their clientele.
