Oncore by Clare Smyth

Level 26 of Crown Sydney. Sweeping, vertigo-inducing views of the Harbour Bridge. But the real spectacle is on the plate. Gastronomes are literally booking cross-country flights just to experience Clare Smyth’s haute cuisine before the kitchen calls its final order. Flawless execution from the brigade—plates arriving with immaculate, tweezer-drop precision. Those lucky enough to snag a window table report a sublime collision of texture and taste, pointing specifically to the legendary signature potato and roe, or the masterfully elevated lamb carrot. The sommelier moves through the dining room with effortless charm, pouring exceptional pairings that slice right through rich, glossy sauces. It’s a masterclass in high-end hospitality. Unapologetically premium. Visually staggering. Secure a reservation before this culinary tour de force shuts its doors for good.
