Oncore by Clare Smyth

Sydney, Australia

A confident entry into Sydney’s vibrant restaurant scene from a decorated British chef who earned her stripes under Gordan Ramsay. Voted The World’s Best Female Chef in 2018, Clare Smyth has showcased raw talent and tenacity in her elegantly innovative take on haute cuisine. Here, in a light-filled, nature-forward dining room on the 26th floor of the Crown building – with epic Sydney Harbour views to match – her vision is expertly executed by chef Alan Stuart. The seven-course menu’s a tour de force that’s as much a reflection of Smyth’s culinary lexicon as it is of Australian produce and border-crossing technique. Working somewhat as an extension of the namesake London restaurant, her fingerprint is on everything (literally, too, it’s embossed in the tableware). Dishes like her iconic Potato and Roe are given an Aussie slant using potatoes – cooked low and slow for 12 hours in kombu butter – from a family farm in the Southern Highlands. Beef and Oyster sees Sydney Rock Oysters join tender Blackmore wagyu. Ex
