Oncore by Clare Smyth at Crown Sydney to Close This Summer

Oncore is the acclaimed British chef Clare Smyth’s only restaurant outside the UK. Located on level 26 of the Crown Sydney, it is famous for its signature seven-course tasting menu and a remarkable potato dish.

Since opening in 2021, Oncore has been a favored destination for special occasions, celebrated for its artistic and memorable dishes, including a silky potato with roe. However, with the lease ending, the restaurant will be closing soon.

“Opening Oncore in Sydney has been an incredible journey,” Smyth said in a statement. “I’m deeply proud of what we’ve achieved and grateful to the team whose talent and dedication brought our vision to life. It’s been a privilege to share our food with Australian diners and be part of Crown Sydney’s world-class offering.”

Oncore was Smyth’s first venue outside the UK, serving as an “encore” to her three-Michelin-starred London restaurant, Core. Smyth explained the choice of location to Broadsheet:

“Whilst geographically Australia is across the world from the UK, the relationship between the two is so close, that it also feels like home to me,” Smyth said. “As I normally travel to Australia once or twice a year for events and to visit friends, it was the ideal location to open my second restaurant and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity when it came my way.”

Despite its closure, Oncore remains a testament to Smyth’s culinary artistry and her connection with Australian diners.

Author’s summary: Clare Smyth’s Oncore at Crown Sydney, known for its exquisite tasting menu, will close this summer after an acclaimed four-year run.
