Perched on the 26th floor of the Crown Sydney, Oncore by Clare Smyth is a culinary gem that redefines fine dining in Barangaroo. With sweeping views of Sydney Harbour, this Michelin-starred restaurant invites guests to indulge in a sensory journey that celebrates the essence of Australian cuisine. The moment you step inside, the elegant decor and warm ambiance set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience, where every detail is meticulously crafted to delight the senses.

At Oncore, the menu is a celebration of local produce and seasonal ingredients, expertly curated by Chef Clare Smyth. Two standout dishes that exemplify this philosophy are the "Marron with Sea Lettuce and Lemon Verbena" and the "Wagyu Beef with Charred Onion and Black Garlic." The marron, a delicacy from the waters of Western Australia, is tender and succulent, beautifully complemented by the briny notes of sea lettuce and the refreshing hint of lemon verbena. Meanwhile, the wagyu beef, known for its rich marbling, is cooked to perfection, delivering an explosion of flavor with every bite.

The "Apple 3" cocktail, a refreshing blend of apple, gin, and a hint of spice, is a must-try, perfectly balancing sweetness and acidity.

The dessert menu features a stunning "Chocolate and Hazelnut" creation, which is as visually appealing as it is delicious, showcasing the artistry of the pastry team.

Located at Level 26 of Crown Sydney, Oncore offers breathtaking views of the iconic Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. After your meal, take a leisurely stroll along Barangaroo Reserve, a beautifully landscaped waterfront park that showcases native Australian flora.

We had an incredible dining experience at Oncore at The Crown, made even more special by the outstanding service from Diego, Megan, and Sergio. When I arrived, I wasn’t feeling well due to my pregnancy and felt like I was going to faint. The team immediately sprang into action, bringing me bread to help me feel better and checking on me throughout the evening with such genuine care and kindness. Their attentiveness made all the difference, and I’m so grateful.

Beyond the exceptional service, the meal was absolutely amazing—every dish was perfectly executed and bursting with flavour. The attention to detail in both the food and the overall experience truly set Oncore apart.

Thank you again to Diego, Megan, Sergio, and the entire team for making our night so memorable. We can’t wait to return!

I was there for my birthday drinks and for dessert and their Apple 3 cocktail was absolutely fabulous!

We had our anniversary meal at Oncore this afternoon and loved it! I loved the way that it was a real celebration of Australian food, rather than a great Sydney restaurant trying to recreate great French or Asian cuisine. Each course was thoughtful and incredibly well presented. I found the explanations of each course difficult to hear sometimes, and we had to ask the wait staff to repeat themselves a few times. We also decided to pair the meal with a wine pairing, and loved this also, although I may have been nice to have each course paired with a great Aussie wine to match the food that was being presented. We visit Sydney a couple of times each year, and this has been by far the best culinary experience we’ve had here!

I had an incredible experience at this bar and restaurant. The staff (Sergio, Diego & Alex) went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, accommodating our every need with genuine care and professionalism. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly.

The service was outstanding—attentive yet unobtrusive. The team was knowledgeable about the menu, offering excellent recommendations, and ensuring our glasses were never empty.

The atmosphere was inviting, and the view was exceptional making it a great spot for both casual outing and a special occasion. This place truly sets the bar high for exceptional hospitality. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing experience in Oncore bar,  the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had an exceptional experience in every sense of the word. The service was flawless, from the recommendations for our cocktails, to the bar snacks we enjoyed, to the small stool placed next to me for my bag, pleasant banter we enjoyed with the team. It was a memorable experience, when a table became available on the window we were invited to move to it. Sergio was great at his craft making the cocktails and came to speak with us, Alex was attentive to our needs.
Our absolute highlight was meeting Diego! What a great asset, he was proactive in securing us a table at Oncore Bar and looked after us so well, asking for feedback on how he could improve (literally could not think of a single thing). Our expectations were exceeded and we would love to visit again
