About Oncore by Clare Smyth

Oncore could have coasted on Clare Smyth's London reputation and the Crown Sydney view, but the kitchen is more disciplined than that. The restaurant brings Core signatures to Australia while letting local seafood, dairy, and vegetables reshape the menu around the harbour. Potato and Roe still anchors the experience, but the best Sydney-specific courses use cleaner lines and brighter produce. It is hotel fine dining with a serious chef's fingerprint, not a licensed replica.
