About Epicurean Sydney

Perched on Level 5 of Crown Sydney, Epicurean centers on an expansive, non-stop spread of chilled seafood overlooking the water. Regulars plan their sittings well in advance for the iced stations alone—heaping tiers of freshly shucked oysters, sweet king crab legs, sliced sashimi, and halved lobster tails. Open kitchens keep pace with crisp Peking duck and Singaporean chili crab against wide views of the Barangaroo harbour line. Floor staff quietly clear away discarded shells between trips, leaving just enough room for house gelato and delicate pastries at the dessert counter.

  • Unrivaled Seafood: Chilled displays constantly stocked with freshly shucked oysters, king crab legs, lobster tails, and fresh sashimi.
  • Global Live Stations: Live kitchen counters dish up roast Peking duck, crispy pork belly, and rich Singaporean chili crab.
  • Harbour Vistas: Elevated Level 5 dining room frames wide vistas over the Barangaroo waterfront and Sydney Harbour Bridge.
  • Pastry & Gelato Counter: A dedicated spread of delicate cakes, pastries, chocolates, and house-churned gelato.

  • Attentive, Unobtrusive Hospitality

    Floor staff continually clear crab shells, swap tableware, and ensure multi-course dining flows smoothly without interrupting your feast.

    So quick to remove dirty plates and bowls of crab shells (of course replacing it with a new one immediately).

  • Iconic Harbour and Landmark Vistas

    Perched high above Barangaroo, the dining room pairs indulgent all-you-can-eat dining with expansive vistas across Sydney Harbour and city icons.
