Currently Taylor Swift has become the world’s biggest music star. Her tour The Eras Tour is being a success. She will arrive in Spain on May 30, but these days she is in Australia. As the top artist she is, Swift is staying in one of the most luxurious hotels in Sydney, called Crown Sydney. Inside the resort is the restaurant Oncore by Clare Smyth, of the famous British chef who has three Michelin stars in her restaurant CORE in London.
As reported by Yahoo LifeStyle, the hotel team apparently contacted Clare Smyth to let her know that Taylor was staying at the Crown and that there was a possibility that she might want to dine at their sophisticated restaurant. The chef took a 21-hour flight and landed in the Australian city, where she is still staying these days.
Although Taylor Swift’s visit to the Oncore restaurant has not been confirmed, the British chef made a nod to the rumor by posting stories featuring the restaurant’s head chef, while the American singer’s song Style was playing and adding the following text: “@alan.stuart is excited about @taylorswift’s concert!”.
What do you eat at Oncore?
In addition to incredible views of Sydney Harbour, this Oncore restaurant, like the rest of Clare Smyth’s proposal, is based on a concept of exceptional cuisine that advocates quality and sustainable ingredients, in addition to opting for proximity. It is the only restaurant that the British woman owns outside the United Kingdom.
The kitchen team is led by chef Alan Stuart, a New Zealander who has worked at prestigious restaurants such as Gordon Ramsay’s Eleven Madison Park. In addition to the à la carte menu, the restaurant offers a tasting menu featuring a selection of classic Core dishes, including the London restaurant’s unexpected but celebrated signature item, ‘Potato and Roe’, which pays homage to Smyth’s farming childhood in Northern Ireland.
The Oncore cellar also stands out, with 800 references and more than 3,000 bottles: from wines from Australia to other gems from Bordeaux, Burgundy and the rest of the world.
