Top International Cuisines: Taste the World in Every Bite

Those living in modern society are fortunate for many reasons. Few as delicious as our access to international cuisine.  

Variety. Flavour. Fusions. It’s all there, and our taste buds get to benefit from this global celebration of food, with its cultural appreciation and sensory exploration baked into every bite.  

There’s no truer representation of the smorgasbord of international cuisines on offer than Crown Sydney’s Epicurean. Known for its buffet-style dining and culinary theatre, this is one restaurant where you can take a bite out of the world – with one of the best views in Sydney.  

With nine live kitchens, Epicurean promises a world tour through taste. Fresh and unique flavours are always in focus here, with rotating dishes based on seasonality and cultural celebrations keeping things exciting throughout the year.  

You’ll find a mix of popular international cuisines, indulgent desserts and different dishes that invite you and your taste buds to stamp your culinary passport as you explore the new and the exotic.  

Japanese 

Not just sushi, but sushi rolled to order. Not just Japanese recipes, but Japanese cooking precision and artistry.  

Epicurean’s international cuisine wouldn’t be complete without a Japanese kitchen, complete with a sushi and sashimi bar, with endless fresh seafood and seasonal bites. This is where you’ll find all your favourites, as well as a variety of lesser-known traditional Japanese food that showcases the cuisine’s diversity – and delectability.  

Chinese  

Dumplings. Dim sum. Peking duck. Wok goodness. It’s enough to make your mouth water, and more than enough to fill your plate before you even look at any of the other kitchens.  

Chinese cuisine comes with a depth of flavour that sets it apart. There’s tradition embedded in every dish, and a balance of taste that pairs sweet with sour, spicy with subtle, and salty with rich.  

Make a beeline to this station for favoured delicacies such as hand-folded dumplings, char siu, wontons, fried rice, and sweet and sour pork. It’s one of the top international cuisines for not just one reason, but many, and they’re all to be found at the buffet at Epicurean.  

Indian  

Follow your nose – there are few cuisines that draw you in by aroma alone like Indian. With its unique blend of warming spices and flavours, Indian dishes somehow manage to taste like far-flung destinations and home all at once.  

Epicurean serves up a range of authentic Indian dishes, from tandoori lamb to dhal and butter chicken. There are both vegetarian and non-vegetarian varieties, and all shine with the deep flavours and aromas of hand-ground spices and traditional tandoor cooking techniques.  

Is it the best international cuisine? Let your taste buds decide at Crown Sydney.  

Italian  

Italian has become so synonymous with comfort food that it’s enjoyed all over the world. This international cuisine is famous for its pastas, pizzas, and celebration of colour and flavours.  

From classic bites and handmade pasta to antipasti, wood-fired dishes, and regional specialties, Epicurean has it all. You’ll find an array of Italian flavours served with modern presentation techniques, making this kitchen a must-visit during your meal at Crown Sydney.  

Seafood 

Fresh seafood plays a starring role in many global cuisines, from our very own Australian rock oysters to Japanese sashimi.  

That’s why Epicurean is one of the best seafood restaurants in Sydney. It pulls together the very best international seafood traditions, serving it all in beautiful fashion at the cold seafood bar.

These international seafood dishes use local, seasonal ingredients to showcase the best of what’s on offer – and the best of what our world-class chefs can do.
