Staying at crown towers, we got to try epicurean for a breakfast & dinner service. Both were delicious! Its worth the extra $$ over Atrium.
I had a friends birthday lunch at Epicurean. The best description I can give it is Sizzler rolled in glitter. It looks amazing but I felt that all the food just lacked flavour.
We came for the lunch buffet not only for father’s day but also for nephews first birthday. We had to book a week or so out because it was quite busy.They had quite a large selection of food and more than normal lunch like extra meats at the carvery (The prices were higher for the day as well though). There were three main areas, the salad and cold cuts, the hot dishes and the dessert island.There were quite a lot of items at the entree area which were nice like the oysters and beef with truffle mayonnaise. There was also a large selection of cheeses and bread.The hot food also had a lot of variety with a carvery, European, Indian and Chinese stations, each with their own unique foods. ! personally preferred the carvery with the succulent lamb and crispy pork. The desserts were all interesting and tasty. There was a selection of single served desserts as well as larger portions in which people can serve themselves. I thought the most interesting part was the three chocolate fountain. Nephew also got a birthday cake.Be aware that coffee and tea is not part of the meal and you get charged for it.A really fancy place with good service, but it is quite pricey so more of a celebratory restaurant.
Dined here after discovering there was a truffle event for the 24th July and 31st July. We managed to book for a later seating for 31st July 8.30pm after the times for 24th were fully booked. We arrived on time and was advised that the buffet closed at 9.30pm which meant we only had an hour to get food. I would be nice if they could extend these hours so that we didnt feel like we were rushing to eat.Pretty impressed with the truffle dishes. The Truffle mashed potato was delicious. We also had truffle mushroom risotto, truffle ravioli with parmesan, edamame beans with truffle, truffle pork sausage with truffle jus, toast vegetables with truffle, Truffle king crab soup, mushroom and truffle soup with croutons, truffle naan with lamb roganjosh and fresh shave truffle on top. We missed out on the truffle scallops which was a tad disappointing. The truffle naan and lamb roganjosh was really good! The curry had a nice kick to it which made it really good! The Truffle king crab soup was on the saltier side, but the mushroom truffle soup with crotons was delicious! We tried some of the truffle desserts, not so much of a big fan with those. The mango sorbet was refreshing though. Overall a pretty decent meal and experience.
Ambience: Brightly lit, spacious, layout well set out, posh looking table and chairsFood: Large variety of seafood, Japanese, Indian, Chinese, Western, meats, salad, bread and desserts. It was near Christmas so they had Christmas themed food in addition to the usual selection. My favourite was the sushi and sashimi, meats were okay, Indian curries were good, seafood was fresh, desserts looked attractive but didnt appeal much to me as I was too full by then. Loved the mango sorbet which was a refreshing change from all the greasy food. The food at the buffet was refilled constantly so the food was always hot and fresh.Service: we were first brought in by a staff who asked if we wanted to be introduced to the buffet or to explore on our own. Water was refilled and plates were cleared promptly. Overall: paid $85 on a weekday night. Great selection of quality food although comes with a premium price tag. Nice place to celebrate a special occasion. Other buffets in Perth are definitely not on the same level as this place.
As far as buffets go, the epicurean at the Crown is pretty hard to beat (in Perth anyway). From the gorgeous, spacious decor when you walk in, to the fairly extensive range of foods to try, there is definitely something for everyone here. Personal favourites are the fresh sashimi & sushi selection, prawns and oysters. Asian & Indian dishes were pretty standard, not a big fan of the roast meats (dry), and the dessert bar looked wonderful but honestly a lot of the desserts tasted very similar to each other or were a bit ordinary. Only worth the $95 if you can truly eat your fill, still worth checking out if you havent been here yet.
Omg!! This place is amazing!! The quality of food and selection was tops. The cold seafood was great with fresh display of oysters, prawns and mud crabs. Great selection of sushi and sashimi. Hot dishes were delicious, especially the roasts. And last but not least you will not be disappointed with the selection of desserts. Just try the mini cheesecakes and ice creams! Super delicious and bursting with flavours
