3 Michelin-starred Chef Clare Smyth’s Oncore restaurant has picked up three hats at The Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2023 Awards in Australia.

It added: "Thank you to our dedicated team who have strived for excellence over the past year, our producers and suppliers whose work helps us achieve the highest standards and our guests who have supported us throughout our journey."
In a post on Instagram congratulating Clare’s success, Oncore’s Head Chef Alan Stuart said: "Congratulations @chefclaresmyth only the second chef ever to hold 3 hats @goodfoodau and 3 Michelin stars @michelinguide after the late great Paul Bocuse.
