As far as buffets go, the epicurean at the Crown is pretty hard to beat (in Perth anyway). From the up-market, uber-stylish 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. Sunday high tea here is also another, more economical option if you’re looking for something a bit different, with a glass of champagne included and a decent selection of lighter finger savoury & sweet food (all buffet of course). The lining up is a bit of a downside be warned, it gets extremely packed.
Lovely buffet. Plenty of food for everyone. It definitely has alot on offer for those that eat seafood. There is still a good variety for land meat lovers but limited vegetarian options. Very clean and lovely atmosphere. Staff were friendly and helpful. We were seated outside and the lighting was very dim there which is pretty much my only fault. Tasty desserts too. Overall worth a visit, just keep in mind it isn't a cheap buffet but a very rememberable experience all round.
Epicurean needs to be on everyone’s bucket list!
Enough said. Go out there people and see what it is to live the life of luxury!WOW
The food quality in this place is amazing. The variety is good but not excessive. The different cuisine and flavours were on point. Service is good and polite.
Very good place to eat wide variety of foods best buffet hands down, good selection of gluten free food (my wife) and the chef takes there time to take you round.
Epicurean is amazing!
Best Indian curries I have had in perth, specially the tandoori potatos. The truffle mash is also one of my favorites but then everything is delicious and you can tell it has been made with the best ingredients.
Yes it is expensive but I will rather not eat at some of the restaurants where you get so disappointed in the food and save the money and go to Epicurean every once in a while.
Wowza! The seafood here is the freshest you'll find in the whole of perth, the venue has outdone itself reallt, quite spectacular in my opinion. The dessert bar makes me feel like I'm in real life willy wonka land! I've been here twice and both times i walked out full all the way up to my oesphagus and with pure happiness in my heart. Hands down my favorite place in Perth.
We booked a reservation for 7. The restaurant is very child friendly and maintains a lovely ambiance. Food was really fresh. My cousin called ahead and asked if they could include some bush foods in the buffet and that the seafood be clean as like straight from our waters and it was the best seafood I’ve had at a restaurant and the barramundi was just like at home off the coals. I was really pleased with the effort they went to and had a nice birthday meal.
Was good .lots of people but quick . thought i was in Hong kong .great views no free coffees or tea. Bought an omega seasmaster so happy .$120 is ok for burswood

This is actually a tough review. Why? Because there are so many good things to say, but somewhere lurking inside, I was a little disappointed.
The staff were exceptional. Friendly, helpful, courteous,... Everything we like, so thanks guys.
The ambiance was welcoming. Even at it's busiest, we didn't feel crowded, nor did we have to shout to have a conversation.
The selection of food was plentiful as was the volume. At no time did I see a dish get even close to empty before it was replenished. The seafood was definitely the winner for me, always is. The presentation of the food was also pleasing.
The price was as you would expect for eating at the Crown. Might have been nice to have a glass of wine or a coffee in the price, but definitely not a deal breaker.
Overall, thanks to all for a great presentation.
...still don't know what it was!!!🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
Everything about buffet lunch on a Sunday was fantastic …. The food, the service, the presentation - all of it was perfect. Definitely do not eat breakfast on the day you go to Epicurean! Most definitely the fresh seafood and salad bars were the highlight. It’s a fantastic place for large groups of people! It’s pricey ($115 per person) but worth it !!
It’s always nice here however, the prawns were very wet and it was clear they had either been frozen or sitting on ice for so long that the ice had melted and made a bath for them. The Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni was yummy however the edges of it were a bit dry and tough possibly due to being sat out in the open air for a while.
The Truffle Mash Potato was magnificent as always as well as the Butter Chicken. Lovely to see that they continue to serve these favourite dishes of mine, seeming unchanged over the years. The vast variety of cultural cuisine is wonderful as I could enjoy some Fried Rice and Sushi then have a plate full of Roast Meats and Curry.
The staff are always lovely here and are very quick to clear away empty plates, top up your water, serve drinks and even provide a bowl for the seafood shells.
Lastly, the dessert was delicious and abundant in variety. My favourite will always be the Chocolate Pudding with a scoop of Whipped Cream. I tried the Mini Cheesecakes and Chocolate Mousse and I think the fruitiness of the Cheesecakes helped to cancel out the sweetness of the Mousse as it was very rich. The Raspberry and Lime Cake was super tasty with a strong lime taste that still had a touch of sourness to it.
Unfortunately I was so full that I didn’t have time to try the Strawberry Shortcake or the variety of Profiteroles. For those who like a more simple dessert they have a variety of small tubs of ice cream which is great to satisfy a small sweet tooth.
While the price is up there, it is nice to celebrate a special occasion here. With family being employed by Crown, the staff discount or crown rewards are definitely worth taking advantage of especially to enjoy a 1 hour and 45 minute meal here as each session is timed. The time may initially seem short but it is plenty for a big meal, break, then big dessert, as well as time for chit chat.

Need I say more! We work hard and live once....so life is to be enjoyed. The reward was a purely decadent high tea here in a classy ambiance. Such a great range of top quality dishes and opulent all the way. Definitely one of those moments to remember.
Amazing lunch for my birthday celebration. Great for people the like cold food such as oysters, sashimi, salads, prawns ect. Although the oysters could have been more fresh. Not as good hot food options. Deserts are amazing. The surprise birthday cake from the chef was nice! Cocktails are amazing.
Havent had buffet for a long time. First time here and wow so many fooooooood choices! Great quality meat, fresh seafood, awesome dessert! Was so full after the meal, happy tummy!
