Review Epicurean - Perth

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.

Went for the Truffle promotion event. You have to really like Truffle to spend that much money. Service was great. Food was just enough to get over the line for me. Not worth the price even though its a Truffle event. Overall good but i expected a better quality Truffle. So a little bit disappointed. Still can go for the normal buffee i guess.

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.

I had extremely high expectations walking in today. Having heard over and over that thr Epicurean was next level dining.... the food was meant to be out of this world. It goes without saying that I was disappointed and did not get the "out of the world" experience I was hoping for. YES the food was nice, but personally having eaten at the Atrium multiple times, the Atrium is better. Overall I left feeling full, I did enjoy my meal but for the cost I would opt for the Atrium over the Epicurean.

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!

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.

Never had food poisoning at a restaurant before so this was a first, expected far better from crown, if your going to have a reputation of being refined maybe cook your burgers and keep chicken in refrigerated area. Desserts were sub par and tasted like they were prepared the week before and we were charged $20 for 1 bottle of sparking water. Very disappointing.

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!<br/>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.

My partner and I went to the Epicurean with his family last Friday, early session. What a meal with a good variety of food and dessert. Seafood and sushi/sashimi, breads, roast meats (lamb, beef, pork), chicken, barramundi, any amount of salads and cooked veggies, truffle mash (which was yum), make your own peking duck pancakes and so much more. Desserts galore which you gobble down even though you have had your fill.

Epicurean is amazing!<br/>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.<br/>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.

FOOD // For breakfast, the diversity of food at this buffet was moderate given the price. You can definitely eat your fair share of delights between the bakery, western, asian and Mediterranean selections. Many were magnetised to the chocolate fondue fountain. Tea and coffee was included and the dim sum spread was delicious. AMBIENCE // Tables were well spaced so you didn't feel you were constantly disturbing your neighbours when you went up for plate #X.

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

Situated in Crown Towers, guests can enjoy an outstanding array of international cuisine at Epicurean, with a series of different culinary stations, each offering a distinct and unique dining experience. The stylish interiors by RED Design feature a spacious outdoor dining area that opens out onto the resort pool. Diners can choose from seafood, sushi and salads or indulge in the Asian dim sum and noodles. Epicurean also boasts a Western hot food station, a tandoori oven for authentic flavours of India and a dessert station featuring an amazing chocolate fountain.

3.5/5 rating <br/><br/>Epicurean offers an international buffet in an elegant indoor setting. <br/><br/>Whilst there is a variety of food available, as usual with most buffets, the dishes lack a wow factor. <br/><br/>The sushi and sashimi selection was fresh and tasty. Generous portions of poached crabs, prawns and other seafood items. <br/><br/>The salads on offer included potato, roast pumpkin, tabbouleh, roast lamb and a make it yourself station with a range of dressings. <br/><br/>For mains, the curries were lacking depth in flavor, the cheese ravioli was pasty and the noodles were on the fishy side. <br/><br/>Of the desserts, the Malva and chocolate puddings with accompanying sauces were good. There was a range of sweets including ice cream, assorted profiteroles and cheesecakes, a chocolate fountain, cupcakes and fresh fruit. Once again, nothing stood out. <br/><br/>Service was prompt, our waitress was extremely attentive and accommodating despite being busy. Our plates were cleared away promptly and the buffet was regularly cleaned and replenished. <br/>

The buffet is pricey for a whopping $95 (P.S soft drinks or coffee/tea are not included). I would definitely recommend going on a weeknight or Friday/ Saturday lunch if you can. It is $75/ $59 respectively.<br/> <br/>Situated in Crown Towers, people can enjoy an exceptional range of international cuisine at Epicurean, with different stations for each cuisine/ type of food. The buffet is comprehensive with a lot of cuisines on offer like Asian, Indian, Continental, Roasts with a huge selection of Antipasto, Breads, salads, Cheeses, Sushi, Asian and Indian food, Roasts, Western food.<br/> <br/>The dessert bar / display is surely to die for and just love the Chocolate fountain on display.<br/> <br/>The food was fresh, delicious and beautifully presented.<br/> <br/>The service is very professional, friendly, not intrusive but always attentive.<br/> <br/>Personally I do not think the buffet is worth $95 ++ (depends on your appetite) but yes it is definitely value for money and would highly recommend for weekday lunch and for Saturday lunch.

Nice ambience. Food are generally delicious but I will expect more variety. Also, expecting free flow of coffee and tea for the price tag. And no sashimi!! <br/>Logistically it’s not very easy to find the place given that sign is no where to be seen until we asked and finally saw the signs (right in front of the restaurant).

Seafood selection was great and prawns were incredibly fresh. Roast meats were very tasty with good selection of condiments. Vegetarian ravioli was very good and so was the black pepper crab. Loved the spread from salad bar all the way to desert. Yuzu miso dressing was simply divine when paired with their wide sashimi range. Great food!

So worth to every dollar we paid!<br/>Went to weekday lunch time without booking luckily after 10 min wait we got a table.<br/>All foods are beautifully cooked and nice presentation. Very enjoyable with the tongue and the eyes.<br/>We will go there again.

Have been to epicurean 3 times, and it actually never disappoints, the desserts are my favourite there, and I always come out so full and satisfied, would recommend for a first date and even a family birthday dinner, would always be returning there.

We booked the buffet lunch for our family Christmas,$80pp food, drinks additional. The restaurant is located in the new Crown restaurant so as you'd expect the decor is fresh and oppulent with comfy chairs and very spacious.<br/>The buffet was comprehensive with moist cuisines covered - middle eastern, Asian, fresh seafood, traditional roast meats, lots of salads, a cheese and charcuterie selection and a huge dessert buffet.<br/>The food was all fresh and high quality.<br/><br/>The service was a bit of a let down. I feel they were understaffed as plates weren't cleared away very often and we had to flag someone down whenever we wanted more drinks or even water.<br/>We ended up moving stacks of dirty dishes to the service stations to clear room.<br/><br/>We ordered a bottle of champagne ($150 was the cheapest on the menu) and had to ask 3 times to get some ice in the bucket they gave us.<br/>We arrived at 12pm on the dot but felt that the strict 2 hour lunch window was too short to be able to relax and enjoy lunch properly. I'm sure the people who didn't arrive smack on time felt very rushed.<br/><br/>The service and the small window for eating really let this experience down. My score is 3.5 which zomato don't facilitate. Better service would have easily given this review a 4

Best buffet in Perth hands down! Everything was amazing and such high quality which I find some buffets lack. Huge variety and everything I had was delicious.

Ambience: Brightly lit, spacious, layout well set out, posh looking table and chairs<br/><br/>Food: 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 didn’t 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.<br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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.

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

Staying at crown towers, we got to try epicurean for a breakfast & dinner service. Both were delicious! It’s worth the extra $$ over Atrium.

First time going for lunch and i was very impressed. I tried a little bit of everything and in my opinion if i came back next time, i would probably skip out on the salads, roast meats (they were dry) and some of the desserts and fill up more on the asian and indian cuisines offered as they were a lot more flavourful. Price for lunch was ok or fair. I would come back again.<br/>

We were looking forward to have a great night out at Epicurean and was extremely happy to have booked a seating at 7.15pm on Wednesday night (05-Sep-2018). Our decision to visit Epicurean was driven purely by friend’s recommendation and family and we have never been to Epicurean before. <br/><br/>To our disappointment we were seated in the middle of the hallway next to a queue for the hot roast selection corner. <br/><br/>Our evening continued to deteriorate with the lemon lime bitter (too much bitter in the drink - no balance in the drink whatsoever) that we have ordered. My seat was bumped a couple of times during the evening by passerby’s and my cutlery nearly dropped to the floor, as there were no table coverings, if I had not been quick enough to catch my cutlery in time. Not quite the fine dining experience that I had in mind! <br/><br/>I am a frequent flyer to Europe and Central Asia, therefore visiting lounges is my routine. Unfortunately, I have uncovered a strong resemblance with the quality of the food served at Epicurean with the lounge food. I have made a complaint to one of the staff, she has returned to me by confirming that our complaint has been escalated to the floor manager, however I had this feeling that my complaint was simply brushed off. The food was tasteless; had MSG; and not fresh! We had a foul after taste as we walked out of the restaurant.<br/><br/>Over the next 3 days, my wife had food poisoning symptoms and was bed ridden before full recovery. My family and I was grossly disappointed with our first and regrettably last visit to Epicurean.<br/><br/>

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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Be aware that coffee and tea is not part of the meal and you get charged for it.<br/><br/>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 didn’t feel like we were rushing to eat.<br/><br/>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! <br/><br/>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.

Well, ive been really wanting to try out this restaurant but was going to Atrium instead becaue of cost, until today<br/>Restaurant entrance is a bit hard to find with minimal signage.<br/>Wheelchair access was no problem and staff were friendly , helpful and quite easy to get attention from.<br/>The food choices were almost endless and i tried alot of dishes.<br/>Most dishes were delicious but the odd one missed the mark.<br/>Only disappointing thing is that almost all deserts included fruit, which i cant eat.

The staff was very welcoming, we made a booking and excellent choice to where we were seated. The food was good, there wasn’t that much to choose from compared to Atrium which had all different cultures of food to choose from. The dessert was amazing.

Absolutely bloody superb! What a spread! The food choice is amazing but the quality of the food is top notch! Lunch is $55 a head and so very worth it. The Oysters are to die for and the Indian selection is just so delicious. This is such a brilliant value for money place to eat surrounded by all the luxuries of the Crown complex. The staff are fast and friendly and the desert options are worth saving some room for. Will make sure we go here again - superb!

I love coming to this place for any meal of the day. Very good quality food and service. Breakfast is great value if you can eat a lot of it because proper coffee is included. Love the lunch and dinner options as well. I usually come during the week for lunch as it’s cheaper. But drinks aren’t included with lunch and dinner. Only go here if you are prepared to eat as you won’t get your money’s worth otherwise. Atmosphere is very nice. Will definitely be back!

Great breakfast buffet style at Epicurean. The choice is almost limitless, from seafood to all kinds of sweets, for every taste.  Good quality ingredients and great presentation.  Highly recommended.

Came here on a wednesday night. It was packed. I love how they arranged all of the different kind of foods. I also love their hospitality. and the best part about that night was: THE DESSERTS. I LOVE ALL OF THEM. There are lots of different choices of desserts. If you love chocolate, they have tons of chocolaty dessert. But if you don’t love chocolate, do not worry! they also have plenty of non-chocolate desserts. Looking forward to go back there and eat moreee food.

We really enjoyed our experience here. While the buffet disappointedly wasn’t any step up in quality from the Atrium (and there is far less variety), it’s lovely to be seated in an uncrowded, modern setting and the whole design of the Epicurean is spectacular. Service was good and while I won’t rush back, this is definitely a great option for a special occasion.

Just wow! I must say that I had my best dining experiences at Epicurean. The variety of food was spectacular🤩 and I have to point out that the pork belly🤤 was something from a different world. The oysters were yummy and the waiter Trang was beautiful😍 and provided excellent service.<br/><br/>Unfortunately my perfect night was let down by the dessert😥. The brownies were too hard which made me very sad as I love dessert. In addition I have to also say that the Asian selection of food was average at best. <br/><br/>To conclude this review, I finished the night full and in a good mood. The food was something created by a talented chef, but maybe the chef who made the brownies needs to try harder (sorry, not sorry). <br/><br/>-Nasty Annie

From the very moment we pulled our overnight bags through the immense foyer of Crown Towers Perth, I felt relaxed. The luxury hotel is Crown Perth’s glittering jewel. With so much to see and do on the Burswood peninsula, it’s the perfect spot for a family stay-cay. We headed downstairs for breakfast at Epicurean, but instead of the luxe buffet, we opted to enjoy the good weather and order from the a la carte menu outside.

My husband and I had the 8pm seating. Although there were a lot of people the lines for the buffet weren’t too long. Excellent service. A good variety for foods, unfortunately not enough room in my stomach! The food was all presented beautifully, was was delicious! I’d love to come back!

Came here for dinner on a Monday night. Seating was beautiful, atmosphere was amazing, service was attentaive and lovely. There was soo much food. Great variety. Food was constantly replenished. Everything was just fantastic!! The sashimi station was on point!!

Best buffet in WA so far! For the price you pay you get Hugh variety of food from all around the world and even more impressive line-up of desserts! Furthermore you get a classy fine-dining ambiance with great service to top it up! Yes, if you want to be pedantic there maybe upsetting meals / items here and there, and yes, the 2-hour limits maybe an offset, but for the price you pay, it is surely worth it!<br/><br/>Highlight for me, apart from the dessert, would be the crabs (they even have chili crab ala singapore), the oysters, and the roast pork :)

Beautiful world class surroundings. Six of us went on a Monday for lunch to celebrate an anniversary. The choice of food at the buffet was, for the most part, Eastern and while it was quite nice we would have liked a choice of other cuisines. The desserts did not taste freshly made. Staff were friendly and overall it was a good experience apart from these minor issues. <br/>Anna

Absolutely delicious selection of buffet goodness. Love the seafood station, oysters were epic! Beautiful hot food options too. And the dessert bar - I could go on forever!

Huge selection of excellent food, though it's very $$$. We arrived at the very start of dinner service and the selection was both fresh and abundant. The staff were also very indulgent of my toddler, who also thankfully behaved herself (whew!)! There's plenty of space to move around, so you don't feel like you're encroaching on your neighbours, and the overall look of the place was beautiful. Sadly, I've overindulged and have massive food regerts right now, so the thought of going back is currently making me feel a little ill... but odds are once I've digested my dinner I'll be happy to go back someday!

Went to Epicurean for the second time on Friday night.  Food is lovely but really disappointed in the standard, drink service slow other diners wearing Adidas shirts and felt like it has become the typical eat all you can bogan buffet.<br/>There needs to be a dress standard.<br/>Not sure I will be going back.

wasn't the best food, but it was ok. for the price its not that bad as it has a Hugh variety. not all the food is good but some. dessert was good and the staff was friendly.

Dined at the Epicurean with friends. Buffet was very well presented and had so many options. Seafood was fresh, some mains excellent some ok, desserts delightful. Staff very friendly and professional. Great atmosphere.

Epicurean. The flagship buffet of the Crown Towers. <br/><br/>Having dined here - a few times, the recipe remains consistent. Bright, open air seating surrounded by nation themed food stations. A bar, albeit slow and very pricey, the waitress very quick to take the bar menu off your table without asking if you want a drink. As if nobody orders from it. <br/><br/>The food? Quantity over quality. Want all you can eat Oysters, crab, sashimi, sushi and roast? Tick. Dessert bar? Tick. But want the freshest produce, buy it from the supplier or a gourmet independent grocer. <br/><br/>The food stations suffer from a lack of innovation, having been mostly identical since the first I dined. The oysters, whilst mostly plump were shucked some time before serving. They’re mushy and not all that pleasant. Same with the bread and pappadum. That slightly stale, soft bite giving away the fact they’ve had too much air. Sushi and sashimi are acceptable. As are the meat stations. Vegetables overdone. The dragonfruit salad and fruit - hard to go wrong. <br/><br/>Dessert. It seems the chocolate fountain must have had too many kiddie hands through it. It’s gone. The marshmallows are delicious, fluffy and handmade. Plenty of options of small cakes, large cakes and cheese. <br/><br/>For the price, go at lunch and book several weeks in advance. For all you can eat, this place still fills up and is booked out regularly. Great to treat family dinners where quantity outweighs quality. <br/><br/>But if it’s the fresh food, well done you want. You’ll leave feeling full, but dissatisfied. <br/><br/>Average. <br/>

We went as a group of three couples for the afternoon tea. First impression - everyone queuing to get in for the 3.30 booking. They then let everyone in at once so it takes a while to get seated. You then are faced with the rush to get to the afternoon tea buffet - so we took our time to avoid the queues (that was a mistake). <br/><br/>The $59 price includes a half serve of sparkling wine and tea or coffee. But don’t expect any choice in tea - a small single serve tea pot of hot water with a tea bag for green tea cost an additional $5.<br/><br/>The food choices were great, and there were no complaints with the amount, quality and range on offer.<br/><br/>But just over an hour in, and you are told the buffet closes in ten minutes. So we hurried up to get some desserts/cake before the buffet shut up shop.<br/><br/>Next thing the bill gets slapped down on the table and all the lights in the room turned up all the way - guess that is the sign to get out. (The cleaners moving in was another sure sign.)<br/><br/>Way too rushed, very impersonal food factory - get em in and get em out quick.<br/><br/>Then, in what should be an extinct practice in Perth, we are told “oh no, no split billing allowed, but as no one is behind you I can split it two ways” well that’s not good enough - how hard is it to allow each couple to pay for their share. <br/><br/>The food in no way makes up for the sausage factory feel of this place. Never intend to step foot inside the place again. <br/>

Had the breakfast buffet when staying over, great looking restaurant and friendly attentive staff. <br/>Loads on offer from all over the world and great selection of pasty and baked goods.

Ok, a bit expensive but it is fantastic food, great variety and stunning setting. Typically do Buffett with the family but this place is different. Give it a go as it has something for everyone and rocks. Downside is the 2 hour sitting.

This place is really expensive it cost me $95 for the buffet. If your a seafood lover and can eat a lot, it has nice prawns and really good oysters. I think if your not a big eater just go somewhere else. The quality of the food is really<br/>Nice also

One of the best buffets in Perth. Love the variety of food and the desserts were absolutely amazing. Service was good and efficient. Great atmosphere and highly recommended.

This place has a truly amazing spread and can tickle your tastebuds with a variety of authentic cuisines. I’ve been here quite a few times and was never disappointed with the variety, quality and service. Pricing is also moderate.

Being abit harsh on the rating the buffet intentionally as the dinning experience didnt match its value.<br/><br/>Lovely setting and great service, but for fine dinning, the main attraction (the food) just didnt cut it for me.<br/><br/>Still, it may be a place you want to just check out for the experience or impress a date, if so consider going on an off peak day so you wont be overly disappointed.<br/><br/>Deserts did look nice.

It was okay! Not bad, but not amazing. I have been to the Atrium many times and honestly I can't tell the difference. If anything, I think I prefer the Atrium. We stayed at the Towers so thought we would give it a go, but very average considering you're paying more. Decor was nice but didn't wow me. Chocolate fountain was a lovely touch, but chocolate was quite bitter (not a dark chocolate enthusiast). Also a second toaster for non gluten free bread is a must. We waited for so long just to toast our bread.

Despite the nice decor, the buffet is a bit pricey with the selection and quality of food.. The crab wasn't fresh, desserts were quite ordinary (all mouse cake type with different flavour/coloring).  We got there at 8pm, the kitchen started to pack up at 9.30pm which was a bit annoying. Only think I like was the risotto and mash, and the Sydney oyster (which doesn't require cooking). Herb butter was good, but unfortunately the bread was terrible (old and crunchy). So for the price and Crown, I expect better quality food. <br/>Will I go back? I don't think so.<br/>Is there a better alternative? Sure! Laputa!

Been here multiple times since the restaurant opened up in Perth. For me, there have the best buffet in Perth so far but still unable to compare to the buffet in most Asian countries. <br/>There have a good variety of food .The seafood here was very fresh. The highlight was definitely the decors and the dessert station. There have a huge variety of dessert to choose from, some taste quite nice and some pretty average. <br/>It cost around $95 per person for dinner on the weekend and public holiday. Didn't really like the restrictive timing there had considered paying $95 pp on a weekend dinner and get told we have to leave in half an hour after seated down for one and half hour.

Food was very nice, atmosphere average, and the most frustrating thing... 1 Hour & 30 minutes and your out (at 1Hr, we were notified by a waitress that we had 30 minutes left, and that we should make last selection at the buffet before our time is up).  It is expensive (~ $95 per head during Christmas Season). This was our end of year work function, and it was very rushed... and then spot on 7:30pm, window blinds are raised and bright lights turned on and cleaning staff enter.  There is then a long line at the exit counter as people all leave and pay at the same time.  Most ridiculous thing I have ever seen in a restaurant (a reverse Sizzler).<br/><br/>I guess the good part is the exercise due to long walk back to the Casino car park... oh yer that's right, I forgot to mention, there is no parking at the restaurant, you have to park elsewhere and walk for 15 minutes (or pay $55 valet).<br/><br/>Overall, the food was excellent, but the experience was average.

Epicurian is a buffet style restaurant which forms part of the highly rated Crown Towers complex. It claims to offer ‘an outstanding array of international cuisine, with a series of different culinary stations, each offering a distinct and unique dining experience’. It does offer a reasonable buffet, with choices of some Indian, Asian and Western dishes. For us, however, it was a bit of a disappointment. The choices were limited and while the food was nice, it was nothing spectacular or outstanding at all. The service was very average overall. The standard of cleaning in the toilets was, let’s say, questionable. It was also quite expensive considering the quality being offered. The choices in terms of wine were limited and overpriced. <br/>Compared to some of the buffets you can find in some of Bali’s best hotels, it just does not come close. Overall, disappointing and I don’t think we’ll be rushing back.
