Brisbane Airport’s dining revamp revealed in new look at International Terminal

–

Travellers are getting their first look at a major refresh inside Brisbane Airport’s International Terminal, as the rollout of 13 new and upgraded food and beverage outlets takes shape.

Four more food outlets are set to open mid-year, including crowd-favourite KFC, Mediterranean-inspired lobby bar concept Manna and healthy grab-and-go options from Liv Eat and Sushi Jiro kiosks.

McDonalds opened in December last year and continues to trade as one of their busiest locations in Queensland.

Still to come, brand new hub The Dining Precinct will bring together sweet treats from Gelatissimo and local bakery Jocelyn’s Provisions, gourmet sandwiches from Brisbane-born Joe’s Deli, the Deck Bar & Eatery, Coffee Trader as well as international flavours like Souva Greek Eats, Asian Street Kitchen and Sol Mexican Eats.

Brisbane coffee favourites Bellissimo, Merlo Cafe and Kuhl-Cher Cafe will also have outlets across the departures and arrivals levels.

All 13 outlets will be fully open by the end of 2027.

New retail coming to International Terminal will include travel essentials from Relay, Prosegur Change Currency Exchange and the footprint of the existing Lotte Duty Free store will almost double as part of the transformation in coming years.

Scott Norris, Executive General Manager Commercial at Brisbane Airport said the transformation marked one of the biggest overhauls of the terminal’s dining experience to date.

“This food and retail upgrade will create a terminal that feel unmistakenly like Brisbane; relaxed, welcoming and full of great food.

“We know travellers want to enjoy local flavours. The upgraded terminal will feature a mix of Brisbane bites and international favourites designed to make the pre-flight experience feel a little more like the holiday itself.

“We want to thank passengers for their continued patience as we work to transform the International Terminal. There’s already a buzz with these new food and drink outlets, and even more exciting options are just around the corner,” he said.

A section of the Village Green, located in the centre of Level 3 Departures Hall of the International Terminal, will be closed for staged ceiling replacement works until approximately mid-June.
