AUSTRALIA. Renowned Australian chef and restaurateur Luke Mangan launched a new restaurant concept, Luke’s Bistro & Bar, at Sydney Airport Terminal 3 (domestic) on 22 December. The airport company said the move was “part of a wider remix of the food & beverage offer across all three Sydney Airport terminals”, with more brands to follow (see below).
Located airside, Luke’s Bistro & Bar has places for 200 diners split between bar seating, booths and tables.
Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the menu includes a full seafood bar, shared plates, a family menu plus classic cocktails and drinks with “a signature Luke Mangan twist”.
Chef Luke Mangan said: “Luke’s Bistro and Bar is for everyone, whether you want to come in and enjoy a full breakfast, lunch or dinner, or just grab a quick bite and go.
“You can have a glass of wine at the bar or the seafood counter or sit down with your family and friends in one of our comfortable booths to enjoy a meal together.
“I’m big on open kitchens and open spaces and I love seeing people sitting at the counters and bars enjoying their food while they chat to the staff.”
Sydney Airport Executive General Manager Commercial Mark Zaouk said: “We are thrilled to welcome Luke Mangan to the T3 domestic terminal, offering a touch of gourmet flair to our domestic dining experience.
“Luke’s reputation as a renowned Australian chef and restaurateur precedes him, and we are excited to showcase his culinary expertise to domestic travellers.
“With passenger numbers continuing to grow, our food & beverage offering has been expanding, with a host of newcomers moving in across our domestic and international terminals.
“We now have a curated dining offering that reflects the quality and diversity of Sydney’s rich food experiences. Whether our passengers are looking for a great coffee, local seafood, authentic international flavours, simple family favourites or a fine dining experience, they can find it at Sydney Airport.”
Recent newcomers to the T2 and T3 domestic terminals include KFC, Oporto, Liv Eat, Loop Bagels and Taste of Thai. Espresso@T3 with Sydney Coffee Exports, Great Northern Bar, the Stone and Wood Bar and All Press will all open soon.
These arrivals bring the number of F&B outlets across the domestic terminals to 45.
