Icebergs stands out among the highlights, offering travellers its signature coastal Italian cuisine, built on more than 20 years as a renowned Sydney dining destination.

It will serve small plates, such as tuna crostini with fermented chilli and lime, and larger dishes, including Icebergs’ classic spaghetti vongole with Goolwa pipis and Pilu bottarga.

The menu will also feature breakfast options, such as folded eggs with pesto on sourdough and avocado toast with finger lime and whipped ricotta, as well as children’s staples, including burgers, lasagne and a variety of pastas.

From MoVida’s creator comes Tres Tacos, where acclaimed chef Frank Camorra fuses his culinary creativity with the vibrant flavours of Mexican street food.

The restaurant will offer a Mexican street food-inspired menu, featuring tacos, burritos and shareable bites.

RaRa Ramen adds variety to the line-up with its renowned Japanese ramen, featuring rich broths, handmade noodles and modern interpretations of classic bowls.

Sydney Airport Group Executive Commercial Mark Zaouk said, “With this announcement, we’re bringing our vision for a reimagined T3 dining experience to life.

“From contemporary coastal dining by the iconic Icebergs team, to Frank Camorra’s new concept Tres Tacos, premium pastries at Loulou and cult-favourite ramen at RaRa Ramen, the line-up has been carefully curated to enhance the passenger experience.

“We’re proud to introduce this new mix of homegrown favourites alongside our existing global names – from Stone & Wood to Luke Mangan’s Bistro & Bar – combining the best of local dining with a truly world-class terminal experience.”

The roll-out of 14 additional brands will begin in phases later this year, forming part of a wider T3 redevelopment.

Alongside the new dining precinct, the project will introduce a revitalised speciality retail mix (to be announced soon); upgraded shopfronts and signage; enhanced seating and greenery; and improved wayfinding for easier navigation.

To serve travellers during construction, temporary pop-up carts will offer fresh food and coffee from brands including York Street Coffee, Sushi Saikou, and Baker’s Cut.  ‍
