The changes will transform the terminal’s dining precinct and specialty retail offering into a vibrant, contemporary space that better reflects the tastes of today’s travellers.
Phase One of the transformation will see 14 new food and beverage concepts introduced, with three headline brands – Maggio’s, Slim’s Quality Burgers and Loulou – all making their airport debut.
Opening later this year, these emerging names represent the first step in a broader terminal upgrade designed to elevate the passenger experience and reimagine domestic travel at Australia’s busiest airport.
“T3 Domestic is not just a terminal; it’s a gateway for millions of passengers to Australia’s vibrant domestic travel market,” said Mark Zaouk, Group Executive Commercial at Sydney Airport.
“We’re transforming the dining and speciality retail areas by securing iconic brands that reflect the premium offering T3 is known for.
“We’re proud to partner with brands that bring authenticity, creativity and premium quality to the terminal. This is just the beginning, we’ll soon be unveiling even more exceptional dining names, along with a revitalised specialty retail mix to match.”
A taste of what’s to come
# Maggio’s – An airport first for this North Shore institution, founded by the Maggio brothers in 1998. Known for its Italian pasticceria favourites, expect maritozzi, sfogliatelle, fresh pasta, pizza and hearty sandwiches made from scratch.
# Slim’s Quality Burgers – A cult-favourite burger joint bringing nostalgic, fast-casual dining to the terminal, with a menu built on fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
# Loulou – Best known for its boulangerie and award-winning croissants, Loulou offers French-style pastries, baguette sandwiches, pate and gourmet retail gifts, perfect for pre-flight indulgence, travel treats or luxury gifting.
These venues join recent openings including Luke Mangan’s Bar & Bistro, flagship airport bar Stone & Wood and the Heinemann Domestic concept store, forming part of the terminal’s broader commercial refresh.
The T3 transformation also includes upgraded shopfronts and signage, improved wayfinding for faster navigation and new furniture, finishes and greenery to enhance ambience.
