Where to eat with dietary requirements at Brisbane Airport
Travelling with a dietary requirement doesn’t mean boarding your flight hungry.
Brisbane Airport has a growing range of cafés, bars and restaurants with low-gluten, vegan and vegetarian choices, from big breakfasts, salads and burgers to snacks and sweet treats.
Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite before take-off or have time to sit down for a proper meal, there are options across both the Domestic and International terminals. Here’s where to look.
Where can I find dietary friendly food in the Domestic Terminal at Brisbane Airport?
Whether you're after a fresh breakfast, a hearty meal or something quick before your flight, there are plenty of options to explore in Brisbane Airport’s Domestic Terminal.
The Aviary
Start your morning at The Aviary with the Breakfast Avocado with za’atar dipped avocados, whipped feta, lemon and dill on Turkish bread. This dish is vegetarian, however, can be made vegan if you swap the feta with house made hummus or low-gluten by asking for their alternative bread.
For lunch, try the low-gluten Chicken Patatas, a Mediterranean marinated chicken served with smashed baby chats, grilled broccolini on a pumpkin base.
The Independent
If you’ve arrived hungry, The Independent has several popular vegetarian dishes. The Banana Bread French Toast with caramelised banana and pistachio mascarpone, as well as a Big Veggie Breakfast complete with eggs, avocado, mushrooms, roasted tomato and a hash brown will have you sorted.
The Common
Baked eggs, arancini or a burger? The Common gives vegetarians a few directions to go. Try the Shakshuka Baked Eggs with mozzarella, beans, tomato and dukkah, or try the vegetarian Triple-Cheese Arancini with romesco sauce and herb oil.
There's also a Vegetarian Burger featuring a V2 plant-based patty to rival any burger – opt in for the low-gluten burger bun if needed.
Local
From breakfast bowls to pizza, Local covers both lighter bites and something more substantial. The vegetarian Granola Bowl combines honey and almond granola, yoghurt, mango and honey, right through to a vegetarian Margherita Pizza and Roast Pumpkin Arancini. If you’re looking for a healthier bite, the vegetarian Harvest Bowl is a delicious blend of avocado, grilled halloumi, falafel, macadamia nuts, chickpeas and more.
The Lord Lamington
If a burger is your pre-flight meal of choice, make your way to The Lord Lamington. The Lord Butty includes locally sourced bacon, spinach, fried egg and melted cheese between a toasted bun (low-gluten options available).
The Pulled Pork Burger and Beef Burger all feature fresh ingredients prepared to live up to the test for lunch and dinner (again, simply choose the low-gluten bun to enjoy).
For vegetarians, there is a Mushroom Burger with crumbed mushroom or The Veggie Patch, a delightful mix of sauteed mushrooms, grilled tomato, fresh spinach, hash brown, popcorn cauliflower, avocado and eggs cooked to your liking.
Graze Bar & Grill
Got a little more time before boarding? Settle in for a sit-down meal at Graze Bar & Grill. Vegetarian options include Grilled Field Mushrooms with garlic butter, yoghurt sauce and hummus, while the Atlantic Salmon Fillet with roasted potatoes, asparagus rocket salad and hollandaise sauce is a low-gluten option.
If you're short on time, Trader & Co and Bellissimo are both handy grab-and-go options with fresh and made-to-order low-gluten snacks including Blueberry Chia Pot, Banana Bread and Carrot Cake - all vegetarian and low-gluten.
