T1 Departures will soon welcome to The Bistro by Wolfgang Puck, Australia’s first Heineken House, Benny Burger by Shannon Bennett, Kitchen by Mike and Joe and The Juice.

These new dining outlets will open in what has been dubbed the City View precinct beyond customs.

Due to open in the first half of 2016, The Bistro by Wolfgang Puck is the newest concept in the Wolfgang Puck collective and will deliver a relaxed Italian trattoria-style dining experience, serving modern Italian fare including gourmet pasta and wood-fired pizza.

Kitchen by Mike will open in late 2016.

The new City View dining precinct will create a greater sense of vibrancy and ambience within the terminal with an expanded seating area to accommodate passengers in close proximity to boarding gates. The new precinct forms part of the wider Sydney Airport T1 improvements program which will also deliver wider pathways to improve passenger flows throughout the terminal, clearer sight lines and improved wayfinding to enhance the passenger experience.

Three of the five new food and beverage brands, The Bistro by Wolfgang Puck, Heineken House and Kitchen by Mike, have been designed by award-winning Australian architect, Mike McCann of Dreamtime Australia Design, best known for developing exceptional dining experiences at some of Sydney’s most popular restaurants including Mr Wong, Felix and Grain at The Four Seasons.

The City View precinct will be complemented by a new luxury shopping precinct showcasing a collection of 13 premium international brands opening in mid-2016.
