If you’re lucky enough to have time up your sleeve for a sit-down feast, Brisbane Airport has a myriad of mouth-watering menus for you to choose from. But, if you’re in the market for something a little more express, we implore you to look for a more belly-fuelling bite than chips. If you’re flying with Qantas and craving a nourishing ready-made bowl, Seeds by Michelin-star chef Bruno Loubet is the perfect place to grab a bite. Offering a range of sustainability-focused snacks – including easy-to-eat salads and bowls that are full of flavour and made using the freshest local produce – there is something for everyone to enjoy at any time of the day. Our recommendation are the protein balls – add them to your acai bowl, smoothie or juice for that extra kick of protein. Want to feed your brain and belly? Head to Bound to grab some in-flight reading material, delicious bites and an award-winning cup of joe. This bookstore and espresso coffee bar concept dispenses bangin’ brews from Belissimo Coffee, as well as a spectacular selection of salivation-worthy snacks from pastry powerhouse Jocelyn’s Provisions.

If you’ve sat down for a meal at Mediterranean-inspired eatery The Aviary then you know the mouth-watering morsels come out quick, which is why this cafe and bar is the perfect place to perch for a quick bite. The eatery also has a range of snacks that you can grab on-the-go, such as the seriously-addictive honey puffs. Got a sweet tooth? Grab a gourmet sweet treat from New Farm Confectionary (chocolate-dipped salted caramel lollipops anyone?) or stock up on Noosa Natural Chocolate Co at News@bne. For more sugary delights you can choose from a selection of sweet and savoury options from Mott & Mulberry, like the matcha almonds or freckled buttons from Melbourne-based sweets dispensary Chocomama. It wouldn’t be a round-up of the best airport bites without mentioning cult favourite, Krispy Kreme. It goes without saying the doughnuts and milkshakes are a must for any on-the-go traveller with a serious sweet tooth.
