The Qantas domestic Business Lounges in Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane often have some excellent special dishes served available from the Spice Bar, Pizza Bar or The Oven, respectively. But Qantas’ busiest domestic Business Lounge, in Sydney, doesn’t have this… until now.
Many frequent flyers would tell you that the Qantas domestic Business Lounge in Sydney is probably due for a refurbishment. The catering has also seen few changes in years, with typical food options including toasted sandwiches, salad, soups, and pasta or a hot meat-based dish with rice. But there’s an exciting new development on this front.
Qantas is now offering high quality, special plated dishes on selected days in the Sydney domestic Business Lounge. The trial began a few weeks ago and is running on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons.
The lounge is offering different meals on different days, with things like laksa and freshly-prepared salads among the dishes on rotation.
During a visit last Friday evening, AFF member dylarr enjoyed a delicious plate of maple & soy mini drumsticks with Vietnamese slaw.
Food at other Qantas domestic Business Lounges
At Qantas’ Melbourne domestic Business Lounge, the Spice Bar is a huge hit with travellers. Every day, Qantas’ Spice Bar offers two freshly-plated Asian-inspired specials such as noodle soups, crispy noodles or spicy rice-based dishes.
In Perth’s Qantas domestic Business Lounge, there’s a different type of freshly-baked pizza each day.
In the Brisbane domestic Business Lounge, the Mexican Cantina has been rebranded as “The Oven” and serves a variety of different specials, although it no longer seems to be open every day.
