A major Sydney restaurant has announced a surprising step for the future of the brand that no one saw coming.
Popular restaurant Bondi Icebergs Dining Room and Bar will open a spin-off location at Sydney Airport in mid-2025.
Restaurateur Maurice Terzini told Sydney Morning Herald that the popular venue “has a licensing agreement” with food and beverage operator Airport Retail Enterprises.
He also said Carl Pickering, the Italian architect who designed the eastern suburbs restaurant, has already mapped out the airport site.
‘In some ways it’s even more beautiful [than Bondi]said Mr. Terzini. ‘The assignment was to capture the DNA of the icebergs. It’s really elegant and uses the same colors.’

The location will combine the upscale appeal of the Bondi restaurant with convenient airport cuisine.
Terzini wants to focus on coffee and Italian breakfasts, but also on having a fully functional bar.
She shared plans for takeaway items, freshly baked cakes, collaborations with popular Sydney bakeries and more.
The restaurateur believes an Icebergs location at Sydney Airport can offer travelers a unique experience right out of the box by bringing a “piece of the heart of Sydney” to the terminal.
“It’s not going to be just a restaurant,” Mr. Terzini said. “Our goal is to offer a unique experience that will leave a lasting impression on both local and international travelers.”
Bondi Icebergs is one of Australia’s best-known restaurants, popular for its celebrity clientele, panoramic views and high-end atmosphere.
Previous diners include Hollywood stars Matt Damon, Chris Hemsworth and Taika Waititi.
Oprah Winfrey, Mick Jagger, Alexa Chung and Sienna Miller were also spotted at the beachfront restaurant.
