The food here exceded our expectations. The Chicken Parmi was a decent size, paired with well-seasoned fries. The fish was good as there was no "fishy" smell to it. I would recommend trying here if you have hours before your flight because the service was quite slow despite only a few of customers there.

During my time at Adelaide Airport, I had the opportunity to dine at Precinct and decided to try their Tuscan Vegetable and Penne Vegetarian dish. Overall, it was a delightful experience that exceeded my expectations for airport dining. The Tuscan Vegetable and Penne was a hearty and flavorful dish. The penne pasta was cooked to a perfect al dente, providing a nice bite without being too firm. It was generously coated in a savory tomato-based sauce that was rich with herbs and spices, delivering a comforting and well-rounded flavor profile. The Tuscan vegetables added a wonderful depth to the dish. They were well-cooked, retaining a slight crunch that contrasted nicely with the soft pasta. The inclusion of a variety of vegetables like zucchini, eggplant, and bell peppers brought both color and freshness, making the dish feel vibrant and balanced. The shaved Parmesan on top added a lovely touch of creaminess and a slightly nutty flavor, which complemented the tangy tomato sauce beautifully. For an airport restaurant, the quality of the food at Precinct was impressive. The portion size was satisfying, and it made for a wholesome meal before my flight. If you find yourself at Adelaide Airport and are in the mood for a delicious vegetarian option, the Tuscan Vegetable and Penne at Precinct is definitely worth a try. It’s a great choice for a comforting and tasty meal amidst the hustle and bustle of the airport.

Ordered a soy flat white and the precinct breakfast which comes with bacon, mushrooms, two hash browns, three sausages, braised tomato, hollandaise sauce and two pieces of sourdough. It was large, delicious and very satisfying. My only gripe would be not enough butter for the toast - why does every cafe scut corners on that? Otherwise highly recommend. I probably wouldn’t pay $36 if it wasn’t a business expense but what do you expect from an airport vendor.

There's this café near the international gate at Adelaide airport. If you've got a priority pass, you're in luck – they give you $36 to spend on anything from their menu. My partner and I went for the chicken parmi and the beef burger. We also grabbed a ham and cheese croissant to go. The chicken parmi was huge and delicious, especially with the salad on the side – helped balance out the greasiness of the chips and parmi itself. The beef burger wasn't too shabby either. The cucumber pickle was ice cold though, which felt a bit weird next to the hot beef patty. But hey, all things considered, it's definitely bang for your buck. Coffee is really bad. No matter how many times I visited.
