NAIA Terminal 3 opens doors to more dining brands

New restaurants and cafés continue to open under the airport’s modernization program for NAIA Terminal 3

More dining options are coming to Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 as New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC) expands its food and beverage lineup following its takeover of airport operations in September 2024.

Among the new concepts expected to open at T3’s international airside area by the end of August are Cibo, Shake Shack, Caravan Black, Wildflour, Conti’s, Ramen Nagi, BHC Chicken, Gloria Maris, Love A Bowl, Ladurée, Venchi, Voyager by Chele, and Baby Crosta. A 350-square-meter Starbucks Reserve is also scheduled to open in the domestic area in July.

NNIC said the expansion aims to maximize available terminal spaces and transform underused areas into passenger amenities.

“Our goal is to make T3 more useful and comfortable for more passengers,” NNIC said. “We are reworking available spaces so they can serve travelers better throughout the day.”

More food and beverage outlets are set to open at NAIA Terminal 3 as terminal spaces are converted into new passenger amenities 

The new dining concepts follow the opening of more than 40 restaurants and retail outlets at the T3 landside area, where former office spaces and other areas were repurposed for passenger use.

NNIC identified NAIA Terminal 3 as an immediate priority due to its high passenger volume, limited space, and demand for more food, beverage, and service options, particularly in the international departure area.

In March 2026, UK-based Airport Parking and Hotels ranked NAIA seventh globally for layover food options and sixth for most affordable airport lounge access in a study of the world’s 50 busiest airports.

NNIC said it is applying the same approach to other parts of T3, including former lounge areas and spaces that can be converted into restaurants, cafés, retail stores, and other passenger facilities.

“We want to make sure that our limited terminal space benefits more travelers,” NNIC said. “Better food choices, more comfortable waiting areas, and more useful passenger amenities are part of the airport experience we want to build.”

The company said similar space reviews and commercial improvements are underway in other terminals as part of NAIA’s broader modernization program, which focuses on improving passenger flow, terminal facilities, commercial services, and overall airport efficiency.
