    This lounge is unreal. Book your spa appointments day before. The restaurant is done by the same chef as Rockpool, and it's so, so amazing. Eat. Drink. Be merry. Try to move in. :)

    Amazing lounge! Great views towards the city, good food, cocktails and four kinds of champagne. Has a spa as well, but that is often times full.

    Finally a lounge with a nice fast wifi connection and great food. This is so much better than all the BA lounges I've been too. Well done Qantas!

    One of Qantas's signature lounges. The restaurant is excellent and menu refreshed seasonally. Quiet and relaxed lounge. Very spacious. Check with lounge staff for spa appointments.

    Great big lounge with an ever changing menu and selection of drinks. Lots of comfy seats with great views of the runway. Shower facilities. Spa treatments are difficult to book.

    Great breakfast but you have to put your name down for a table. Do that, grab a chair in the lounge, order your food then ask them to transfer it to your table when it's ready or you'll wait forever

    amazing lounge! Actual food and wonderful table service. Grab a table when you get in! Food is going to take a minute to be served. Not too long though.

    Try the salt and pepper squid! Come a bit earlier if you can because service can be a bit slow at peak times.

    Have a Bloody Mary to kick start one of the best Sunday brunch spots in town. Such terrific food it's hard to believe you are at the airport!

    Loved for its design as much as its amenities, this lounge will make you want to stay awhile — order their “Manna from Heaven” dessert with raspberry and passion fruit to help aid your travel woes. Read more

    Try the unlisted menu item - bacon and egg brioche if you are here before 11:30am

    If you spot a decanter at the bar ask the staff what's in it. More often than not it's a special wine not listed on the menu and they only have a bottle or two. Oh, and always order the calamari.

    Lovely way to start the day before a long flight. The bloody Mary is simple, not too spicy, lacks any embellishments but tastes quite good. Food here is very good.

    Incredibly crowded for a first class lounge. Kinda defeats the purpose. Food offering ok, but the cattle market vibe is gross and the boarding announcements are deafeningly loud.

    Best breakfast in Sydney. Great food. Great view. Try muesli, eggs, everything is terrific incl. Fresh juices and coffee. Well worth getting up and going early.

    Food is decent, but the service can be improved. Crumbs all over tables and carpets. Old, worn furniture, dirty restrooms, this list goes on...

    Whatever you do, do NOT use the currency exchange service at the bottom of the escalator - biggest spread ever seen!!!

    Be wary of the eggs Benedict, on multiple occasions the eggs have come out almost completely uncooked.
