A little food trip is always a good idea, even at the airport.
Published on Oct 30, 2026
(SPOT.ph) Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) welcomed a record 52 million passengers in 2025, and with airports becoming more than just stopovers between destinations, dining has become a bigger part of the travel experience, too.
And honestly, who doesn’t love finding a good place to eat while waiting for a flight? Especially when you’re the type to arrive at the airport extra early (IYKYK). Here’s a piece of good news: there are now more dining spots to check out at NAIA Terminal 2, so you can make those pre-flight hours a little more enjoyable.
Your guide to the new restaurants at NAIA Terminal 2
Paris Baguette
Where: Northwing Airside, near Boarding Gate 1
Fancy a little pastry run before takeoff? Paris Baguette has you covered with its delicious lineup of baked pastries, breads, and cakes. Grab a Butter Croissant or Korean Milk Cream Ensaymada to pair with your coffee, and you’ve got yourself a nice little pre-flight treat. The popular South Korean bakery-café has plenty to choose from, whether you’re in the mood for something sweet or a light snack before boarding.
General's Lechon
Where: Mezzanine North Wing departure
Had to skip a meal to make it to the airport three hours before your flight? If you’re already running on empty, head to General’s Lechon for Negros-style lechon that boasts crispy, crackling skin and juicy, flavorful meat. With four delicious variants to choose from—Original, Garlic, Chili Garlic, and Curry—it’s just the kind of hearty Filipino meal you might need before takeoff.
Kenny Rogers Roasters
Where: Level 2, Northwest Wing, Pre-Departure
Open 24 hours
When you’re in the mood for a proper sit-down meal before your flight, Kenny Rogers Roasters is worth a stop. Its signature roasted chicken, your choice of sides, and those well-loved corn muffins make for a satisfying pre-trip meal. It’s also a good spot for families who want to enjoy lunch together before heading to their gates.
Seattle's Best Coffee
Where: Level 2, Northwest Wing, Pre-Departure
Open 24 hours
Whether you’re catching an early flight or trying to stay awake through a red-eye, a good cup of coffee always comes in handy. Seattle’s Best Coffee’s Breve drinks, made with espresso, milk, and cream, are perfect for those who like their coffee rich and creamy, while the Java Chip Javakula is a sweeter, blended option. Prefer your coffee black? They also serve freshly brewed coffee. Grab a panini, too, if you’d like something to munch on during the flight.
Travel Hub
Where: Mezzanine North Wing departure
Pasalubong is such a big part of Filipino travel culture, so it makes sense to have Travel Hub at NAIA Terminal 2. Drop by to pick up gifts, snacks, and personal essentials before heading off on your trip, or grab a few treats to bring home to family and friends.
The new dining and retail spots at NAIA Terminal 2’s North Wing departure area are part of New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC)’s Food. Fly. Fun. concept, bringing more places to eat and shop to an area that previously had limited options after security.

These additions build on the dining options introduced at Terminal 2 in recent months, including Burger Beast, Ka Tunying’s, Jollibee, Café France, Dunkin’, Chowking, Serenitea, Treats, Denny’s, Wendy’s, and Conti’s.
