To a lot of people, Priority Pass is just another lounge program but it has actually been a little more than that for some time.
Over the past few years Priority Pass has been adding airport restaurants to its portfolio in locations where it has found it challenging to get access to more lounge space and, at these restaurants, select Priority Pass members can use their lounge visit entitlement to receive a cash amount towards any food or drinks they purchase.
The cash amounts on offer vary from country to country (sometimes within countries too) and will, for example, range from £15 (UK) to AU$36 (Australia) to $28 (USA) – please check the details of individual lounges as these are only guidelines.
General Rules
- Cardholders can use their lounge visit entitlement to receive a set amount off the bill (check the rules for the lounge you’re visiting to determine the exact amount)
- Each deduction represents a single lounge visit within the Cardholder’s existing lounge visit allocation for which the Cardholder will, where applicable, be charged. E.g. if a Cardholder registers 1 Guest they will receive US$56 off their bill which will be charged as 1 Cardholder visit + 1 Guest visit on their account.
- The deductible amount is valid for the purchase of any meal and/or drinks excluding bottle sales & merchandise.
- To be eligible, Cardholders must present a valid Priority Pass card and Boarding Pass with confirmed same-day travel before placing an order.
- The deductible amount is non-transferable & cannot be exchanged for cash substitute or refund if the final bill is lower than the deductible amount.
- Cardholder is responsible for the balance if total final bill exceeds the deductible amount(s).
- Any unused balance cannot be used towards gratuity.
Note: these are general rules and there will be variations within the system – check individual restaurant rules before arrival to ensure you know what you can expect.

Priority Pass Memberships Which Grant Restaurant Access
If you’ve purchased membership directly through Priority Pass (Standard, Standard Plus or Prestige membership) you automatically have access to all Priority Pass restaurants on the same terms as you have for lounge access.
If you haven’t purchased membership directly from Priority Pass but hold one of the following credit cards, you will have Priority Pass Select membership as part of your benefits package which grants access to Priority Pass restaurants:
Chase
- Chase Sapphire Reserve
- Ritz-Carlton Rewards Card (not open to new applicants)
US Bank
- US Bank Reserve Visa Infinite
Citibank
- Citi Prestige Card
Warning: A significant number of US-issued American Express cards (like the Platinum Card and the Business Platinum Card) also offer Priority Pass Select memberships but these Amex cards are specifically excluded from the Priority Pass restaurant program.
The Restaurants
Right, now for the main reason for this post – Here’s a list of restaurants currently participating in the Priority Pass program.
I’m going to do my best to keep this list as up to date as possible and to do that I’ll need to enlist your help – if you see something wrong on this list or know of a restaurant that has been added and that isn’t on this list please let me know in the comments – I’ll look into it and update the list as appropriate. Thanks.

*Reader Melanie has reported (in the comments) Kafe Kalik has been displaying a sign indicating that they no longer take part in the Priority Pass program. The location is still currently listed on the Priority Pass website but I have emailed the program to see if I can get any clarification.

Thanks very much for the info – I’ve added Boteju to the list but TGM looks like a regular lounge according to the PP website
Also two or three in MEL. Update your list…
Don’t EVER tell me to do something – I’m not your employee. Politely ask, suggest, request or point something out but don’t ever tell me what to do. Ok?
Go away and learn some manners – you can start by seeing how the first commenter made his point – politely and helpfully.
lol, chill out. His response was borderline rude, yours was categorically rude.
After a while, it gets boring having people address you like you’re there to do their will.

good post thank you
Kafe Kalik at FLL airport has a sign up at the check in desk two weeks ago when I was there saying they no longer take part in the program. I have emailed Priority Pass to ask what’s going on.
Thanks Melanie, that’s very useful to know. I have updated the post to show that Kafe Kalik may have left the program.
[…] Check to see if the Priority Pass lounges that you’d like to visit have reopened? (Don’t forget that membership also gives you access to the Restaurants in the Priority Pass program) […]
