Airports are upping their gastronomic game, giving food-minded travelers a reason to linger between flights. Here, five great airports to eat in:

Sydney International

T1 hosts Australia's only branch of the acclaimed Caviar House & Prunier Seafood Bar. Along with roe, it showcases local delicacies like smoked Tasmanian salmon.

San Francisco International
