Dublin Airport announced 7 January details of an exciting overhaul of the food and drink offerings in both of its terminals which will result in more than 20 new and improved bars, cafes and restaurants for passengers, with more than half of the new and revamped units opening by June.
The latest changes are the final piece in the jigsaw of a five-year journey to transform the food and beverage options available to passengers at Dublin Airport and mean there are now a total of 42 different outlets available across the two terminals.
daa Chief Commercial and Development Officer Vincent Harrison said “Passengers are in for a treat in 2024 with a whole host of exciting new additions and improvements to the already fantastic line-up of bars and eating places in Dublin Airport. These enhancements build on the many new outlets we have opened and improved in the terminals over recent years, which are going down very well with passengers. We’ve listened closely to passengers and have heard loud and clear that they want more choice, including more gluten-free options, and by working with our partners, we are going to offer them more variety than ever before. Passengers will soon be able to enjoy everything from Italian, Asian and Mexican outlets through to loved local favourites and up-and-coming Irish brands. We look forward to working closely with both KSG, which is based just down the road from the airport, and Lagardère Travel Retail, on the rollout of these new and improved outlets over the next 12 months.”
