4 great new food and drink outlets open at Dublin Airport
Passengers travelling through Dublin Airport this spring are in for a treat with the unveiling of four fantastic new and improved food and drink outlets in the terminals.
Over recent days, the airport has welcomed the re-opening of the fully revamped Butlers Chocolate Cafe in Terminal 2 airside, the addition of the new The Arthur Guinness Bar in Terminal 1 airside, the re-opening of an enlarged Uppercrust outlet in Terminal 1 landside and the much-awaited re-opening of The Garden Terrace bar in Terminal 1 airside.
According to Aileen Dautry, Head of Food and Beverage at Dublin Airport: "These new and improved additions are already going down a treat with passengers who are now enjoying more choice and higher standards than ever before. Butlers is a hugely popular choice in both terminals and this new outlet in Terminal 2 brings more space and choice for passengers. Since The Garden Terrace closed for refurbishment late last year, we've been inundated with queries about when it's going to be back open and passenger feedback has been really positive about the fully revamped outlet.
“Also in Terminal 1, the stunning new Arthur Guinness Bar opened just in time for Cheltenham and St Patrick's Day and the pints haven't stopped pouring since as passengers enjoy a quiet drink before their flight. The new Arthur Guinness Bar also offers a delicious range of toasties and hot dishes, increasing the range of food available airside in Terminal 1. We're also continuing to roll out improvements landside for airport users with Uppercrust in the Terminal 1 Arrivals Hall having almost doubled in size to meet demand."
More improvements coming
As well as offering more food and drink options, Dublin Airport is working closely with our food and beverage partners SSP and KSG to ensure other passenger improvements are being built in to the new and revamped units, including more seating and more charging points, while some outlets - including Butlers in both terminals - are offering self-service kiosks to allow for easy ordering (in addition to traditional till ordering options).
The even better news for passengers at Dublin Airport is that there's even more to come over the coming months with a string of new outlets set to open up, including a new Pret a Manger, a new Italian restaurant offering pizzas and pasta, a new Korean fried chicken outlet alongside an Asian fast casual concept in Terminal 1. Meanwhile, Terminal 2 is set for a brand-new wine bar at the heart of the departures lounge as well as a traditional Irish bar later this year.
Aileen Dautry added: "We can't wait for passengers to see what else we have coming down the line. This is going to be another busy summer at the airport and, with more choice and variety available, we'd encourage anyone flying over the coming months to plan in advance where they want to eat, grab a coffee drink or snack once they reach the airport. Full details of all of the food and drink outlets in the terminals are available on the Dublin Airport website, so take a look, plan out our journey through the airport and give yourself that little bit of extra time to enjoy all the great choices on offer!"
