AVOTACO

Avotaco is all about serving up Mexican cuisine favourites, which are packed with both flavour and colour. The menu covers everything from burritos to quesadillas and tacos. Beyond the basics, the eatery also offers some unique Mexican-style sides, from avocado fries to handmade empanadas and traditional elotes. The eatery’s menu also offers vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. Our suggestion: Go for Avotaco’s trio of tacos; from a filling of shredded pork cooked in flavoursome chipotle sauce and succulent pork or beef dripping in a chilli, garlic, and tomato sauce, to a vegan-friendly soy filling, this menu option will allow you to savour many flavours in one sitting. BANH MI

Banh Mi has brought the best and most authentic Vietnamese flavours to the airport. The menu is bursting with Asian-inspired dishes that are sure to get your taste buds tingling; from their piping hot soups and hearty curries to their delicious Mi Xao noodles and hand-made bao buns. They also offers vegetarian, vegan friendly and gluten free meal options. Our suggestion: You can’t go to Banh Mi and not taste the Banh Mi baguette rolls it’s named after… but do not expect an ordinary sandwich. A Banh Mi baguette is a meal in itself, filled with generous portions of chicken, pork, duck, or mixed vegetables and drenched in Banh Mi’s divine house sauce.

BURGER KING

The Home of the Whopper has now also become the Home of the Plant-Based Whopper, and we just love this veggie alternative. The sustainably sourced soy-based patty is still flame grilled and topped with the crispiest lettuce leaves, the freshest tomatoes, and the crunchiest pickles, allowing you to savour Burger King’s signature flavours, while doing the environment a big favour. For added taste and crunch, spice things up with a side of goldenyellow curly fries, and if you’re still feeling peckish, top up your meal with a portion of plant-based nuggets. KFC

KFC has become synonymous with its buckets, and just because we think that food tastes better when shared with friends and

family, this is our go-to option. You can choose from four buckets: die-hard fans of the Colonel’s original recipe will surely go for a bucketful of 15 chicken pieces prepared using the famous 11-spice blend, while those who prefer variety can bite into the most popular menu items by ordering a Variety Bucket, a Family Feast Bucket, or by creating their very own bucket with a minimum of 12 pieces.

DR JUICE NATURAL GOOD FOOD

While the Dr Juice stall inside the Check-In Hall offers juices, fruity smoothies, and liquid meals, you can choose from a variety of wraps and toasties, fresh salads, noodle bowls and tasty brunch options at the Dr Juice Natural Good Food stall inside the Food Court. Suitable for all diets, Dr Juice’s varied menu includes options for vegetarians, vegans and anyone looking for a low GI, carb-free or gluten-free meal. Our suggestion: The kick from the chili, the crunch of the mangetout, the subtle nuttiness of the chestnut mushrooms and the house teriyaki sauce are just a few of the flavours and textures that make Dr Juice’s Teriyaki Noodles one of our absolute favourite items. SOTTO PINSA ROMANA

The pinsa Romana has found its way to our islands and landed right here at our airport! While this authentic Roman-style pizza is prepared with simple and fresh ingredients, its thin crust, oval shape and innovative topping combinations, ranging from eggplant and ricotta to parma ham and truffle sauce, make it anything but a typical pizza. And what’s an Italian meal without dessert? If you’ve got a sweet tooth, you don’t want to miss out on Sotto’s classic, creamy tiramisu. Our suggestion: As great as the classic pinsas may taste, Sotto’s signature pinsas are simply divine and shouldn’t be missed. Say ciao bella to Luisa; a pizza that is topped with fior di latte, rocket, parma ham and truffle sauce.
