These are the best airport restaurants in the world (according to frequent flyers)
Eating at the airport: usually not something that gets your heart racing. But if you look at the list compiled by media company Bloomberg, there really are airports where the food will make you happy. From Michelin-worthy dim sum in Hong Kong to Texas BBQ in Austin: at these airport restaurants, you might almost find yourself hoping for a delayed flight.
Best food at the airport
At the top of the list is Duddell’s, the airport restaurant at Hong Kong International’s Terminal One. This Michelin-starred restaurant serves irresistible honey-glazed barbecued pork, noodles and salted egg custard buns, among other things. Who says you can’t eat gastronomically while sitting between terminals?
Hungry Club, the airport restaurant at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport, is a project by Spanish chef Dabiz Muñoz. And then you know it has to be amazing. Muñoz, known for his restaurant Diverxo, has been ranked number 1 on The Best Chef Top 100 for three years in a row. Here you can eat Spanish classics with a creative twist, such as the famous potato-and-egg tortilla, but in burger form. This is undoubtedly the best way to spend your waiting time in Madrid.
And then there’s The Salt Lick BBQ at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, where you can enjoy sticky pulled pork, juicy brisket and spicy Hill Country sausage in true Texas style. If you love barbecue, you know you won’t want to leave anytime soon.
