A new addition to the airport that was very needed. No bacon on the menu makes me feel more comfortable. They do breakfast as well. They do have a bar for the international traveller. The service is superb with quite a few staff on duty, all smiling. Food is nice. The atmosphere is upbeat. The eating area is kept clean. The decor is bright. The draw back is the prices are in dollars and naturally very expensive as expected from an airport. It did get busy as people came in for a flight and then got empty as boarding approached.

Quick service, really good ice coffee and friendly service. We only had 20 minutes before boarding ended so they quickly made the croque monsieur for take away. It was well filled, fresh bread and nice egg and sauce. In the meantime I asked which coffee they used and they explained us well what type of beans they used and how they crush it. I had no sugar but a bit of salted caramel syrup, it was not too sweet like most shops do in most shops. 2 guys that were serving were really nice!!
