In addition to the restaurants, a large number of cafés, bars and an English pub are just the place for a relaxing drink and interesting encounters. Chances are you will meet a genuine globetrotter there! The observation deck, too, has quite a bit to offer in the culinary department – and the Aviolino on the deck of Dock B offers a special welcome to the youngest airport fans.
