The Mezz opens at Dublin airport
The Mezz also features a bar offering a range of locally brewed beers
Dublin Airport has opened “The Mezz”, a new street food-style unit in Terminal 2 in partnership with SSP Group.
The new unit offers six new food and beverage options to passengers, namely,
Camile Thai, serving “Good Mood Thai Food”, Handsome Burger, a homegrown market-style restaurant serving what has been dubbed ‘Ireland’s best burger’, and Badger and Dodo coffee, the SSP-developed brand Erin’s Kitchen, offering classic, homemade “comfort food” dishes that draw on traditional Irish recipes.
Additionally, it has also partnered with Ancho Hancho, serving a variety of Mexican-inspired dishes and specialty coffee roaster, Cloud Picker Coffee.
The Mezz also features a bar offering a range of locally brewed beers.
The opening of The Mezz is one of the many enhancements being introduced at Dublin Airport as part of a 15-point improvement aimed at raising standards for passengers in both terminals.
The Mezz is located upstairs in the airside departures area of T2 and features “innovative” digital solutions, including digital kiosk screens which allow customers to order from each of the brands in one place.
A 31-metre digital banner – one of the longest in Europe – uses “colourful” displays to showcase menu options to passengers.
According to Ronan Fitzsimons, general manager Commercial at Dublin Airport, said: “Passengers travelling through Dublin Airport now have even more choice when it comes to grabbing a pre-flight meal or drink. The opening of these 6 new fantastic offerings comes at a good time as we enter the second half of the peak summer period, with around 2 million passengers set to depart from Dublin Airport over the next weeks.
“From listening to customer feedback, we know passengers want variety at a range of price options and that’s exactly what these new offerings in The Mezz provide. We’re delighted to be working with SSP and many fantastic Irish brands in Camile Thai, Handsome Burger, Badger & Dodo and Cloud Picker Coffee. The even better news for passengers is that we’re working hard to improve the food and beverage offering in both terminals at Dublin Airport even more, ensuring travellers have a fantastic experience when going through Dublin Airport. Passengers can look forward to more new outlets opening very soon.”
Kari Daniels, CEO SSP UK and Ireland, added: “At SSP, we take great pride in meeting and exceeding our customers’ needs. These new units represent the best of Dublin, from local flavours to innovative brand favourites, providing a truly authentic F&B experience for travellers coming through the international travel hub that is Dublin Airport.
“The digital solutions we’ve developed for The Mezz will allow guests to easily access items across a number of excellent F&B offerings in one place, which we think will be particularly well-received by families and groups travelling together, as we’ll offer something for everyone, no matter their preference.”
