Passengers flying from Dublin Airport have a striking new wine and food bar to sample as SSP Group has opened The Reserve in Terminal 2. Located in the centre of the main terminal concourse, The Reserve becomes one of Dublin Airport’s most premium F&B offers with a curated selection of wines alongside an all-day dining menu. With an elegant bar and contemporary brass-finished central gantry, it is designed to provides a haven of calm and class within a bustling airport environment to relax, indulge and celebrate in before take-off.
“The Reserve is another great addition to Terminal 2 and offers even more choice for passengers travelling this summer,” said Aileen Dautry, Head of Food and Beverage, Dublin Airport. “We’ve listened closely to passenger feedback, and we know that the option of a premium bar, with great food and drinks on offer, is wanted and we think passengers are going to love the end result. We look forward to working with the SSP team to make this another flying success at Dublin Airport.”
The comprehensive wine list has 16 varieties from around the world, including one from Irish winemakers Château Puynard, and is accompanied with detailed tasting notes to enhance the overall customer experience. Classic cocktails, spirits, draught and bottled beers and Guinness join non-alcoholic, soft and hot drinks. Meanwhile, the extensive food menu features lighter bite and hot breakfast items. There is also a range of premium open sandwiches, salads and grazing plates, including charcuterie, cheese and seafood options, and desserts. SSP’s chefs have also hand-selected a range of cheeses from local suppliers to assemble an Irish artisan cheese plate as the perfect accompaniment to The Reserve’s wine range.
“For many passengers, travelling by air remains an experience which warrants treating yourself to an extra special bite to eat or glass of bubbles to kickstart the journey in style,” said Lauren Wood, Director of Brand and Business Development, SSP UK & Ireland. “The Reserve, with its exquisite service, food and wines delivered in a sophisticated setting, certainly delivers on that and our mission to be the best part of the journey. A 50-cover fine-wine and dining bar, The Reserve complements our portfolio of bars and quick service restaurants at Dublin Airport perfectly, and I’m sure any visit there will live long in the memory for all the right reasons.”
