GERMANY. Frankfurt Airport yesterday (31 March) reopened its Terminal 2 Food Plaza following a seven-month renovation and redesign project.
Located on Level 4 of the terminal, the major food & beverage area is also home to McDonald’s flagship restaurant at Frankfurt Airport and the brand’s largest in Europe. It seats 650 guests and features a McCafé and a children’s playground. Innovations include digital menu boards located in the restaurant and café, easy-order terminals, plus table service that McDonald’s will be offering for the first time in Germany.
Fraport Executive Board Chairman Dr. Stefan Schulte said: “We are particularly honoured that McDonald’s is launching its new concept here at Frankfurt Airport. We can look back on the successful partnership with McDonald’s that has evolved and flourished for more than two decades. Together, we are we are starting a new chapter at Germany’s largest international aviation hub.”

Holger Beeck, Chairman of McDonald’s Germany Inc. added: “We are very pleased to be reopening our fourth location at Frankfurt Airport. This restaurant is particularly special for us because it launches our future direction here in Germany.

Along with McDonald’s and McCafé, the Food Plaza offers two other new food & beverage concepts: an Italian-style restaurant called Vito, and Ludwigs for German specialties.
The children’s play area at the Terminal 2 Food Fair has also been redesigned with a larger climbing and playing and area with large rocket and slide. The play area is situated between the McDonald’s restaurant and McCafé.
Accessed via the Food Fair, Fraport’s Visitors’ Terrace is also being restyled with a “modern and more welcoming reception area,” said the company. The outdoor Visitors Terrace has also been partially renovated, with a 700sq m area that sports new flooring. This renovated area of the Visitors’ Terrace is expected to reopen to the public later in April.
