UK. Italian-American restaurant chain Frankie & Benny’s has opened a new eatery in Bristol Airport’s departure lounge.
It is offering a full menu from breakfast to lunch and dinner, specialising in food inspired by New York Italian cuisine. There are also gluten free options, a full cocktail and bar range and children’s meals.

Bristol Airport Head of Commercial Development Kate Ridgers said: “We are delighted Frankie & Benny’s restaurant has opened at Bristol Airport. After market research and passenger feedback we know passengers start their trip as soon as they arrive at the airport.
“We wanted to offer an extended choice of menu to all passengers ahead of boarding their flight, providing a great place to relax and dine in an exciting new environment.”

Passenger traffic is growing at Bristol Airport, which has invested more than £225 million (US$292.75 million) in new infrastructure and facilities, including food and beverage, since 2010.
It is the ninth largest airport in the UK and the fifth largest outside London.
