DENMARK. Copenhagen Airports is hosting a pop-up restaurant that it hopes will get passengers talking over the next month, as part of the city-wide Copenhagen Cooking food festival.
Hallo Hello, operated by food & beverage operator SSP and entrepreneurs Lasse Askov and Bo Lindegaard (founders of social dining concept I’m A Kombo), has been specifically designed for the airport with guests challenged to share tables with strangers.
A tray presented by the waiter will serve as a table top for the food that guests will share, with the last course served in a goodie bag that passengers can take with them on their journey.
The three-course menu has yet to be revealed, but will focus on seasonal ingredients with a choice of meat or fish options. The restaurant will be situated just outside the main duty free store and will offer meals for DKK250 (US$44.50) and all drinks for DKK50 (US$8.90).

“We know that one in two passengers travels alone,” explained Copenhagen Airports E-Commerce & Marketing Director Karen Bender. “That gives us a unique opportunity to give these people an experience they can share with a person they don’t know and take happy memories with them.”
Lasse Askov and Bo Lindegaard added: “The objective is to establish a dialogue between two travellers who would otherwise never have talked with each other. Hopefully, they will take this mood along to their flight and when they travel into the world.”
Hallo Hello will run from 19 August to 14 September.
