Airport Food Halls

This Helsinki Airport Restaurant is Almost a Vacation in Itself

This Helsinki Airport restaurant and food court is an expertly designed take on pre-flight dining. Designed by Finnish interiors firm Amerikka, the space is defined by its stunning bar, elegant color scheme and geometric layout.

The Cesar's Little Italy restaurant likely appears different than any airport food court or eatery you have experienced. The food hall boasts a gold, yellow, mint green and steel grey color palate with sketched diagrams of some of the ingredients present on the tiled walls.

As far as airport dining goes, this is definitely a progression away from the dismal McDonald's lineup that often beckons a tired traveler on their way to a gate. If you are lucky enough to be traveling through the Helsinki airport, keep an eye out for this contemporary food hall experience.
