The Gorgeous Kitchen at Heathrow Airport, London, operated by HMSHost, is number 1 of the 35 best restaurants at airports worldwide. The ranking was compiled by The Daily Meal, along with CNN, Conde Nast Travelers and Travel Channel.
The Daily Meal is so particularly impressed with The Gorgeous Kitchen because of the light modern dishes that the four British female chefs – Gee Charman, Sophie Michell, Jo Pratt and Caroline Mi Li Artiss – have composed in co-ordination with the HMSHost culinary team. “Try kedgeree or a full English breakfast in the mornings, crab with lemon mayonnaise sandwiches or wheat-free pistachio cake for afternoon tea, or pea and mint soup with crème fraiche and pea shoots or pan-fried sea bass with sautéed leeks and garlic cream sauce for lunch or dinner.”
Gee Charman: “It’s so exciting to be recognised for putting great food into an airport environment. A visit to The Gorgeous Kitchen really is a great start to a holiday or business trip where good food rules the day. What an honour to be named as the best airport restaurant in the world.”
“We are very proud to have been recognized as the best airport restaurant in the world. The Gorgeous Kitchen is a welcome addition to the airport environment. The intimate design, the exhibition cooking, and innovative menu complement the impeccable and warm hospitality, all blending to create a one-of-a-kind journey for the travellers at Heathrow Terminal 2,” said Walter Seib, CEO of HMSHost International.
The quality spot
Specialising in beautiful global cuisine made utilising British-grown produce, The Gorgeous Kitchen is the quality spot to the airport dining scene at the Queen’s Terminal at Heathrow, serving quick, wholesome and seasonal dishes throughout the day in an elegant and contemporary space.
With an open theatre kitchen, counter dining, banquette seating and sweeping airfield views to match the subtle halo lighting and textured interior palette that is lifted with copper accents, the 120-cover restaurant offers a sanctuary for Terminal 2’s departing passengers, inviting business men and women, families and solo travellers alike.
