London’s Heathrow Airport is one of the busiest international airports on the planet. With all those hungry passengers filtering through day and night, it’s not surprising that this transportation hub is brimming with restaurants and cafes that cater to a wide range of travelers’ tastes. Sure, there are plenty of familiar fast food options. But sometimes you want a better dining experience, whether to please the palate or just to kill time. If you’re catching a flight, picking someone up at the airport or returning to the UK after a trip, here are 10 of the best places to grab a bite in Heathrow.
1. Cafe Rouge
Catching a flight to France by chance? Get in the bon voyage mood by dining at CafĂ© Rouge on the Departures level in Terminal Four. This Parisian-styled eatery offers delectable meals like steak frites and duck confit. You can also enjoy lighter fare by ordering a fresh baguette and a dish of olives before your flight. If you’re meeting someone at the airport, stop in for a cocktail and relax in the French-inspired setting. It’s located before security, so even non-travelers can pop in.
