NORTH AMERICA. More than 50 restaurants across dozens of North American airports are participating in the latest edition of HMSHost’s Airport Restaurant Month.
Airport Restaurant Month is a travel-customised version of the popular street-side restaurant week concept.
HMSHost said its culinary team have created a single-plated seasonally inspired menu designed specifically with a traveller’s need for speed of service in mind.
Menus vary by restaurant. Some of the highlights include:
- Roasted Chicken Breast with basil pesto and sage chicken jus, roasted mushrooms, asparagus, and butternut squash puree.
- Grilled Pesto Shrimp Wrap with baby kale, roasted mushrooms, butternut squash puree, peppers, and asparagus.
- Vegetarian Flatbread topped with basil pesto, goat cheese, butternut squash puree, tomato compote and sunflower seeds.
- Seared Salmon topped with basil pesto and a butternut squash puree.
- Better Than Bacon Burger topped with fontina cheese and bacon tomato compote.
“Airport Restaurant Month delivers a distinctive dining experience, taking travellers on a culinary trip of flavours before they even take off,” said HMSHost Vice President of Marketing Atousa Ghoreichi. “This month, our chefs were inspired by autumn ingredients that resulted in a creative menu that is sure to add comfort to your travel journey.”
HMSHost’s sommeliers have matched suggested wines with each dish. The suggestions aim to balance the flavour characteristics of each dish with the flavour profile of the wine.
Travellers at US airport restaurants can also enjoy the Airport Restaurant Month cocktail – Temptation. It features Templeton Rye whiskey, a touch of Malbec, along with maple syrup, fresh lemon and grape.
