SSP’s new food court includes brands such as Bastard Burgers, Fafa’s, Asian Corner and Robert’s Coffee

SSP Finland will open a food court in the gate area of Helsinki Airport in collaboration with Finavia. The food court will be opened in early summer 2023.

The food court consist of six different restaurants, including the Swedish hamburger chain Bastard Burgers, which, in collaboration with SSP, is opening its second restaurant in Finland. The other new restaurants are Fafa’s, Robert’s Coffee, Pala Pizza Bar, Asian Corner and Tori Kitchen & Café.

“We believe that our passengers will be delighted with the food court’s wide range of restaurants. Our goal is to increase the supply of affordable hot food and easily portable products.”

“SSP Finland specialises in developing and operating different types of food and beverage concepts and brands in a fast-paced tourism environment. We recognise the various needs of air passengers and the food court’s wide range of restaurants will surely have something for everyone,” says Elena Heiska, Managing Director of Select Service Partner Finland Oy.

According to Heiska, special attention has been paid to the speed of service and to serving passengers round the clock. All meals can also be taken on board flights.

Favourite kitchens tailored for passengers
In addition to Fafa’s, Bastard Burgers and the Finnish family company Robert’s Coffee, SSP will open three restaurants and cafés tailored to the needs of passengers at Helsinki Airport: Asian Corner, Pala Pizza Bar and Tori Kitchen & Café.

“Our restaurant Asian Corner brings under one kitchen the experience of the best and most colourful food stalls in Asia without limiting itself to any particular Asian food genre. The secret of the pizza served by Pala Pizza Bar lies in its dough: the dough is made at the restaurant with Finnish flour and allowed to rest for at least 48 hours. The pizza experience is crowned by a perfect tomato sauce and high-quality toppings.”

“At Tori Kitchen & Café, we have carefully selected the best Finnish favourites in accordance with our principles of serving honest, sustainable and handmade food. Tori’s breakfast menu includes slow-cooked porridge made with organic Finnish oats. All pastries – including Tori’s signature product, a freshly baked doughnut – are baked at our own bakery at the airport.”

“We are very excited about our new restaurants and new partnerships. We can’t wait to open our new restaurants in the heart of the revamped Helsinki Airport,” Heiska adds.
