Belfast International Airport’s new Northern Quarter has been officially opened, following a £1m investment to replace the old food court with a premium 180-seat restaurant, a fully serviced bar, and a dedicated Bewley’s coffee dock.
The investment by hospitality partner Mount Charles forms a key part of the airport’s wider £100m transformation programme.
The refurbishment has replaced the former traditional food court with a modernized, premium hospitality area:
- Northern Quarter Bar & Kitchen: A single, high-end 180-seat restaurant and bar.
- New Menu: Offers a variety of options including traditional breakfast items, burgers, sharing plates, and “Wee Burgers” (e.g., Bushmills Glazed Fried Chicken).
- Fully Serviced Bar: Features local draught beers, spirits, an extensive wine collection, and a Whiskey Tasting Board with local distilleries like Hinch and Titanic.
- Bewley’s Coffee Dock: A dedicated area for high-quality coffee and beverages.
- Non-Alcoholic Options: Includes 0.0% alternatives such as Guinness and Heineken.
Location is airside, after security and opening Hours: Monday to Sunday, 04:00 – 22:00. The project has created 40 new jobs, doubling Mount Charles’ on-site team to 80 employees.
This development is part of the ongoing effort by VINCI Airports to modernize the terminal, which also recently included a new £25m security building with 3D scanning technology to improve passenger flow.
