Avolta offers travelers a taste of Amsterdam in Schiphol's Lounge 1

Walter Seib, CEO Northern, Eastern and Central Europe, Avolta said: "We're very excited to open Salon to travelers, allowing them to experience a little piece of Amsterdam without even leaving the airport. We are proud to work alongside our longstanding partner, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, to help make the traveler's F&B experience a memorable one. I want to congratulate the local Avolta team who designed Salon to authentically reflect the open terraces and leaning canal houses in Amsterdam's center. Such unique concepts not only attract travelers but also create loyal customers who will revisit the next time they journey through the airport."

Tim de Bie, Sr. Manager Commercial Terminal Services Royal Schiphol Group said: "Over the coming years, Schiphol will continue to open new restaurants that improve the quality and diversity of our offering. Salon is a worthy replacement for Grand Café 't Paleis and I am sure it will become just as popular among our travelers. You still have a fantastic view of the planes here, but the flow to the border passage behind has been greatly improved at this new location."

Salon opens as part of a major redevelopment of Schiphol's Lounge 1, which introduces many new stores to address and exceed the changing expectations of travelers. Located in the heart of Lounge 1, where Avolta previously operated the iconic Grand Café 't Paleis and the Mediterranean Sandwich Bar, Salon has a combined capacity of more than 300 seats. At the Deli, guests can enjoy a range of artisan sandwiches, seasonal salads, quiches with local ingredients and bites. The Grand Café is a full service restaurant, with comfortable seating, an all-day menu and the convenience of ordering via QR code. Here guests can settle in for eggs at breakfast, and burgers, sandwiches, soups and more throughout the day, all with a distinctly Amsterdam accent. The Grand Café's bar accommodates approximately 14 guests.
