It comes shortly after the airport made another huge announcement, in a major boost for jetsetters.
Dublin Airport has announced the opening of a new cafe in Terminal 2 – and it has a diverse range of selections to grab.
The new cafe, Fruitality, offers healthy food options, specialist smoothies and hot food to grab on the go.
The new food outlet is located at Terminal 2’s airside and serves delicious hot breakfasts, salads, porridge, acai bowls and fresh smoothies.
Taking to X, Dublin Airport said: ““More healthy options” … “a place to get smoothies in T2” … “açai bowls” …
“You told us, we listened and now it’s here!
“Fruitality – located airside in Terminal 2 – is now fully open, selling everything from smoothies and sandwiches to pasta dishes and porridge.”
The post shared a video of the new food outlet with classic interiors that make you feel cosy despite being in one of the busiest areas of Dublin Airport.
There are indoor dining areas, take-as-you-go shelves with ready-made meals, a counter offering many types of acai bowls, a barista, a smoothie specialist and access to the bathrooms.
They are also serving a fresh range of pastries.
Passengers were left shocked by the new arrival of the food outlet and said that they ‘can’t wait to try it out’ when they passed through Terminal 2.
Meanwhile, Ireland’s top airport recently revealed a new hotel will be opening in the next two years.
