Visitors to this year’s ACI EUROPE Airport Trading Conference and Exhibition will be among the first to be able to visit SSP’s newly opened cafés and restaurants at Oslo Airport.
Le Grand Comptoir is the first à la carte restaurant at the airport, and offers a range of French classic dishes. Among the specialities prepared by talented young chef Christer Rødset and his  team are bouillabaisse flavoured with saffron and star anise, and slow-cooked lamb shank. A ten-minute serving guarantee on selected dishes means that passengers with limited time can enjoy the highest quality food, without having to worry about missing their flight.

Colourful plates of food are displayed on a traditional ‘kaiten’ conveyor belt, and those who have little time can quickly select a dish of sashimi or nigiri, while those who want a hot meal can choose chicken katsu curry, prawn tempura, or vegetable firecracker rice among other dishes prepared freshly in the on-site kitchen.
The new Starbucks, which is the first in Norway, has been attracting considerable attention since its planned arrival was announced last autumn. The new coffee shop has proven popular with passengers and staff at the airport, as well as attracting a new following of customers visiting the terminal specifically to enjoy ‘the Starbucks experience’. All three of the new brands are trading at least 50% above target.
Upper Crust was already a firm favourite at the terminal – bread is a key part of the diet in Norway, and the bakery brand has always had a loyal following at Oslo Airport. The new interpretation of the brand is also trading strongly, with sales growth in double digits.
These new openings are part of a major renovation project, which is expected to be completed by the end of this year. The new openings follow the signing of an agreement last summer which awarded SSP a five-year contract to operate 30 outlets across the terminal. The deal has been described as the largest in the airport food and beverage sector.
