FAB Awards: Food Hall of the Year – Airport ≥20 million passengers finalists

SPAIN. With The 2025 Airport Food and Beverage (FAB) + Hospitality Conference & Awards approaching fast, The Moodie Davitt Report is delighted to reveal the finalists in another highly popular category – Food Hall of the Year – Airport ≥20 million passengers.

The 2025 Award winners will be revealed at the FAB 2025 Gala Dinner in Barcelona on 26 June.

There are 23 categories in this year’s FAB Awards, which attracted a record-breaking number of entries. There will also be additional special judges’ awards.

Commenting on the latest shortlist, The Moodie Davitt Report Chairman and Founder of the FAB Awards Martin Moodie said: “Whatever the parlance, food halls or courts represent to me the ultimate democratisation of airport food & beverage. But the implicit concept of ‘something for everyone’ should never be dumbed down to ‘anything for everyone’.

“In fact, I would contend that it is airport food courts/halls that most make or break an airport’s reputation for the quality vs value relationship and for caring about the travelling consumer.

“This year’s finalists represent an eclectic mix of offers, environments and philosophies and, interestingly, the highest average score of any category. We talk about photo-finishes in horse racing; well the FAB Food Hall of the Year – Airport ≥20M passengers category requires a panoramic shot. That’s how close the contest is between the top contenders.”
