Hans im Glück #14

Best for
Travelers near Gate K18

Inside Terminal 2’s satellite building near Gate K18, Hans im Glück offers a full sit-down burger stop with direct views across the airfield. The setting works particularly well for travelers who want a proper meal rather than a quick counter snack.

Beyond burgers, the menu covers fresh salads and smaller plates, with coffee, beer and cocktails available. It serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, while also accommodating solo diners, making it flexible for different flight schedules and appetites. The physical menu may be German-only, and the wording of set-menu combinations can make the final price less obvious.

Its strongest draw is therefore the runway-facing setting and broad daylong format.

Caffè Vergnano #15

The restaurant covers breakfast and lunch, with quick bites and small plates available for either dining in or taking away. That flexibility suits a solo pause between stages of a journey as well as a faster grab-and-go visit when time is limited. Coffee remains the anchor, but beer and cocktails broaden its use later in the day. The combination of its Airport Center location, dine-in service and a takeaway option makes the format adaptable to early departures, late arrivals and irregular connections.
