Top 10 airport restaurants in the world 2013

Le Sommelier is described as the big brother and airport outpost of the city’s downtown location, which serves classic French dishes like Mallard duck and black currant sauce, bouillabaisse, moules marinières and creme brulee.

Globetrotting editors judged the restaurants based on cuisine, style, decor and service.

The list is dominated by US airport restaurants and is a mix of high-end fine dining restaurants and gourmet fast food joints like Shake Shack at the John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York and Salt Lick BBQ at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.

Editors also placed high importance on local, fresh, sustainable foods — an emerging trend at airports around the world — as the Napa Farms Market in San Francisco placed fourth on the list.
