Passengers traveling through the Bahrain International Airport now have a good reason to smack their lips with delight. The airport restaurant (branded Sky Restaurant & Sky Bar) is open after undergoing a 1 million Dollar renovation.

Located on the 4th floor, the Sky Restaurant and Sky Bar is the ideal venue to escape from the buzz of activities at the airport. The interiors of the Sky Restaurant and Bar have been styled in contemporary fashion with modern furniture, ambient lighting and well appointed fixtures. Travelers with time to spare can now enjoy a meal or a drink in a relaxed, quiet and unhurried environment. As the restaurant overlooks the runway, guests are also afforded spectacular views of landings and take offs.

With a capacity to hold 250 person (stretchable up to 280), the Sky Restaurant also has a separate fine dining area which can hold up to 25 people. The fine dining area is a preferred haunt for frequent business travelers who appreciate the settings, food and ambience. Tables may also be reserved in advanced in this area.

The Sky Restaurant's cuisine is a mix of International and Arabic. Under the creative guidance of the New Executive Chef , Robert Peachy, a lot of new dishes have been added on to the elaborate menu, while retaining popular dishes from the old menu.

The restaurant also has two separate enclosures for families who seek privacy while dining. The Restaurant and Bar can be accessed through the elevator behind the Duty Free Traditional Souk.

The Sky Restaurant and Bar are smoker friendly and is manned by a 40 strong staff. It is operated and managed by the Bahrain Airport Services.
