Sometimes a traveler can use a tranquil oasis at the airport. Although, I have to admit, I found Flughafen München to be a very easy experience as a visitor. Flying on Lufthansa, everything was streamlined for the ease and comfort of the visitor. But since I observe the 2-hour check-in rule, I had time to enjoy a meal.
There are several options in Terminal 2, many of them focused on the meat and potatoes dishes that are key components in Bavarian cuisine. So it was nice to stumble upon Bistro Organic as an alternative. This "bio" cafe (German version of organic) offers the farm-to-table experience with salads, smoothies, fruit and drinks all packaged to-go, without any additives or preservatives.
You can take you meal to the gate, hop on your plane, or dine-in at their zen space. Bistro Organic has a little more flair than your average airport space with Asian lanterns and an open plan with different seating options. There are several tables on either side of a long eating bar, with what I first assumed was an aquarium. No fish, just a tank percolating with green bubbles.
After so many heavy meals in Munich, it was nice to have some lighter options as I was departing. The dining room was also quieter than the other dining options in the terminal. Ohmmm. read more
