NEW FOOD AREA
On 25 October 2023, IFEMA Madrid unveiled its spectacular new food court with 32 restaurants and terraces that will serve the more than 3.7 million visitors it receives each year and will position the institution as a major food hub in Madrid.
This new food court project is managed by the Spanish multinational company Areas. Through it, IFEMA is making a qualitative leap in its culinary offer with an innovative model that is committed to serving a wide variety of healthy options, including major national, Asian, Tex-Mex and Latin American chains (Aloha Poke, Rodilla, Mahou, Tim Hortons, Udon, Telepizza, Santa Gloria, MásQmenos, etc.), as it strives to improve the quality of food and drink available on site. All in a comfortable and attractive space, without having to leave the centre.
The renovation project includes the creation of a "Food Avenue", featuring a selection of 12 brands that represent the diversity of the current food offer. In a second stage, which will be implemented in a few months, indoor restaurants will be set up in each pavilion, with a design inspired by the concept of terraces and gardens, which highlight the presence of natural light and offer open spaces out towards the rear courtyards. In addition, in this later phase, haute cuisine restaurants will be added, such as the Gastrohub, with dishes devised by chef Nino Redruello. This expanded offer will also include the new restaurant owned by the Saona group, specialising in Mediterranean cuisine, which will serve the IFEMA Madrid convention centre.
