New restaurants at Pearson

Four restaurants have opened at Pearson Airport. Vinifera is now open in Terminal1, Nobel Burger Bar in Terminal 3. Two more openings follow later this month in Terminal 3: Corso and a second Heirloom Bakery & Café location.

Serving Terminal 3, Nobel Burger Bar, features so-called “gourmet” burgers. The restaurant has been created by Toronto chef Mark McEwan. Passengers can build their own burger or choose from a menu. There’s an open kitchen in the centre of the restaurant. Also located in Terminal 3, Corso is a trattoria featuring traditional Italian cuisine with a modern twist. The menu, developed by Chef Rocco Agostino, highlights rustic Italian flavours and features fresh-made pastas, pizzas, salads and antipasti. Chef Agostino’s Pizzeria Libretto and Enoteca Sociale restaurants are a feature of the Toronto dining scene. At Terminal 1is Vinifera, a wine bar. Sommelier John Szabo has worked on the wine list. The menu features small plates, salads and paninis with fresh ingredients. A second location will open in Terminal 3 later this year. Heirloom Bakery Café, which operates at Terminal 1, will open a second location in Terminal 3 this month. The restaurant serves entrées including soups, salads, sandwiches and baked goods. The restaurants join Mark McEwan’s Fetta Panini Bar and Toronto brewer Brock Shepherd’s Apropos, which opened earlier this year in Terminal 1.

The new restaurants offer travellers access to Apple iPads. Menus are available in 20 languages. Food orders can be made on the iPads. Dishes are then prepared and delivered to the customer’s seat in 15 minutes or less. The iPads are also available to all passengers to browse the web and stay updated on real-time flight information.
