Celebrated another birthday dinner at Switch. Great company, delicious food, friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. The chicken tacos were packed with flavour! The nutella donuts were nice, but way too much for one person. Perfect to share between 3 people.

A hidden gem at the airport. Quiet, classy, affordable and away from the hustle and bustle in the terminals. Great way to spend an hour or two if 'waiting to fly' or meeting perhaps a delayed traveller.
