Many of us find ourselves in search of a bite to eat before boarding a flight. And ideally, we want to it to be tasty and filling. We’ve rounded up five places to eat at Dulles International Airport that offer satisfying meals and quick bites before you take off.
Ben’s Chili Bowl
Stop by Ben’s Chili Bowl in the morning for a breakfast burrito, hot cakes, or a cheese omelet — and any other time of day get the classic chili dog. Vegetarian options are available, and don’t forget the side order of cheese fries and a vanilla milkshake. Post-security, Concourse B, B73
Cava
When you’re short on time, nothing will hit the spot like Cava’s falafel pita sandwich, complete with salt-brined pickles, cabbage slaw, and a garlic-infused dressing. Be sure to complete your meal with their house-made hummus and pita chips. Post-security, Concourse B, Gate B62
Gatsby
This 1920s-themed restaurant and bar offers both sit-down dining and a grab-and-go counter. If you have time, dive into their spinach and artichoke dip, salads, burgers, and fries. And if you happen to be there at breakfast time, they have a great egg and cheese croissant sandwich. Post-security, Concourse C, C22
Fiolina
This charming Fiola outpost offers many of the Italian gems the Fiola restaurants are famous for, including Tuscan tomato soup, goat cheese ravioli, tiramisu, and a great wine list. They open early for breakfast, with offerings such as spinach and goat cheese frittata and pancakes with peach relish. A grab-n-go section offers salads and sandwiches. Post-security, Concourse A, Gate A23
Rappahannock Oyster Bar
At Rappahannock Oyster Bar, you can feast on raw oysters paired with champagne to your heart’s content. Or indulge in a fry basket, shrimp and grits, or a fried-oyster po boy. Breakfast options include avocado toast and a bagel platter. Post-security, Concourse B, Gate B37
