Restaurants & cafés
Restaurants & cafés in exhibition halls
Eat longer rather than walk longer. Hunger is intense. The Fairgrounds are large. And you already have covered quite a distance walking today. So we cut your way short and help you find a restaurant where you are.
Just look to see where you are. For a quick overview we have organized the different restaurants by exhibition halls / buildings and levels. On top of that, we have added a brief description of each location, the opening hours and whether it’s self-service, service or a restaurant with a terrace.
