The opening of Heathrow Airport's new Terminal 5 may have been a bit of a fiasco, but British Airways did manage to get one thing right: the food options are strong, and aren't run by the baggage claim staff. Here are some spots to watch for on your next visit to the airport and the Sheraton Heathrow Hotel.
Chef Gordon Ramsay has brought some star power to the terminal with Plane Food, his bid to earn the first Michelin star for an airport restaurant. The menu is based on his popular Boxwood Café. The first review was mixed at best, hopefully the kitchen finds its feet before the review team shows up.
For high rollers, there are three Galleries Club lounges featuring Swarowski crystal chandeliers, champagne and art (see video) from British Airways' collection. On a less expensive note, there's an outpost of Apostrophe, the popular London sandwich mini-chain. Other options include Huxley's, a British brasserie-style venue, seafood bar Caviar House & Prunier, and V-Bar, a tapas and wine bar.
For those early morning flights, I suggest grabbing coffee and a pastry at Amato Bakery — where you can also order a custom cake and have it ready to pick up before your flight home. Or, if you've got the time, a "Quick English Breakfast" at 5 Tuns Pub will set you back just £4.95.
