Qatar Duty Free (QDF), in partnership with HMSHost International - a leading provider of dining experiences for travel venues - has announced the opening of two new restaurants in the North Node of Hamad International Airport (HIA).

Burger Federation, a casual dining concept, opened its doors to travellers in the North Node of HIA’s main terminal serving burgers that have been reinvented as contemporary gourmet cuisine. HMSHost responded to customers’ growing demand for high-quality meat, serving both locally and internationally-inspired burgers made from premium angus beef and the finest fresh toppings.

Guests will also be welcomed at Spizzico, a quick-service, contemporary bread and pizza bakery offering a wide assortment of gourmet pizzas, freshly baked paninis, pastries and salads.
