SSP launches star chef resto at Frankfurt Central Station
SSP Group has unveiled today a new culinary partnership with German TV chef Steffen Henssler and his brother Peter Henssler to launch a restaurant, Ahoi steffen henssler, at Frankfurt Central Station.
The concept marks the first travel retail venture for the Henssler brothers who operate the Ahoi steffen henssler restaurant in Hamburg. The outlet at Frankfurt Central Station is located in the pavilion next to platforms 18 and 19, with indoor seating for 26 guests and an outdoor deck that seats 16 more. The menu offers regional cuisine with an emphasis on fish dishes and seafood, including sushi bowls, fish and chips, shrimp and chips and sandwiches.
“Guests can enjoy their meal in the restaurant’s seating area or order dishes for takeaway for their onward journey,” said Steffen Henssler in today’s release from SSP Group. “We’re sure it will be well-received by travelers at Frankfurt Central Station and will fit the location well.”
“Ahoi is one of our latest additions and its urban and maritime store design, as well as its culinary offering make it a real stand-out name,” said Jan Kamp, Director of Busineness Development & Properties at SSP DACH. “The Henssler brothers have brought an individual touch to the concept, and together we have adapted this to fit the requirements of food service in the travel environment. The restaurant will undoubtedly be a flagship selling point for Frankfurt Central Station.”
SSP now operates seven food and beverage units at Frankfurt Central Station and Steffen Henssler is one of the many chefs whom the food and beverage operator has partnered with around the globe. Others on the roster are Alvin Leung in Hong Kong, Paul Wahlberg in Canada and the US, Michel Roth in France, the Torres Brothers in Spain and world-renowned names such as Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver.
