Zak’s Diner founder John Borsten said: “Opening at YOW feels like a natural next chapter. We’re excited to bring our locally world-famous hospitality to the airport and keep the tradition alive for the next generation of travellers.”
The new site features retro-inspired design elements, including neon signage, bar seating, patio-style tables and a classic-car-themed installation.
SSP Canada development vice-president Jennifer Juul said: “Zak’s is one of those rare brands that feels instantly familiar and unmistakably local at the same time. It has the warmth, humour and staying power of a true Ottawa institution, and that makes it a perfect fit for YOW.
“We’re proud to partner with Ottawa International Airport Authority and the Zak’s team to bring travellers an experience that is generous, spirited and rooted in place — the kind of airport dining people actually look forward to.”
In April, SSP Group launched a new restaurant concept, Flax & Soda, at Belfast International Airport in Northern Ireland.
The casual dining outlet is located at the centre of the airport’s revamped departures area and can accommodate approximately 280 diners.
