Gate-side in T1, Snack Bar is 24/7 and basic
In Terminal T1 before security, Snack Bar runs 24/7 and sticks to the essentials: sandwiches, quiche slices, mini pizzas, and basic snacks. It sits in the pre-security zone where there are two similar counters in T1, so you can grab food even if check-in isn’t open yet. Prices sit in the low “$” tier for the airport, and a simple order runs you around €6–€10.
This is a Snack Bar · Fast Food setup, not a sit-down restaurant, with a 3.5 rating that tracks with what regulars say about Beauvais: small airport, functional food. Expect cold options in the case plus a few items that staff can heat, but nothing close to a full hot meal. If you need something slightly more substantial than crisps and candy, the Club Sandwich is the move.
Post-security in T1 there’s one more counter focused on cold sandwiches and salads, so if security is busy you don’t lose all food access once you head airside. That airside spot keeps similar pricing and stock, so you’re not punished for waiting until after passport control. Still, choice stays narrow: think pre-made baguette, plastic box salad, canned drink.
Regulars on Beauvais threads talk about arriving only 1–1.5 hours before flights outside summer, treating Snack Bar as a quick stop, not a time-killer. With the airport this small, most people grab a sandwich or mini pizza and eat near their gate rather than staking out a table. The upside: even in a crunch, you can usually be in and out in under 10 minutes.
Practical tip: if your flight timing lands near meal hours, eat properly in Paris and use Snack Bar for a backup Club Sandwich or drink top-up, not your main dinner plan.
