Gate-side in T2, Sandwicherie is the grab-and-go option.
Sandwicherie sits in Terminal T2 at Brussels South Charleroi Airport, post-security, so you can pick something up after clearing checks and head straight to your gate. It’s a simple counter setup aimed at quick bites before short-haul low-cost flights. Expect pre-made sandwiches, pastries, and drinks rather than a full hot kitchen or table service.
Typical pricing runs in the €5–€8 range for a basic sandwich or baguette, with soft drinks and bottled water around €3–€4. You’ll see the usual airport mark-up, but it still lands under what you’d pay for a full sit-down meal in T1. Card payment is the norm here, and contactless usually works faster than chip-and-PIN when the line builds before a bank of departures.
Food is mostly cold: think ham-and-cheese, chicken, or vegetarian sandwiches, plus packaged snacks like crisps and chocolate bars. If your flight is under two hours, one sandwich and a drink from Sandwicherie is often enough to skip the buy-on-board menu entirely. Check the timestamps or freshness labels on pre-packed items and grab the ones from the most recent batch when there’s a choice.
Crowding hits hardest in T2 about 60–90 minutes before peak morning departures, so lines at Sandwicherie can form quickly around 06:30–08:00. Service stays straightforward, but there’s no real seating zone reserved for the counter, just the general gate seating nearby. If you need time to repack your bag or sort liquids, buy first, then move to the quieter seats farther from the doors to the boarding lanes.
Practical tip: if you care about sandwich choice rather than taking whatever’s left, stop by Sandwicherie as soon as you enter T2’s post-security area, then sit closer to your gate afterward.
