Four food counters, one shared seating area in T1
On the upper level of T1 departures, airside, Market Square works like a mini food court instead of a single restaurant. Lizarrán, Pasta City, Sushi & More and Bértiz all face into one shared seating zone, so a group can sit together while each orders from a different counter. It’s in the main departures lounge after security, so you don’t need to leave the gate area to eat.
Prices sit in the mid-range ($$), higher than Burger King downstairs but still airport–casual: think pasta bowls, basic sushi sets and tapas plates rather than full restaurant mains. A common pattern: one person grabs a tortilla or pintxos from Lizarrán, another orders a salmon roll from Sushi & More, and someone else goes for carbonara at Pasta City. Bértiz covers coffee, pastries and basic sandwiches if you just want a quick bite and a drink.
Open in sync with T1’s main departure banks, Market Square typically serves from early morning check-in through the last evening flights; if Burger King is open, this usually is too. Travellers calling out “something a little healthier” than burgers tend to end up here, picking sushi or salads over fries. Quality matches the 2/5 overall rating: fine for a pre-flight fill, but expectations should sit closer to mall food court than city restaurant.
Regulars on independent guides use Market Square when travelling in mixed groups so nobody has to split up to eat; one review mentions pasta, sushi and tapas all landing on the same table before an afternoon departure. Service speed varies by counter, with Pasta City and Lizarrán usually moving faster than Sushi & More at peak times. Watch out for limited power outlets around the shared seating; tables are for eating, not working.
Practical tip: walk the full square first, decide which of the four counters you want, then grab a table before you queue to avoid wandering with a tray during busy departures.
