Near Terminal 1 security, Sous le Grill is the airport’s sit‑down steak stop
In Terminal 1 airside, Sous le Grill focuses on grilled meat and burgers, so think French brasserie basics rather than quick takeaway. You’re past security, so it works for Schengen departures out of T1 with at least 45–60 minutes before boarding. Decor leans to open kitchen and counter seating, which makes solo dining less awkward than a full white-tablecloth place.
Menu boards list classic steak-frites, burgers, and a couple of chicken and fish options, with mains generally in the €16–€25 range. Add about €4–€6 if you want dessert like crème brûlée or a chocolate fondant. Portions run larger than the cold sandwich spots in the same terminal, so plan on a proper meal rather than a 10‑minute bite.
Beer, wine, and soft drinks all sit around the €5–€8 mark, with a glass of house red usually the safest bet with steak. Coffee is espresso‑focused, roughly €2–€3, cheaper than what you’ll pay at some branded chains in Terminal 2. There’s tap water on request, so you don’t have to buy another €3 bottle if you’re just sitting in.
Service speed depends heavily on time of day: around 12:00–14:00 and 18:30–20:30, plan on 40 minutes for a full starter‑main or burger‑and‑dessert sequence. Outside those windows, a burger and fries can hit the table in about 15–20 minutes. If your flight boards from a remote gate in T1, pad in an extra 10 minutes for the walk.
The safe order here is straightforward: steak‑frites cooked medium or a basic cheeseburger, plus a glass of wine. Skip anything that sounds too elaborate for an airport kitchen with a rush, and check the printed daily special before defaulting to the most expensive cut on the menu. Tip: grab a counter stool facing the grill if you want the staff to keep an eye on your boarding time and give you a heads‑up when you need to move.
