I was promptly escorted to the lounge, and asked to give my passport to clear all the formalities. I will get it back when going out. Smooth experience. I had about 4 hours to spend, which was quite a time. Unfortunately, I also had some work to finish, so I spent 1st hour on this, sipping smoothie and an espresso, which was quite surprising for the staff, as I was asked like every 10 minutes if I'm sure that I don't want anything more.



As you may guess, we are in place, where drink list should not be short.



After finishing my work, it was time to check the content of this ice bucket

Cigar lounge with separate self-serve bar




After testing another champagne, it was time for a breakfast, so let's go to the restaurant section.








Of course, this is not the whole menu, just some part of it. Glass of rose champagne to start, because why not



And a beef tartare to start. Nice flavors, quite big chunks, so texture was there.




For the main breakfast course I went with the steak (asked for medium and medium it was) with a glass of Bordeaux. Steak was great, wine was nothing to tell about.




Time for a shower. Nothing fancy, no potions and lotions. Rather effective place to refresh before the flight.



Just before leaving the lounge, I thought that it would be a real insult to not check the whisky list. So, quick sampling, and off to the gate.



I got my passport back, and it was about 10 minutes walk to the gates. Yes, gates, as boarding was scheduled to be done via 3 gates. Hello, big whale!
