See what's new in our Convention Cafes & Restaurants.
Fresh foods for a variety of tastes.
ARAMARK's recipe for successful Convention Cafes & Restaurants blends diversity, culinary innovation and strong sensory appeal. Our choices appeal to all tastes – from traditional favorites to health-conscious selections to local specialties – and to every price range.
All are designed to offer great food fast, so that guests can quickly return to the convention floor. Here are just a few of our restaurant concepts.
Cucina Rosso
Taking the perennial favorite, pizza, one step further Cucina Rosso is a fresh pizza station fashioned after Mediterranean-style cafés, with seasonal offerings that include deep dish, thin crust and vibrant flatbread pizza with robust spreads and seeded and herbed crusts. In addition, Cucina Rosso features creative menu items such as sautéed pasta specialties, garlic focaccia, Tuscan breadsticks, classic salads and Italian specialty sandwiches.
The Sandwich Company
Bread has become the most important part of any sandwich today. At the Sandwich Company, customers can choose from fresh baked French bread, focaccia, pita wraps or rye. Along with a wide selection of deli meats, customers can mix and match flavorful spreads such as pesto mayonnaise, roasted tomato horseradish sauce or sweet ‘n sour honey mustard. In addition, ARAMARK also features the Euro Baguette, its own line of pre-made European-style artisan sandwiches. With a choice of made-to-order or quick grab ‘n go favorites, customers will have the best of both worlds served in the colorful atmosphere of an authentic deli.
Shanghai Asian Fusion
Shanghai captures the essence of Pan Asian cooking with authentic menu choices from a variety of countries. The heart of the Shanghai concept is the Chinese combination meal of diverse selections, from rice bowls to spicy chicken, from egg rolls to stir fried noodles. Additionally, we offer guests options that extend beyond standard Chinese fare, with fresh sushi prepared in the Japanese tradition or a selection of Asian soups.
Crisp
Flavorful, eye-appealing ingredients combined with the fresh snap of green leaf lettuce and a tasty dressing provide
a light and satisfying
meal. Traditionalists might favor our grilled chicken Caesar salad, while
someone
wanting a bit of Florida sunshine might choose spinach salad with orange wedges and poppy seed dressing. In either example, the season's bounty will offer up fresh flavors no guest can resist.
Tortilla Express
Marinated fajitas, oversized burritos, peppers and tangy salsas make the dishes of the Latin culture both comforting and exciting. At Tortilla Express, the menu mix is spiced with a popular assortment of Latin favorites, creating a culinary fiesta of colorful dishes and big sensational tastes. It's hard to resist the classic dishes, and we make it even more difficult to pass up when they're topped with fresh cilantro, salsa bursting with ripe red tomatoes, creamy guacamole and sour cream.
The Gourmet Grill
Often a guilty pleasure, hamburgers, fries, grilled chicken and onion rings have become a part of the American diet. At Gourmet Grill we take the standard café grill and turn it into a destination for a fresh and flaming fast meal. From fresh, juicy burgers to grilled chicken breast sandwiches, all sandwiches are served on specialty breads with a selection of toppings such as sautéed mushrooms, grilled onions, assorted peppers and a host of local sauces.
Starbucks
Choose from all your favorite coffee beverages, both hot and cold, as well as non-coffee drinks including chai tea, steamed cider and hot chocolate. Frosty cold Frappuccinos are also available, plus fresh bakery scones, croissants and brownies.
Temporary Dining Units offer added convenience.
ARAMARK also has the ability to set up portable restaurant locations either on the show floor or outside of the main exhibit hall, providing virtually all the menu options offered by our permanent locations. Please note that there are ancillary costs for set up of most portable restaurant locations. Please ask your ARAMARK Sales Manager for details.
