BREWDOG, JAM-ENG AND ZAZA CUBAN CAFÉ & BAR SET TO OPEN AT ORLANDO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Three new restaurants will bring global craft beer and distinctly local flavor to MCO’s North Terminal Complex
(United States, Oct 14, 2026): SSP America, a division of SSP Group, a leading operator of food and beverage brands in travel locations worldwide, today announced that BrewDog, Jam-Eng and Zaza Cuban Café & Bar are scheduled to open at Orlando International Airport (MCO) later this year. The three restaurants will enhance the airport’s North Terminal Complex with distinct dining experiences spanning globally recognized craft beer, Jamaican and British cuisine, and Cuban American comfort food.
Founded in 2007 with a mission to make people passionate about great craft beer, BrewDog will bring its energetic bar and restaurant experience to MCO. Known for its award-winning beers, scratch-made comfort food, and lively atmosphere, BrewDog will proudly pour Peet’s Coffee as part of an all-day experience that transitions seamlessly from morning coffee and breakfast to relaxed meals and drinks later in the day.
Downtown Orlando favorite Jam-Eng will introduce travelers to a vibrant combination of Jamaican and British culinary traditions. Founded by Caroline and Wayne Harvey, the quick-service concept is known for bold flavors, warm hospitality, and strong community roots. Its menu features traveler-friendly favorites including jerk chicken, Jamaican patties, and classic British comfort food, offering a distinctive taste of Orlando’s multicultural character.
Built on generations of family heritage, Zaza Cuban Café & Bar, already a favorite at MCO, features a contemporary take on Cuban American comfort food. The all-day concept will feature authentic Cuban dishes, handcrafted cocktails, locally brewed beers, and a full-service coffee program, creating a welcoming space for travelers from morning through evening.
“Great airports do more than move people. They create a sense of arrival long before travelers reach their destination,” said George Mboya, Chief Executive Officer of SSP America. “With BrewDog, Jam-Eng and Zaza Cuban Café & Bar, we’re bringing together global and local flavors in a way that reflects the spirit of Orlando. These are the kinds of experiences that travelers remember, and they’re exactly what we mean when we say our purpose is to be the best part of the journey.”
“We appreciate SSP America’s partnership and its efforts to reflect both global and local concepts,” said Lance Lyttle, CEO of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority. “These new dining options will give our guests more opportunities to discover something new along the way while enjoying the hospitality that makes Orlando special.”
The openings will further SSP America’s commitment to working with airport and brand partners to create welcoming, guest-focused dining experiences that bring a meaningful sense of place to the passenger journey.
