About this location

Tender Crush sits at gate 41 on Terminal 8's level-three row, sharing that gate number with Alidoro. The menu is sandwiches and chicken, overlapping with Alidoro's counter but without Alidoro's Italian focus. No hours are posted for it, unlike Neir's Tavern's 4 a.m.-to-midnight run or either Pret a Manger's 3:30 a.m. start close by, so a traveler at gate 41 should check on arrival rather than plan around a fixed window.
