Despite the chef signature dishes, LX again underperformed in F catering from an outstation... was not very impressed by the appetizers at all (except for the salmon which was as good as ever). there was the option of miso soup but I opted for the salad which was ordinary. Fish main was just about ok. Cheese and dessert were the saving grace of this rather average meal. Breakfast was equally bland. They ran of out of muesli which is rather incredible for a Swiss airline!
