Marinated Red Mullet and Tomato Tart ( one AF advantage vs. KLM, you still can choose from two appetizers, KLM only offers one for at least 4-5 years now )
Choice of Main Courses
Pan-Seared Lamb Noisette, Simmered Carrots and Herbed Artichoke Bottoms
Sauteed Shrimp with Lemon Balm Cream Sauce, Basmati Rice and Eggplanr Ratatouille
