And while some airlines may indeed have better inflight food, only Garuda Indonesia comes close to the overall package (ground and inflight) of Air France, especially on the 77W.
I think it's pretty hard to definitively separate the very top of the pyramid. I haven't flown GA F - but IMO F in AF, LH, LX, JL, NH, KE, EK and SQ are all very close with EY varying and CX/QR F certainly fairly close - although it has been awhile since flying F on QR - although their J might be in the same category. For the most part, it's splitting hairs - personal tastes on the menu being offered or a poorly heated meal. I will say on SQ I've noticed if you don't eat much of a dish it seems SOP to ask why, and make sure you don't want something else.
