I'm happy to report that I was pleasantly surprised by TAP's economy catering. I flew from Chicago to Lisbon and feel they were in the top 20% of TATL economy catering. The dinner was the standard economy offering - small salad with dressing, roll, butter, main, and a dessert cake. Rather than the all-too-common chicken or pasta, TAP offered fish or pasta. The baked cod with rice and vegetables was fantastic. Wines were perfectly nice Portuguese red or white (I think beer was offered too). The pours were generous, top offs offered, and the crew happily provided additional glasses of wine midflight. Coffee was solid, too. The breakfast was a huge step above most US carriers - fruit, roll, yoghurt, cold cuts, and cheese. Definitely better than the granola bar offered on a recent AA flight. All said, I'd happy choose TAP for future flights to Europe. Just keep in mind - Lisbon airport is an operational mess so try to keep connecting times of at least 120 minutes. Nonetheless, I'm delighted to have a few option to Europe with affordable one way flights. The buy up to business class on the flight home was well worth it, too!
