Food pics from LX041 LAX > ZRH on Dec 7th.
This was our first time flying Swiss, and the food definitely did not disappoint.
Alas, I am allergic to salmon, so I could not post the ubiquitous Balik Salmon pic


Yuzu-Marinated shrimp and scallop with cucumber and pear.

In addition to the cucumber and shaved pear, there were also radish and some herbs. Very light and refreshing, would order again.


Seasonal salad with artichoke, carrot and celery. This one was came pre-dressed, tossed with the dressing of choice. Was offered a ranch or Italian dressing. Very fresh, nice salad, would definitely order again.

I am not a huge drinker, and had already had a tequila in the lounge and champagne on boarding. I didn't try the any of the white wines, but had the Swiss Red (Baroq Assemblage). It was our first time flying swiss, and going to switzerland it seemed like the right choice. It was decent, but would probably go with the Chateauneuf next time.


Beef tenderloin with brandy cream sauce, potato gratin, and green beans.

The beef was excellent, and the sides perfect. I am a huge steak lover, and if this wasn't the best steak I've had in the sky then it is at least tied for the top. The only quibble I have about it is I would have liked it done a little more. Not for the cook, but because the middle was cool, and I would have preferred it warm. It was super tender, and it wouldn't have hurt it at all to be slightly warmer. That said, I still ate all of it and would 100% order it again.


Cheese plate. I especially enjoyed the Aged Gruyere and the Point Reyes Toma. I should add that I asked for only a small portion, so this might be smaller than normal . I was so full already I almost skipped cheese and desert, but decided to power it out for you all.


Dessert wine from Austria, name too long to type But it was lovely.


Vanilla ice cream with fruit salad. No matter how old I get, there is always something I love about having ice cream on a plane. I couldn't pass it up.

Breakfast:


The breakfast choices were more extensive than I expected. And there was also the choice of French Toast, that wasn't on the menu.

There were 3 of us (myself and two family members on this trip) and we all were quite impressed with the quality of the food on Swiss. The others tried different dishes, like the chicken and the vegetarian option, and all were very happy with them.
I would say that some of the food was maybe slightly bland, but I prefer the option to season the food with the salt and pepper provided anyway, so it was definitely not a negative to me.
I think my family probably has some pics of the other dishes that I will post if i can, but that will probably take me awhile.
We are already looking forward to the food on our next Swiss flight next week.
