The opposite today, the Laurent Perrier and Joseph Perrier only brought out in the F Lounge at noon after the departure of CX 252 @ 11.20am. Now 3 white and 1 rose champagnes on self pour in the F lounge!

Indeed. Was back in there today too. Probably the other champagnes are as backup if LP is out or so. Anyway, good to have LP and JP back!

Looking at all the recent menus, there's not much on the menus that require fresh cooking anymore. Everything can be pre-cooked and left on a warmer, ready for serving. Good for delivery speed, but not great for quality.
Compared to the Qantas F lounge menus where most things are prepared fresh.

Yes their SYD lounge is pretty good.
But even then I find they have cut back on quality compared to when they first opened 10 years ago -
No more steak.
Also more and more items pretty much just need to reheat. Even the so-called famous salt and pepper squid are more often just luke-warm
The major problem with these QF lounges is the speed and lack of anything substantial you can just take and eat as well.

The Pierre F, May 2019, breakfast & lunch menu:
The Poached eggs with hollandaise on toasted muffin.
OK, though missing Salt & Pepper at the table, to lift it from being bland and give it some bite.
Friendly and helpful staff.
