QF16/QF21 Business Class Menu/Pre-Order Options?
G’Day-
My lovely wife will be flying LAX-BNE and MEL-DFW in J Class next month, and just curious if Qantas offers access to menus and/or a meal pre-order option like AA does within 30 days of departure. In full disclosure, she is a very picky eater with an unsophisticated palate. Any intel you QF experts can offer will make me look like a hero, so I thank you in advance!
EDIT: I did check the Qantas website, pulled up her reservation, but saw nothing that speaks to menus or meal pre-order options...thanks!

No pre-ordering. I expect it would be difficult to get Qantas to provide you with any information about the menu. There isn't any dedicated service line for business passengers with staff who might be equipped to answer that question. Fortunately for your wife the food on Qantas is pretty bland.

QF used to have menus and the ability to select and also select a more interesting option. QF has good bread, people seem to like the bircher muesli. The food is pretty similar to what you find in an aged care facility - bland, easy to chew served with a starch and a couple of leaves of lettuce. Typically they have a stewed beef type food, a chicken or fish with rice, and then some plant based option. Do not worry the food you find at any Australian restaurant on landing will be a more representative selection of Ozzie cuisine. If you like wine, the QF J wine selection is usually quite reasonable.

Thanks again for the informative and comical replies! Cheers!

Not sure if I can post links to other forums, however australian frequent flyer has a thread of menus and meals.
I’ve just done a couple of international J sectors and the snapper and spicy black bean dish I had on the way up to CGK was one of the better fish dishes I’ve had in the sky. This probably doesn’t help your wife but I find the spicier Asian inspired dishes are always better than the rather bland European inspired ones.

QF doesn’t change menus regularly. The last menus were in operation all through from pre covid to about 15 months after covid. New menus are on their way.
If you can find a recent trip report before you’re due to fly you can assume that will be the same menu.
Ex Australia you can pick almost any international flight except new zealand… will be pretty much the same menu.

I like the QF food generally. I’m on a London trip and everything (esp Sing Lounge) has been great.
A lot of new menu items as per the ET article above on my flights.
