Caviar and champagne, fillet of beef with vintage wines and cheese served with Croft port: Now the BEST airline meals are revealed

'Exquisite', ' impeccable' and 'dazzling' are not words often used when asked to describe airline food.

However, these are the descriptions used by luxury food magazine Saveur, when it revealed the carriers with the best in-flight options.

The magazine's second annual Culinary Travel Award winners were chosen by an expert panel of the editors as well as industry experts, travel writers, photographers and chefs.

Pretty poor writing.

Wrong



"Emirates Airlines scooped The Experts Choice award" and yet "Oman Air's business and first class meals were voted as their top choice." Emirates was "considered 'notable'" in coach and not mentioned in F/Business.

Who is missing?
 

AY! Why? Beginning in April this year I tried to make meal selection for their highly touted reindeer filet, tried right up until departure about a month back-calling, emailing, etc. Was in J JFK-HEL & HEL-HKG.
Thankfully rest of RTW was CX J. They excel.

The best airline steak I've ever consumed was on a Dragon Air HKG-PEK first class flight this summer. It was truly outstanding.

Does Dragon Air have first class on this route?

TG J food?! A lot of their meals are the same stuff they serve in Y just thrown in a ceramic casserole. They often use the same ceramic casserole in Y.

United's economy dining services were considered notable?! Notably bad?

that DL pic was taken in the late 80s or possibly early 90s... dailymail smh

That is an old Delta International First Class Meal.

Either notably bad, or notably absent. :D

As mentioned, the article is really sloppy. The DL photo is ancient and the LAN photo is not from Y.

The finest meal I've had on an airline, if I remember correctly, was grilled trout in economy on a United flight from Boston to San Diego - of course, this was 1975. Nothing to match it since. :)

This is the Daily Mail so you should not expect too much...

The best J meals I had were on SQ, blew away BA F and LHR j. Pity I can't use SQ often. Service leaves others in the dust too.

It's generally all akin to leftovers, even in premium classes, so the best meals tend to be things that are better as leftovers - i.e. soups. One of the most memorable I've had was an abalone soup in CX F, with bits of undisclosed chicken feet at the bottom of the bowl.

I've never had a good steak on an airplane. There is always something wrong with the temperature, and often the texture.

Great concept for the next Gordon Ramsey taping... "Stakes on a Plane!" :D

Yep - or at least they did in 2012
