Thoughts, experiences? I'm not very familiar with the Cora's chain.

They're going to try to do eggs bennie? I don't eat at Cora's if I can help it (kinda frou-frou IMO), but I can't imagine any hollandaise working in an in-flight meal. If it's good, it won't hold; if it holds, it won't be good.

I don't mind Cora's and never found it too frou-frou but this has to be an upgrade on what was offered before so will give it a tentative thumbs up and look for it on an upcoming flight.

I'm not crazy about Cora's but it is acceptable. Really, any restaurant should be able to put together a decent breakfast.
I don't really like this partnership though. Restaurant quality/standards don't translate well into to-go or airline catering. They are two completely different beasts. What does a restaurant know about making prepared meals that will be reheated on a plane? Has a restaurant ever succeeded in this type of partnership? Westjet already tried something similar with Chopped Leaf which should have had more success as they are in the business of catering/prepared meals and it was a failure.

I did a YVR-YYC (so 1 1/2 hour) in the front cabin. Old style seats so I assume no oven. Breakfast was a try with yogurt, chopped fruit and I don't remember the other little dish, I think chease maybe. There was part of hard boiled egg.
It was all quite good, very nice presentation, the only item I would object to was the egg. I don't like eggs on their own, they can be tolerated when inside an Air Canada omelet.
