I had the pleasure of experiencing an exclusive preview of new culinary creations for Emirates Business Class inflight dishes recently. It was an afternoon of exceptional cuisine, exclusive access and insights, and a one-of-a-kind culinary collaboration in the skies.
Emirates Business Class customers can look forward to yet another elevation of the inflight experience, as an array of 18 new dishes will be launched onboard this summer. The dishes have been created by Emirates master-chefs in collaboration with Moet & Chandon’s Head Chef of Michelin Star renown, Jean Michel Bardet and Emirates Vice President of Culinary Design, Doxis Bekris.
Each of the new dishes has been perfectly paired with an exclusive champagne, serving up the ultimate culinary collaboration in the sky. The 18 new starters and main courses will be launched inflight on select routes from May 2025 onwards, allowing Emirates Business Class customers to enjoy an expertly curated champagne and cuisine pairing for the first time in the air.
The menu has spent more than a year in development between Emirates master chefs and the Maison of Moet & Chandon in France, as the award-winning chefs were challenged to create refined dishes of culinary excellence with premium ingredients, that can also be scaled to meet the demands of the world’s largest international airline serving 149 meals every minute, totaling more than 77 million meals every year.
The new paired dishes will include starters like poached scallops, silken tofu, roasted veal carpaccio and dukkah crusted prawn sushi. Some of the mains include roasted turkey, seared Chilean sea bass, roasted duck and braised lentils with coconut. All the dishes will be perfectly paired with an array of Moet & Chandon champagne.
At the event, we were treated to the finest Moet & Chandon cuvées, which were carefully paired with each dish, offering a truly memorable experience. We learnt about the intricacies of crafting exceptional inflight cuisine at scale.
The event was enhanced by the presence of culinary team of Emirates including VP of Culinary Design Doxis Bekris, Head Chef of Moet & Chandon Jean Michel Bardet and Moet & Chandon Ambassador Charles de Pontevés.
