Air France Creates Exclusive New Dishes for Premium Passengers

From July 2025, Daniel Boulud, a Michelin-starred French chef based in New York, will be joining forces with Air France to create exclusive new dishes for the airline's La Première and Business customers.

Boulud's tasty dishes can be found on departure from the United States alongside those of Dominique Crenn, a triple Michelin-starred French chef based in San Francisco who has been working with the airline since 2024.

And for the first time, Air France is now offering desserts by Laurent Le Daniel, Meilleur Ouvrier de France based in Brittany, to showcase fine French dining throughout the in-flight experience.

New Menus in La Première and Business

Since February 2024, Air France has been working with triple Michelin-starred chef Dominique Crenn to create inventive and poetic dishes for its La Première and Business customers on departure from the United States.

Each month, the chef offers a vegetarian dish and an elaborate fish dish. Lobster, pico de gallo condiment and tea sauce or a root vegetable mille-feuille with truffle sauce are just two examples of the chef's culinary genius in the La Première cabin.

In Business, among other culinary creations, cod with quinoa and marinière sauce or open ravioli, courgette and tomato with hazelnut and parmesan sauce are the promise of a fine dining experience on board these cabins.

Alongside her, Air France now welcomes the renowned chef Daniel Boulud, who has created simple and tasty dishes with traditional French roots, tinged with contemporary notes. The chef complements the in-flight menus with red meat and poultry dishes made exclusively for Air France customers.

With Chicken with Saffron, Turnips, Pumpkin,Green Olive Semolinain the La Première cabin, and Braised Lamb Shoulder and Root Vegetablesin the Business cabin, his seasonally changing dishes are now available on departure from New York-JFK, Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco and Washington-DC. From November 2025, they will be available on departure from all the airline's US destinations.

New Laurent Le Daniel Desserts

For the first time, Air France has entrusted the creation of its refined desserts to be enjoyed on board to Laurent Le Daniel, Meilleur Ouvrier de France based in Brittany. "For Air France customers, each creation is a truly sensory experience," explains the pastry chef, who combines the quality of the products, creativity and delicate flavours to create these original desserts.

In the La Première cabin, guests can enjoy a ‘Coeur de Bretagne’, a quintessential Breton dessert, with its salted butter caramel, milk chocolate and crispy hazelnut biscuit, or a Lemon delight in the Business cabin, a modern take on the famous lemon tart. These new sweet treats are renewed regularly and are available on departure from all Air France's stations in the US and Canada.

This summer, Air France is flying to the following US destinations: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York-JFK, New York-Newark, Orlando, Phoenix, Raleigh-Durham, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington DC.
