Air France Elevates Customers Experience with New Vegan Menu

From April to September 2023, Amandine Chaignot is working with Air France for the first time, to the delight of the airline's customers.

The talented French chef has created new vegetarian dishes which will appear on the spring-summer menu in the Air France short- and medium-haul lounge located in terminal 2F at Paris-Charles de Gaulle.

Amandine Chaignot has taken over from Chloé Charles to offer a selection of new culinary creations alongside François Adamski, Servair Corporate Chef, Bocuse d'Or and Meilleur Ouvrier de France.

Together, the two chefs have developed nine new dishes, some of which are rooted in French tradition thanks to the talent of François Adamski, while others make up a tasty vegetarian range specially created by Amadine Chaignot.

These new dishes will be revealed gradually over the next six months. They will complete the gourmet offer available in this lounge, which promotes French cuisine and responsible catering in a bistro style.

• Courgette blessoto with smoked almonds by Amandine Chaignot;

On the menu in April 2023:

• Sautéed veal with sage and mashed potatoes by François Adamski;

• Flaky hake fillet with aniseed cream sauce, sliced fennel with dill and rice pilaf by François Adamski.

A new spring-summer menu in Air France Paris lounges

In all its Paris lounges, Air France offers a wide range of catering services, now including dishes designed by top French chefs. At Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Alain Ducasse and his teams have designed the menu for the Air France La Première lounge.

On the menu in this prestigious space, guests can enjoy the chef's famous ham and black truffle coquillettes or the rum or Armagnac baba, made famous in Monte Carlo.

In the other lounges located in terminal 2 E (halls K, L and M), Ducasse Paris is unveiling new dishes this season, including a signature salad featuring raw produce and seasonal seasonings with no added fat, a "Burgal", a 100% plant-based, healthy and locally-sourced alternative using French cereals and vegetables, as well as a new mango and passion fruit dessert. In the Terminal 2F lounge, Amandine Chaignot and François Adamski have devised a tasty, seasonal menu.

At Paris-Orly, Guy Martin, who is used to signing the menus served on board Air France flights, has been creating dishes for the international lounge at Orly 3 since January 2023.

A hake dish and chuck of beef specially created by the renowned chef will be available over the coming months. In the Orly 2 short-haul lounge, customers can enjoy the famous assortment of choux pastries designed by pastry chef Philippe Urraca at certain times of the day.
