The best airline food in the world revealed
For the past five years, Alitalia has won the Best Airline Cuisine award from Global Traveller.
Katarina Kroslakova from Traveller.com recently reviewed her trip with the Italian airline. Travelling businesses or “magnifica” class, she flew Abu Dhabi to Rome on a Boeing 777.
Her review speaks of attentive service and adequate recliner chairs; however, her highlight was no doubt the food.
“Customers are welcomed with a glass of Franciacorta, water or juice. A very light breakfast (about 8.30am Abu Dhabi time) consists of pastries, coffee and orange juice. I never, ever eat those rubbery soggy pastries on flights, but these (yes, plural) were somehow moorish. The "any time" menu offers dill marinated prawns and salmon tartare with fresh lime and caperberry, homemade lasagne layered with slow-cooked ragu, baked red snapper with a light lemon reduction served with dill mashed potatoes, zucchini and grilled cherry tomato, Italian cheese selection with fig preserves, and a light espresso cream mousse tartlet. Well, that's just what I had. The regional Italian wine list is twice as long and includes beers, wines, aperitif and digestives.”
