Qatar Airways has unveiled its latest menus, featuring some of Australia’s finest native flavours.
They are available until December 15 as the airline celebrates 15 years of service to Australia.
Available in first class (Sydney and Perth) and business class, the new menus feature fresh, local ingredients sourced from sustainable suppliers across the country, celebrating Australia’s diverse natural environment.
From the rich raisin-like taste of South Australian bush tomato to warm spicy notes from Tasmanian mountain pepper, travellers can look forward to a culinary journey that pays homage to Australia’s culinary milieu.
Highlights include the apple cream cake, complemented by a New South Wales strawberry gum compote with sticky caramel and vanilla crème fraîche.
For starters, passengers can enjoy the grilled Moreton Bay prawn and seared tuna accompanied by a Thai salad paired with a flavourful Queensland finger lime chilli dressing.
“To mark such a key milestone in our Australian operations, this special menu is carefully curated to reflect the Australian heritage by incorporating native flavours into our award-winning business class menu offerings,” said Xia Cai, Qatar Airways Senior Vice President of Product Development and Design.
“Guests can look forward to sampling some of Australia’s unique native flavours while enjoying world-class hospitality onboard Qatar Airways.
“We know Australians are passionate about food and this celebratory menu is testament to Qatar Airways’ commitment to providing the best onboard experience for our passengers and continued quest for service excellence.”
Qatar Airways offers travel from Australia to more than 49 destinations across Europe and the United Kingdom, 29 destinations across Africa, 33 destinations across the Middle East and 13 destinations across North and South America.
