Air France Rolls Out Frédéric Simonin Menus in Premium Cabins

Air France is enhancing its premium long-haul dining experience by offering specially crafted dishes developed in collaboration with celebrated French chef Frédéric Simonin on flights departing from the United States.

 

The new culinary programme is available in La Première, Business Class and Premium Economy cabins on select long-haul services operated by Air France from key U.S. gateways. The partnership reflects the airline’s focus on elevating onboard gastronomy and bringing elements of French fine dining to the skies.

Menus created by Simonin feature refined recipes and flavours that draw from his signature style and culinary vision. Passengers travelling in premium cabins can now enjoy these dishes as part of their in-flight meal service, with menus tailored to each cabin level and designed to complement the overall travel experience.

Air France says the collaboration aims to offer a more memorable journey for guests, combining quality ingredients, carefully balanced flavours and thoughtful presentation. The airline has also introduced an updated wine list and beverage pairing recommendations to accompany the new meals.

Service standards and tableware in premium cabins have been aligned with the culinary upgrade, enhancing the overall atmosphere for guests travelling on long-haul flights. The new menus underscore Air France’s commitment to delivering a distinct and elevated premium service anchored in French gastronomy.

According to the airline, the introduction of chef-designed dishes is part of a broader strategy to enhance the passenger experience and differentiate Air France’s premium product in a competitive international market.

Passengers flying in premium cabins from the U.S. are encouraged to discover the new offerings on board and explore how the menus reflect Air France’s culinary heritage and contemporary approach to fine dining at altitude.
