Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

Yeppers.

Last time I flew Qantas international from Sydney, only morning flights were available to my destination, so looking forward to an early evening at the lounge.

At least they haven’t subbed one of the bubbles for Prosecco! I recall times when there was four to choose from…

Champagne list is a bit dire

The food list isn't marvellous either - a bowl of olives, cheese and tomato bits, and spag bol. I'm not sure why you'd need to employ an executive chef to come up with that.

I don’t think it looks too bad. The bao is always good and there are a few things on there I’d be happy to eat. Unfortunately we’ll only be there for breakfast in a few months....wonder if they’ll make me a pav if I ask nicely.

I asked nicely a couple months ago when we were there mid morning and the chef obliged with a couple of pavs, for me and my boy, it was quiet though only about 6 others in the lounge at the time.

I remember a Bolle - not there now by the look of it.

First time I ever went to the F lounge (courtesy of an AFF member) I drank way too much Bolly. Made for a fun flight to LHR

Qantas just seems to be cheapening the whole premium experience!

But not the “Sale” fares!

Do you know if you are on the QF11 if there is a breakfast menu or is it the one all day dinning now?

There should be a separate Breakfast menu. The "all day" dining starts usually starts around 11am(?) despite the name....

Perhaps someone can post the Winter breaky menu?

Surprised to see the menu still says Autumn, yet they added the Rome promotion bit. Are they normally a bit delayed to update it?

Yes, can typically take a week or two to change over.

I sampled this menu a couple of times last month. Bang Bang salad was good, as was the barramundi. The pork belly was too soy / salty for my liking. S&P squid was same as usual.

Reminds me of this:

You should try Spanish cuisine-in Spain. They bring the sea to the table, even if you are eating beef, vey salt loving country. I even ask for no salt on my chips in the Q int F lounge because it is over salted. I like some chips with my salt!

It's worth asking. I tried this back in 2019, and my waiter declined, saying something about the chef wouldn't let him. I acknowledged in my initial request that it was a bit early to be asking, but I do like a nice breakfast dessert.

I can't remember what happened now ... looking back at my 2019 pics, I had a pav at 8:15/9:15am on 26 Oct to follow up my eggs benny, and looks like I only had eggs benny on 3 Dec.

Nor the Taittinger ...

Just saw today's winter menu on Facebook and the Taittinger is there
