Qantas Business Class meals & menus

[Berlin]

I think you are being polite just calling it underwhelming.

Oh wow, this is dismal! I saw this and first thought "Oh, that looks nice for breakfast" and only then realised this is supposed to be a lunchtime offering!

 

[danielt25]

It was announced as a "snack" service rather than lunch. Anyway, pretty ordinary IMO.

Amaroo is that a special vegetarian meal? I have a theory that 'dirty plates' = special meal as they tend to cover them with foil and heat them too much/too little... what was it?

QF1013 MEL-HBA Dep:12:40pm 24 May

Described as Roast Beef salad. Not good. Beef was very tough and dry and there was no dressing already on the salad and none given. Should have got the Roast Chicken.

That meal actually makes my toes curl

Pretty disappointing menu MEL-PER lunchtime flight. (12:45pm.)

That said, what I ate was fine, albeit small, and service was excellent, lead by Mike the CSM, with drinks trolleys out within about 10 minutes. PDB was water or the sparkling juice.

Buffalo mozzarella.. Tasty but a bit samey, if that makes sense.

 

[kermatu]

Know that dumplings are not the best thing to order on a plane, but was the only main that appealed. Disappointing serve, but it was again quite tasty. Pretty much only because of the salted chilli which is - as the name tells you - taste bud heaven.

Cheese was good, though crisp bread all a bit cheap and I was definitely over the almonds by now (smoked almonds along with the pre-lunch drink, toasted almonds with the mozzarella and plain almonds as above with the cheese).

Good flight but a very average menu and sadly one I’m sure to get again soon.

Oh dear God I'm glad to see you didn't have the beef... NZ_Flyer did warn us in advance and you were smart enough to avoid disaster...

What’s this one- looks delicious!

I’m struggling to remember .... was suffering from the previous nights high jinx that flight. I think is was pretty tasty.

No, stock standard meal. Promise to make more of an effort remembering the details.

Less high jinx more attention to the food

Yes, did see the warning from NZ_Flyer, but have also had poor beef salads myself.

BNE-CNS pity the omelette looked, cut and tasted like powdered tosh

What a great lunch for a two minute flight. It confirms all our suspicions, OOL catering is fab.

QF569 SYD-PER dep 1635 Sun 27th May 2018
Good flight in 1C on the 738. Maggie’s brew or water offered pre take off.


Scotch with nuts pre dinner.



Jamon was very good to open the batting




On advice from FA Maggie that the beef was very small, went for the very British sounding order of fish with mushy peas. Was actually very good (and coming from PER that’s saying a lot). A double bonus tonight as the Eden Hall 2014 Cabernet punched way above its weight - a very balanced wine. Must look this one up at Dan’s, this is one to add to MrsDrJ’s and my quaffer rotation.



Maggie’s vanilla bean ice cream for dessert, forewent the dessert wine for another glass of the aforementioned Cabernet.

Better look it up at Epicure- that's one of their regulars and often appears in the mixed dozens. Plus you'll get ample Qantas points
