Qantas Business Class meals & menus

[OATEK]

Personally, I found the Croque Monsieur is bad enough with putting fungus on!

 

[Port Power]

A croque monsieur should be an absolute delight. Make it extra decadent by adding some fresh truffle.

My son had one in the LAX First lounge. (Well, I actually took it away to him as he was luggage sitting down at check-in. Of course, I had to have a glass of Champagne while waiting!) It looked absolutely delicious and decadent, and he loved it.

QF41 SYD-CGK 28/09/22
Pretty sure they just straight up ran the menus through Google Translate. There's at least one obvious grammatical error, and the drinks section is English only (same as every other Int J menu I've seen). Other wise the barramundi is OK, and quiche is good.

Grant Burge is gone?! say whaaaaaat?!

I am almost a tiny bit excited for an ADL flight next week!

(and that is possibly the saddest thing I've posted in quite some time!)

 

[Letiha]

11:10am flight from Brisbane to Sydney.

Brie and leek quiche with mushy peas and caramelised onion. This was tasty.

Other option was a charred broccoli and edamame salad.

 

[Batterytraveller]

The fact they still serve ozeki sake in J on flights to japan continues to be a matter of severe embarrassment. It’s absolute garbage, worse than if they broke out a yellowtail goonsack.

It’s not like it’s hard or costly to do better. Dan’s and BWS have recently massively upped their sake game thanks to some help from JETRO.

QF743 Sydney to Adelaide 30 SEP 22

I was pretty happy with the beef stir fry, flavour was good and the beef wasn't dry.

Week #3 of QF10 PER-MEL 2 Oct

Inflight Entertainment updated (thankfully) but the menu still the same as September

3hrs late departure due to a scratched tinting window, the PDB bubbles were gratefully welcomed...



No sourdough on offer today...



I wouldn't normally choose the salad, but this one was fresh and tasty



Red grapes today.. and a generous serve of muscat



A tub of Maggie Beer to finish

 

[JohnM]

QF645 B738 SYD-PER 1F now.

Lois sparkling is indeed the current offering - good stuff.

Black pepper beef with (too much for me) rice - pretty good.

Sugar bomb cake thingy and horrible sickly Lindt ‘chocolate’. Massive (ongoing) fail. The b@stards are softening us up for the ‘new normal’.

STILL NO CHEESE

Lambrook shiraz - good.

CSM just informed me that B738 cabin crew has been permanently reduced by one.

 

[SYD]

QF 92 NOU-SYD yesterday. A choice of French inspired Massaman Beef or Butter Chicken (yeah, chicken or beef).

OK. PJM and I both did not eat the Thing in the Box or the Thing in the Wrapper.

Initially I said: "Let's ask the CSM to give them to some kids down the back."

Then I said: "No let's take them home for M**** (my 6yo grandy.") - which we did.

I'm struggling to get him to even consider eating that cough. He ate one of the Things in a Wrapper - but asked if he could spit it out if he didn't like it. The Things in the Box are rotting on the kitchen bench...

We're being totally suckered by QF...

 

[jukebox333]

Thing in the Box or the Thing in the Wrapper.

Thing in the Box™ or the Thing in the Wrapper™.

Both deserve trademarking, John.

QF782 PER-MEL evening flight.

Bevvie offered after departure a "sparkling or a Shiraz" No white wine other than the sparkling? No.

Sparkling was an Adelaide Hills job



For mains, Pepper beef with fresh shallot garnish chosen over chicken. Pretty good.



Drinks with dinner were a Semillon (which had been teleported in, apparently), a Shiraz or the sparkling. The Shiraz was chilled and from a little bottle . Complete cough for transcon J. Maggie Beer () icecream.

QF9 MEL-PER yesterday

October menu is loaded!



PDB of still/sparkling/bubbles



Drinks came around first... full service, with a Penfolds Max's shiraz, sparking water, and almonds



I went with soup for starters - choice of bread was back, too:



Lamb shanks for main



Although visually unappealing, the minted peas were fine

The "Maggie Beer Ice Cream" option delivered something sub-par: a minature icecream sandwich:



This is 'Pat & Sticks' Vanilla Lace, apparently. Frozen solid like a hockey puck, the biscuit was tacky under finger heat, and insanely oversweet for my taste. My advice: check with your FA exactly what is being served if you want to ice cream option. I won't be going to Pat & Sticks route again...

Coffee and digestif to finish:



I noticed a familar square shaped bottle under the coffee trolley as it passed by, so obliquely asked "What do you have on offer on the second shelf?" and was told "There's cognac, muscat, single malt, and Cointreau..." The last item is not on the drinks menu, but a favourite, so I happily nominated that choice, and was served a generous pour.

"Would you like a chocolate to go with that, Mr. Jukebox?"
Me: It's Lindt, isn't it?
"Yes"
Me: No thanks.

I loved the pats and sticks ice-cream. Might have been the 8 glasses of vino beforehand but it hit the spot!!

Choice of Black Pepper Beef or Creamy Chicken.

Wasn't bad at all. Maybe I was hungry though

Just had the beef on MEL-CBR this evening. Was the only option but was absolutely delicious. Service was very efficient and good.

WEL-MEL this arvo was a lamb skan_ or the very common creamy chicken. Tried the lamb which was alright. Service was awfully awkward and amateur.

Was stuck in economy on the way to NZ - beef ravioli and veg or a chicken salad was on offer. Had the ravioli which was possibly the worst meal (economy or otherwise) I’ve had in a very long time. No presentation, no taste and just generally revolting. A far cry from the great qantas trans-Tasman economy product I remember pre Covid.
