Qantas Business Class meals & menus

QF1904 CBR-BNE
10am departure

Two breakfast choices - frittata with pork, or frittata with beef. I had the pork option.



I upgraded with points 2 hours before departure and was apparently marked down as “catering not assured”, but still got a choice of meals.

Had the same main course for the return, so did not take a photo.

Good taste

I wonder if the average person would be more or less confused if they had just said, "Beef Bourguignon" rather than "Beef and bacon burgundy" (which is somewhat incorrect as the latter is a proper noun).

Of course, they could say, "Slow-cooked beef in red wine stew," and probably call it a day.

Interesting. Whilst I love Beef Bourguignon, I didn't even associate the menu description with the dish.

QF941 BNE-PER Sat Oct 12, 738 VH-VZO sched 1845 actual pushback 1842, takeoff 1853 (01R)
Pleasantly on time departure for a change, very good service from CSM Fiona.
No PDBs but bottled water was waiting on the seat on boarding.


Rather than just the usual Chivas, the Australian single malt Starward Nova ($99 at Dan's) was on offer, had this as a pre dinner drink with the usual Santos nibblies. While I prefer peatier whiskies, this one was actually very good.



Chicken curry with rice and veggies, smoked salmon coleslaw on the side. While the curry obviously wasn't matching Mrs DrJ's creations, was unexpectedly good with the chicken at the right level of done-ness; hit the spot tonight. The same lower tier Xanadu cabernet which disappointed yesterday was on the list again so went with the pleasantly quaffable sauv blanc (whose name escaped me) which was the only other vinous option tonight.
Lamb shank and lamb salad were the other dinner options.


The usual Maggie’s ice cream presented afterward. Wanting to limit the booze tonight so didn’t ask about dessert wine, but hopefully some would have been on offer given yesterday’s experience.

QF545 BNE>SYD 20 October. Options were Thai pork curry or a chicken salad. I went the curry and quite enjoyed it. Had a nice kick to it with the included chilli. Desert - which I skipped - was carrot cake with cream cheese icing. Friendly and efficient service. Sadly the aircraft (VH-VXB) had non-functioning wifi

QF879, OOL>SYD, QF157 MEL>AKL respectively.

QF879: options were Pork asian stir fry noodles, or slow cooked beef with steamed veges "on the side".
Having been presented both options despite being in 3K I wondered if I could get the "on the side" veges on the side of the stir fry noodle option, expecting a small bowl of hot veges.

Lo and behold I got two mains! Both delicious. Veges not really steamed, more like oven roasted.



QF157: options were teriyaki chicken fried rice, chorizo paella (with a dozen prawns!) or beef thai-style(?) salad.

Paella was lovely, just the right amount of spice, and hearty.
Not a huge fan of the boccocini and pasta starter, and I was surprised to see a stick of cheese wrapped in baking paper (below the butter). First time seeing that.
