Qatar Airways Business & First Class meals

[Mattg]

Similar menu on DOH-RUH in F, also an evening flight, except that there were no alcoholic drinks at all (since the flight was to Saudi Arabia). The drinks menu was a lot shorter! I tried the “luxury non-alcoholic bubbly” (So Jennie) instead, which was pleasant but I didn’t really think it tasted anything like champagne.

Doing this trip both ways in a couple of weeks.
May I ask what was the champagne on the flight and did they serve it pre departure?

Had the Lallier on my last flight to SHJ.
Served pretty much immediately after boarding, had barely taken my seat. Arabic coffee and dates also came out whilst on the ground.

I don’t remember what the champagne was, sorry, but there was a choice of brut or rosé. It may have been Lallier as @jase05 had.

They offered a choice of any drink you wanted on the ground, followed by Arabic coffee and dates while still on the ground, and then another drink after takeoff.

We were offered the Lallier Brut or the Laurent-Perrier Rose. You could also choose any drink you wanted. We also had the Arabic coffee and dates on ground. Drinks were offered again moments after takeoff. Very efficient and prompt service

This is interesting as a comparison to RUH because IIRC Sharjah is the only one of the constituent emirates of the UAE which strictly prohibits alcohol even for nonMuslims.

Yes. Airlines are permitted to serve alcohol to and from SHJ.
No alcohol on flights to Saudi Arabia or Kuwait though
