Virgin Lounge Food

[Denali]

Perth lounge breakfast. They did a good job on the poached eggs.





Sydney lounge breakfast. Eggs not as good as Perths but still a good enough effort to inspire hubby to make this himself at home.

29 July MEL lounge had the equivalent (as above) pretzel roll, poached eggs , bacon with hollindaise sauce. As most commented eggs were over done but all in all a tasty breakfast and a good start to the day before our flight to PER.

breakfast is easily the best catered for meal of the day.

Penang chicken curry with jasmine rice in the SYD lounge last night, along with the usual sandwich and salad bar. Wow it was busy in there!

VA must have made a bulk purchase of those eggs. They are everywhere....

As are the pre made, plastic bagged curries

(Not complaining - they're not bad)

Melbourne lounge last night (25/8/19) and they had Beef Brisket on hot dog buns with tomato chutney and mustard. The hot dog buns were a let down but I have to say, the beef brisket was fresh and moist!

My question is simple, but I suspect the answer is not.

Based on my on experiences and the many comments in other threads in the VA forum, we all know that the food in the Virgin Lounges is pretty ordinary and rarely changes.

Can we expect to see some improvement in the quality and variety of food in the VA lounges?

I agree completely. They could improve a lot. Have been to VA lounges few times as I don't fly a lot but the food does not make me want to go there again. It's pretty basic , wish they do something to change the menu.

Fully agree about the buns and the brisket; the latter very nice along with the chutney.

The lines were longish at times and the staff serving them was getting a sore hand/wrist from the necessary repeated use of the tongs.

BNE lounge Sunday 1/9 evening

Karage chicken until 6pm.
Then duck tortellini appeared.

Duck tortellini today at OOL lounge was pretty decent, and with some actual meat visible haha. Although the parmesan cheese was sadly missing

The pop up Sud Polaire stand in Melbourne’s lounge today is swell. They’re serving a delicious gin coughtail. I have a 5 hour international to domestic transfer so I really need to exercise self restraint.

The crumbed and deep fried prawns that Virgin are serving as a “bar snack” are pretty ordinary though. Soft and soggy.

Veal tortellini in SYD last night. Sauce was spicy, not a fan. Overall a pass. Had more luck with the toasted sandwich maker when the lounge cleared out.

The paver-esque thing is an omelette or frittata of some sort.

Monday morning's scrambled eggs in SYD dom was excellent. Silky. Basil pesto went really well with it.

 

[Rubix]

Sydney was Scrambled Eggs and Sausages this morning. Not bad.

Darwin domestic lounge is ok. Usually there for lunch on the way south. Good salads, soups and make your own toasted sandwiches followed by very fruity/creamy make your own pancakes. With the limited offerings it is all good food, no trash. Have a lot of varieties of cold beer!!!!!

hope the Perth breakfast is as good as the pics when I leave for Sydney at sparrows fart.

Green Thai chicken curry and rice in the BNE lounge this afternoon. The lounge is the busiest I have seen since the completion of the renovations long ago. I would put it down to an 'infestation' of Richmond supporters...
