Emirates Business Class offers even more bubbly-paired meals
Listen up, jet setters. Your meals in the clouds just got a serious upgrade. This summer, Emirates Business Class customers are in for a culinary experience like no other – 18 new dishes, each paired with a premium Moët & Chandon bubbly, are taking flight. This exclusive menu is the result of over a year's collaboration between Jean-Michel Bardet, Moët's head chef and Emirates' own vice president of culinary design, Doxis Bekris. Their mission? To design the menu to offer restaurant-quality dishes that complement the French bubbly house's most prestigious cuvées, all while being served at 40,000 feet. Among the new offerings, expect starters like poached scallops with green melon and kumquat, going well with the brand's grand vintage 2016. For vegan travellers, silken tofu with poached asparagus and cashew cream is paired with the impérial brut variant. Each dish has been designed to unlock and enhance the flavours of the bubbly that it's served with. Main courses include roasted duck with spiced couscous and cherry tomatoes with fruit-forward pink bubbly. While seafood-lovers will enjoy the seared Chilean seabass with lemongrass sauce and artichoke purée, a dish that is paired with the brut impérial. Even classic comfort foods like roasted turkey and creamy mash are given a luxurious twist and are served with the grand vintage 2016.
