Michel Roth Creates New On-Board Menu For Air France
To mark the launch of the new dishes signed by Michel Roth, on 1st February 2013, the Michelin- starred Chef offered Business customers a preview of his gourmet creations on board an Air France flight to Montreal on Monday.
During this flight, they were able to exclusively discover four dishes prepared by Michel Roth and two Servair chefs: Michel Quissac and Roger Passet. The three chefs replied to passengers’ questions and share their passion with a view to making this in-flight gourmet experience an exceptional interlude.
The in-flight menu comprised:
• Veal simmered with verbena, vegetable fricassee.
• Glazed duckling with rare peppercorns and citrus honey, caramelized mango and pineapple, vegetable bâtonnets.
• Pollock fish, mussel broth with Menton cured lemon zest, simmered vegetables.
• Shrimp and squid with tarragon lobster sauce, red rice and baby spinach.
With menus featuring dishes signed by renowned Chefs, Air France intends to surprise its customers and promote its role of ambassador of fine cuisine and art of French hospitality. As from 1st February and for a period of 8 months, Air France’s Business class customers will be able to enjoy one of the six dishes signed by Michel Roth for Air France. This dish, one of the four main dishes on the menu, will be renewed twice a month for the pleasure of frequent travelers.
Originally from Lorraine, Michel Roth worked at the best restaurants in France, finally stopping at the Ritz, where he earned his second Michelin star as head chef of the restaurant “L’Espadon”. In 1991, he won the “Bocuse d’Or” award and the title of “Meilleur Ouvrier de France”.
Michel Roth’s cuisine, a mixture of authenticity, simplicity and humanity, has its roots in local French produce, where the authentic taste of French cuisine is respected. This rigor and creativity are shared and passed on to the Servair Chefs who make the dishes created by Michel Roth for Air France passengers.
As part of its Transform 2015 plan, Air France places customer satisfaction at the heart of its strategy and is developing initiatives geared to providing exceptional service. The Company is therefore inviting its customers to discover a unique gourmet experience in its Business class cabin and offers dishes signed by renowned French chefs on the menus on board long-haul flights departing from Paris. After Joël Robuchon and Guy Martin, Michel Roth is taking over as the next ambassador of fine French cuisine.
