(TAN): Air France is taking special care of its vegetarian customers, with the airline working with French chef Amandine Chaignot for the first time to create new vegetarian dishes that will feature on the spring-summer menu in the Air France short- and medium-haul lounge located in terminal 2F at Paris-Charles de Gaulle.
Chaignot, who is working with the airline from April until September, has taken over from Chloé Charles to offer a selection of new culinary creations alongside François Adamski, Servair Corporate Chef, Bocuse d’Or and Meilleur Ouvrier de France. Together, the two chefs have developed nine new dishes, some of which are rooted in French tradition thanks to the talent of François Adamski, while others make up a tasty vegetarian range specially created by Amadine Chaignot.

The new dishes will complete the gourmet offer available in this lounge, which promotes French cuisine and responsible catering in a bistro style. “I am very proud to be working with Air France, which I believe is the best ambassador of French culture in the world. For the airline’s customers, I have created several dishes with an emphasis on plant-based produce, which plays a major role in my cuisine,” said Chef Amandine Chaignot.
On the menu in April 2023:
- Courgette blessoto with smoked almonds by Amandine Chaignot;
- Sautéed veal with sage and mashed potatoes by François Adamski;
- Flaky hake fillet with aniseed cream sauce, sliced fennel with dill and rice pilaf by François Adamski.
