Air France passengers can now experience new gourmet menus created by Michelin-starred chef Alain Ducasse, multi-award-winning Chef François Adamski, and talented young chef Chloé Charles at its Paris–Charles de Gaulle airport lounges. The long-haul lounges at Terminal 2E – halls K, L and M – can now enjoy haute cuisine created by Ducasse Paris. This includes the new ‘Burgal’ dish – an entirely vegetarian, healthy alternative to traditional hamburgers made from locally sourced French cereals and vegetables.
The ‘Burgal’ is compatible with all dietary needs and comprises a vegan brioche bun around a vegetable and legume patty with spicy vegan mayonnaise and pickles and an aubergine caviar condiment. Other dishes include a salad with a signature dressing featuring unrefined produce and seasonings with no added fat or sugars and an exclusive chocolate praline pastry dessert.
Guests of the short-and medium-haul lounge in Terminal 2F will soon enjoy an exclusive cuisine collaboration between Bocuse d’Or and Meilleur Ouvrier de France winner François Adamski and a gifted chef at the forefront of responsible catering - Chloé Charles.
Dishes include smoked shrimp in a tangy sauce and seasonal vegetables, a shoulder of lamb with spices, reduced juice, semolina with candied vegetables, and Camargue rice sautéed with West Indian spices and spring vegetable brunoise.
Since June 2022, Air France has committed to offering 100 per cent French meat, dairy produce, eggs, bread and pastries, and sustainable fish from its airport lounges in Paris–Charles de Gaulle.
